Yes, that sometimes happens to me! I cant get on the site for a day or two... Id say baby 2 is green opaline maybe.... if not normal then Id say baby 3 is a mauve or grey Id day baby 1 is a normal green Id say baby 4 is yellow dominant pied Kirby

Female..... i think sometimes* such as now, but i thought before male And definatly a recessive pied. Notice the wings. Dominant pieds' markings dont cover the whole wing! All the recessive pieds ive seen, imcluding the 9 i have owned, all look like that, whereas no dominant pieds look like that. Look at budgiebirds Ciara and Max. Max is dominant pied, Ciara is recessive. This baby looks identical to Ciara, doesnt she Budgiebird? Also, Karen also bring up the most obvious one, both parents are recessive pieds! If you breed two recessives, babies are 100% recessive! Thats what happend to my pairs, this little guys brothers and sisters are all recessives, and that is common sense about all other recessive x recessive pairings WOW, i sounded pro there! (Laughing out loud) Kinda, (Laughing out loud) Did it help Cheeta? Kirby

llol, wow thanks! My hen sure doesnt look like her! (Laughing out loud) Gorgeous though! Any more pics guys! Please help my little soul out! (Laughing out loud) Kirby

How adorable she is! She was the only egg right? Or only one to hatch? Kirby

Bea those are great!!! I REALLY LIKED THEM ! ! ! I loved the music you chose, ans how you did them with the scripture! Great job! I love lil Ozzie, when he swings back once it broke, and just sat there for a second, them kept chweing it! ;p; Aww And the aviary shots! Lil Porkball, and Gus are soo cute! Have you, are you going to breed the lutino? Shes GORGEOUS! IF i were you, id breed her to spngoebob, or one of the 3 skyblue spangle males! (Laughing out loud) Kirby

Shes a cutey pie! A female, you know that right? (Laughing out loud) im just jokin', i know ya do...(Laughing out loud) Kirby

Great thanks guys! Gypsy, it is at all possible to make your pics bigger, in link form? So i/we can see them in better detail? Thanks! :hap: Daz, i love Him! Yes, i know mine isnt just a underdeveloped spangle. Her markings are clear, they are just very dull, and diluted.... But some angles, they look grey, and sometimes even cinnamon Her boyfriend is a violet spangle whos VERY heavily marked...so i cant wait to breed them next year! Kirby

Hey guys, Can you please post pics of dilute spangles, and greywing spangles? My hen looks like both, and i will take new pics tomrrow to show you, but im torn between the two! Everyone thought she was dilute including me, but now i kinda think greywing...Shes a light, soft green colour, with yellow wings, golden cheeck patches, with the smaller violet coloured mark on either side of her cheeks, yellow forehead, and yellow tail, her spangle markings are very faint though :ausb: Her names Tango by the way... Pass coppied me just kiddin' Thanks!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo . . . . . . How old is he, or how old was he when you bought/got him? The males need to be at least 10 months.... The hen looks ready, male sure as heck isn't! (Laughing out loud) Just becuase his cere is bright blue, doesnt mean hes ready to take on the comiitment of babies as of yet. Id say hes about 9-11 weeks old. So if i were you, id wait another 30 weeks, if not more Kirby

So the tiels are going in the tall white cage right? Then 7 budgies in flight cage? Those sure are FANTASTIC BY THE WAY!!!! I have the 1st cage, and i have 6 budgies in it comfortably now.... Kirby

(Laughing out loud)..youll always get different....different markings anyways From my yellow faced blue type II bred to a greywing skyblue blue opaline recessive pied hen, i got normal blues, skyblues, yellow faced skyblues, yellow faced cobalt blues, skyblue opalines, cobalt opalines, yellow faced blue type I recessive pieds, yellow faced type II opaline recessive pieds, and a white faced recessive pied.... (Laughing out loud) Kirby

(Laughing out loud)... I STAYED HOME SICK FROM SCHOOL ! ! ! YAY! :hap: But i cant even talk! HAHAHAHAH......i watch house too! And i love the name Chase! Wait, im lost, (Laughing out loud). When i said 28 degrees, i meant like its 28 outside... I dont know what degrees is, but all i know it was 28. Is that ferinheight? Or...(Laughing out loud) . So, 28 is VERY WARM! Everyone was sweating, i was shivering! Kirby

Great pics! ! ! How old is that male? His cere is more blue than my 13 month olds, but he still has baby stripes? (Laughing out loud) They sure are nice though! Kirby

ME TOO ETERRI! ! ! ! ! ! ! Hes SOO CUTE and fluffy, and adorable! I wish i had english budgie breeders near me! I still love the name, and it suits him PERFECTLY! I love the picture with kitty in it! I LOVE orange tabbies! (Laughing out loud) :hap: Kirby

(Laughing out loud)... Do you mean i did ddo great observations or...(Laughing out loud) And ive been VERY sick! Sorest throat EVER had before, headeaches, and VERY runny nose! It was 28degrees today, which was hottest day this year, and i felt it was -50, since i was shivering, and freezing ALL DAY! People were taking their sweaters off, and i had 2 on! Anyways, they are gorgeous! What names do you like for them? Im too tired/sick to give a list of a million names... How about Chico, Belle, Smokey, Slate, Cleo, Clyde, Milo, Zach, Lilly, Hannah, Claire, Billy, Mickey, Ben, Rolo, Splash, Kirby, Oscar, Timmy, Marvin, Buddy, Bingo, Ringo, Cosmo, Donald, Soleil, Sunny, Patches, Cashmere, Quintin, Harmony, Peaches, Hank, Tango, Mango, or Skylar Kirby

Shes defitnately my favourite ! ! ! ! ! Kirby

BUDGIEBIRD! ! ! ! ! Stop giving her the nicest ones! Thats Skate and ______ right? Im sick, and cant thin that well right now.... Kirby

(Laughing out loud) guys... Im just going to let them wait a bit, like anohter month.... The males starting to get picture feathers, and the hen's cere is still a white, peech colour. So i will update you guys on what happens over the next couple weeks, and hopefully when i put them back together for breeding purposes, his vent comes in clear cintact with her cloaca, without me trimming with scissors.. (Laughing out loud) Thanks again guys! Kirby

!, 2, and 4 are females... 3 is a male! Im 100% confidant5 with that answer Cheeky! I LOOOVE number 3, the male opaline baby! What a doll! Was that at a petshop right? And you should get that spangle thats preening itself beside bird #4.....take a picture, and well tell you sex , and quess age Kirby

Awww...thanks Misty! ! ! ! ! Truely adorable! What a gorgeous pair! Kirby

That helped a lot lovey..thanks! I thought plucking would KILL too! But i have heard it doesnt..dont ask me how They are old enough, (Laughing out loud), the male Chico is now 4, and the hen Ariel is now 2, but the male has never shown interest in breeding, until 2-3 months ago... I suppose your right, let nature take its course, and hopefully he will get batter balance. Its pretty sad though, (Laughing out loud), becuase my 6 week old male already is already stepping up on the hens' backs, and balances quite well until they tell him to get off...rather harshly... (Laughing out loud) Thanks lovey, i appreciate it! Kirby

Hey guys... I have a pair of budgies, as many of you know, that have had 2 clutches of inferile eggs over the past 2 months. Im letting them rest now, and im going to try breeding them again once their ceres are good, and once they are perfect condition. I have seen the male mount the hen at least 50 times, but he has fallen off every time, before he got a chance to rub cloacas. So, i was wondering if i should try and trim the vent feathers on both birds, to try and increase the chances of fertilzation? Should i pluck them with tweezers? Or trim with scirrors? The males 3 or 4, and the hen is 2 now, so they are perfect match. I have 4 other birds. 2 males, and 2 females. The oldest pair out of the 4 is a male whos 13 months old now, and a hen whos 9 months old, so in going to try breeding them in August, which by that time she will be 12-13 months old. The male from that pairing, is very desperate to breed. He mounts everyone, and everyting in sight! The bad thing however is that he HATES my 2 year old female who laid her first batch of eggs before the male ever mounted her! She wants babis SOOOOOO BADLY! Isnt that terrible htough! They are both old enough, GORGEOUS condition/and colours, but they hate eachother! :( So, in all, should i trim, or pluck feathers? I know nothings wrong with the pair, just the male has bad balance. Hes getting better, but i just want to assist them in creating a wonderful family! ps-the male whos 3 or 4 now, i bred when i was 11 or 12, he was the last baby out of the 1st clutch i had...so hes very important to me...not to mention all my other flock members! Thanks a bunch! Kirby

Good on ya mate! (Imptractising my Austrailian :wub: How about Aqua, Harley, Missy, Belle, Chloe, Zoe, Cleo, Hermine, Harmony, Isabelle, Mary, Aspen, Spruce, Pine, Meggie, Maggie, Lilly, Penny, Sweetiepie, Beeper, Ariel, Tango, Mango, Tiki, Tika, Soliel, Yolkie, Annabelle, Sunshine, Sunny or Sam? Kirby :fear

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww . . . . . . . . . I ,love that name! My male looks exactly like yours, and i called him Sunny the first couple days, then i changed to Chico instead Kirby

Id say cobalt aswell... And a female.... Are you sure 10 weeks? All my 10 weekers have all looked half as young as she does... :offtopic: GOREGOUS EITHER WAY THOUGH! Kirby
