Nathan.

Thanks guys... Well Shawna, you see... I have a male named Kirby, whos 11 months old now...and is STUNNING! Hes a yellow faced blue type II, in PERFECT condition, and trying to mate with my hens....all of them except Ariel who is the one who has the eggs now, but shes the only one old enough to breed! When i put them together in the past, they first made contact by kicking eacother with their feet, and fighting madly.... So i scrapped that idea, and i put Ariel with Chico who shes with now.... Kirby and Arielwould have the most GORGEOUS chubby babies, and i wish they at least liked eachother enough to breed! So, when/if these eggs dont hatch, im going to rest Ariel for about a month, maybe 8 weeks, then add her and Kirby to a cage with nest box. HOPEFULLY this time they will accept eachohther.... But i have my doubts! The thing is, my male im trying to breed Ariel with, Chico, has bad balance, but i have noticed its getting better. So i will try them again in the future, once i rule out Ariel x Kirby... Thats a great sheduale Daz..thanks a lot! Next time i have eggs, i will try that, and see what happens! Also, thanks for giving me support as to whether the eggs will hatch or not...thanks again guys! Kirby

:( I candled ALL 5 eggs! NONE are fertile again! :( ! ! ! ! ! What shall i do? The 1st one 'should' hatch on the 27th, and so on.... Should i just wait until they all 'should' hatch...so like May 7th ??? This REALLY SUCKS!!! I never saw a proper mating, but i was hoping they would be like Nerwens guys, which she never saw them properly mate either! Anyways, this sucks, and im sad now! Kirby

ADORABLE SHAWNA!!! :hap: I lovvvve them both! :ausb: Kirby

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How cool! Kirby :hap:

Arent double factor spangles white?..not yellow? And i dont see an iris ring on him.... I think Nerwen is correct on this one Kirby

HAHAHHA... Awwwwwwww Shawna!..i made toys like that, with peices of straws EXACTLY like that! They loooooooooooove it to pieces dont they! I think we should get into professional budgie toy manufactoring, we would make a GREAT TEAM! :D Kirby

WOW!!! Most people, including me!, NEVER get flying pictures! Let alone like 10 PERFECT ONES!!!..... Kirby

So..they actually come in with you? Like you hop in the warm water, and they are on your shoulder?...or....(Laughing out loud). I wish mine did that! The shower head would be to powerful though for my guys...and theyd get power blasted off my shoulder! hahahaha Kirby

AWW!!! ADORABLE BEA! They are soooo cute! I agree!, i cant wait for Oz to moult!..and look sexier, maybe even sexier than Blink :D Kirby

hahah YAY Reibie! We all forgot something though! YOU SHOULD HAVE CLIPPED HIS WINGS!!!! I was looking at the nice shots of him, and noticed his super long, beautiful flight feathers! That is something went wrong, those babies would let him fly away! Thank god you were lucky, and he didnt escape! (Laughing out loud) Kirby

Hahahahahh ...... I AGREE! "need more sleep" YES PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!...more pics! Also close ups of your birds! Such as Munchy and Apples parents...and the other beautiful guys! Kirby

The door is near that bottle on the left side. You cant really see it, becuase the material is hiding it.... COME ON GUYS!!!...we need moore pics! Smilyl...wheres those pics you promised! (Laughing out loud) :): Kirby

Thanks Nerwen!...your my inspiration! If your guys can, then so can mine! thanks for the link!!! So, in other words, i should see red spot, and viens by 6th day at least...maybe the 7th of 8th.... I will candle egg 1 and 2 right now, and see if i see anything! I doubt it though! UPDATE: She laid her 5th egg later that night! YAY! at like 7pm....then MAYBE she will lay another tomrrow!!! If she does, i will be SOOOOOOO EXCITED! Her last clucth was only 5 eggs, none fertile...so she has 5 now, and ive seen them attempt to mate like 70 times.... And the last dew times looked almost successful! I didnt mark egg 4, since i didnt want to touch it, not knowing she was going to lay another! So now, there are 3 marked...and the two newest ones arent....so i dont which on is the 4th and which one is the 5th! So, im going to have to try and solve this! Hopefully i get the egg i want (# 4) and dont have to disturb egg 5 .... (Laughing out loud) Kirby

hahahahah... Awww... :wub : Kirby

Oh :ausb: Sorry Bea!..i never knew! R.I.P Come on guys!...i need more aviary shots! Smilyl...where the new shots your promised! Kirby

Defiantely the lighter one! Those are great shots! Wasnt he the one you found outside? Almost dead? Or am i thinking of a totally different person? Kirby :ausb:

OH MY GOSH!!! I am soooo jelious! Its amazing how he tusts you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much sooooooooooooo soon, enough to let you put him on his back for like 20 seconds...at least! Since you took 3 pics of him like that! What a sweetheart! Kirby

WOW!!!..thanks a lot Shawna! Thats great that you have made it more 'budgie freindly'... I love it!!! Keep it up! How long until Romeo and Jewel can meet the flock? Like 3 more weeks.... or 2.5? Kirby

Yes Shawna...thats what im thinking!!! I will try not to even candle them at all....but if i do, im going to wait until day 15, i already planned that out... Anyways, no 5th egg as of 4:58pm on Monday night...so i think shes stopping at 4! Now hopefully at least one will be alive!!! Kirby

Id say DFS too!..(Laughing out loud) Looks like one to me! How do you know 100% albino?... [pulling your teeth ] Kirby :hap:

I just candled 3 of the 4 eggs....that were ready, and this is what i got: -egg 1 is now 8 days old- opaque, no viens, bubble in wide end has gotten bigger... -egg 2 is now 6 days old- opaque, no viens, bubble is bigger, and has gotten off-centre... -egg 3 is now 4 days old- opaque, no viens, bubble is still small, looks healthier....yet still no viens... -egg 4 is yet to get candled as it is only 2 days old, and im not touching him until at LEAST 5-7 days old now... -egg 5 should be here today!....please pray with me! QUESTION: Do the cloacas have to touch? I have heard the male can spray his sperm instead of actually touching, and she can get fertilized properly? Or should i say succssfully Is that true...??? Kirby

hahahh....same here! Im only 16, but have had HUNDREDS of pets...and every time i see a nice budgie, fish, hamster, gerbil, sometimes a horse, and if i say "i have never seen such a perfect little sweetheart!' or 'Can i have him" my moms like, well, do you have an extra cage? hahahah! Or she ends up buying him for me, until i pay her back! She loves to see me with animals, she says ive got a gift with them. They all love me, and they know they can trust me. Like our one dog we adopted from shelter. He was abused by male teens, and an adult male. He HATES every man/boy he sees, yet loves me to death, and fallows me around everywehere i go! :hap: Kirby :hap:

Good idea!...(Laughing out loud) Best of luck to you! Kirby

Wow..i love your setup soooo much Bea! Your birds are stunnning as usual! So hows Lime doing? Wasnt he the one who had to live inside for a bit, beacuse of wing problems? I guess hes better now eh? yay! :hap: Una your a cheater!..... hahaha, just kidding! Kirby :hap:

awwww..... YAY!-more pics! :hap: Kirby :hap:
