**KAZ**

Good on you buddy Terrific job !!

Bullseye spots YES GB, but I was answering based on Naomi asking about normal looking throat spots. Even bullseye spots are hard to acchieve in the average shgow budgie spangle. I have worked out how to get them though

You have an unusual way of describing this bird. Is he grey green or dark green ? Could you post a picture please ?

He's a spangle. He wont get throat spots. Spangles dont

Red eyes and yellow feathers are lutinos. Photos for clarification ?

Photo of the hen is too fuzzy.........use macro setting on your camera. In the bottom photo it seems she is cinnamon grey though. The cock is a recessive pied also known as danish pied.

No............theres forums that are parrots and amongst them are bourke breeders, but I dont know of any specific to Bourkes.

What was it you saw in this hen that might have made you think it was a vioet green ?

Hi Keith, Roger and FRISKY. Would love to see him chatting...have you any video He is looking really nice isnt he ? So vivid a violet.

Cinnamon grey green normal

It had died. You didnt kill it. you do not need to handle eggs nor take them anywhere, even into a dark room. Candling eggs can be done in the nestbox without even touching them.

I dont hand rear so I cannot answer that aspect. BUT Crop needling is a vital skill best learnt early on and not left till the last minute when it means life or death for a bird............for medications emergency crop feeds etc. Everyone breeding birds should learn how to crop feed or crop needle. I do know that crop feeding by needle saved many a baby chick that would not take a syringue feed.

Cocks are males ................can you post a picture as there is different kinds of pieds.

If it was a live chick there would have been bleeding when you opened the egg. The chick would have been bright pink. If it had died the chick would have been cold and purple/blue and no bleeding. A bright one that doesnt put out heat.

The dark factor can also be taken from blue series birds as Clearwing suggested. Green being dominant anyway

and cinnamon babies when they hatch have plum eyes.....very easily seen in a new hatchling.

Ronivet wont hurt and is given as a preventative treatment anyway. I recently had to treat some quarantine birds with it. Made a big difference in just a day or two. So, in cant hurt and I still say she needs a vet diagnosis....but as its easter...you may find it hard to get an avian vet to look at her.

Just checked again Kaz but think they are dark. I'm just so pleased to have a chick and counting, from him. :yes: Thank's G.B., from look of other eggs I think there's a few more to come, here's hoping. I've got 24 eggs in 3 nests, 3 due to-morrow, one from each nest, 3 other pairs thinking about it. the difference between plum eyes and black if it helps and red of course is lighter

canker or megabacteria nothing you can do re meds exactly....... she needs a vet pretty urgently or take a chance and get some ronivet s from someone and assume its canker seperate cage and warmth. Easter weekend so you wont find a vet I expect

A week to ten days roughly.

I was so going to back her yesterday too, but my workload with leadlights got the better of me. I am so glad she's coming through for you and the faith you have had in her is so well justified

real cute Looks like PLUM eyes ?

Light conditions in the shed Joel ??? As I see it as dark and with plastic liner ??

Due to our past experience you will not get anyone to advise you on a public forum how to euthenase a bird. Doing so has a tendency to attract a whole world of trouble and repercussions that noone wants. Suggest you do what Maesie said and or PM more experienced members to ask for advice behind scenes. However, I would clean up the bird first and reassess her injuries. It may not be as bad as it looks.
