Very brave of you Splat and much appreciated. The map I sent you says 2 and a half hours...hopefully its true :celebrate:

Good pickup :celebrate: This violet baby and others were bred from these two............. I also got some dark dark grey YF babies from this paring and some olives. One of the dark grey YF babies turned olive greenish after a moult. BBC Member Libby has some of this original stock as I sold them all to her.

I have had golden faced budgies and I have had yellowfaced budgies in the past when I didnt know what they were unless someone told me what they were....GF or YF. Not much has changed but I hope to figure it out soon. Here are some of my past budgies...before show budgies. Maybe someone who knows can comment.

As long as Renee doesnt cook

You can use my place Sunday if you like....it will be tidier by then

The bubbies approx 3 weeks old

More photos keyhole or not..I like him and he is only just 6 months old.

Pruning is for rosebushes and hedges. Preening is for budgies

These percentage tables are also meant to be taken over around ten clutches I think ?

I am free Sunday

No bird can be split spangle Renee ........are you meanin a a lute that may be masking spangle ?

Another job for Tony....running around rattling the cages so the birds dont get any rest or is it a plan to make them all BOMBPROOF :fear But...YES ...there is a big difference between a fluffed up bird and a normally healthy one sleeping with its head tucked in

How about you get an icecream tub and take a photo of each baby seperate ? AND photo of Dad as two chicks seems to be grey greens and you say he is normal green ???

Cannot be shown in the greywing category. It has to be shown as an Opaline AOSV if it is an opaline greywing. ( AOSV is opaline any other standard variety )

Well that would be me! I don't know about you but when I go out to look at my birds in the aviary the last thing I want to see is a bird sitting on its own with its little head tucked back under its wing - what I DO want to see is plenty of activity going on. Each to their own! Sorry Renee.....you are under a misconception....heads tucked under a wing is normal. A sick budgie sits fluffed up and generally its head isnt tucked under its wing.

If you are breeding for show your greywings must be normals. If you arent breeding for show it doesnt matter at all :fear

STAFF have a bottomless inbox....we dont have this "problem" :hap: :yes: :fear

How To Post Pictures Picture/Image Sizes: MUST be 640 x 480 pixels or under. It is understood that not all images can be resized exactly, but if this is the case, you must attempt to get the pixel dimensions down to as close to 640 x 480 as possible. Sizes deemed to large by Administrators or Moderators may be removed from posts. Follow this to upload your photos to the forum for use in any post you make: 1. Join Photobucket and click "Join Up - It's free". Fill out what is needed and upload your pictures by logging into your account. It is a very safe and user friendly service. 2. You will need to click on the tab "my albums" followed by the sub-tab "albums & upload" once logged into your account. This page allows you to select where your images are located. In most cases, this will be on your computer. If this is the case, select "my computer" in the grey section entitled "from" on the left side of your screen. Before clicking "choose files" (which is where you will select your images to upload), be sure to select 320x240 pixels (medium) OR 640x480 pixels (large). SIZE is a big issue with photos, so remember to adjust this before uploading any files. 3. To choose the photos you wish to use, click on "choose files" and you will be directed to your computer files. Select the files you want to upload and click "open". The files will automatically start uploading to Photobucket. If you wish to upload more than one file at a time, you can use the bulk uploader. This link is found just below where you would upload individual files. Photobucket will confirm your upload and ask you to enter image information. Enter this information and click "save and continue". Your photo(s) are now in Photobucket and can be used on our forums. 4. Your uploaded images are now displayed below the image uploader. If you wish, you may click edit. This will take you to the new edit features. In here, you can crop, change colours and do almost anything to your photo. The most important feature is the RESIZE. Click on this button and enter your dimensions. If you make any changes to your image, click save and either overwrite existing image or save another copy. 5. To go back to the main Photobucket screen, click on "albums & uploads" (top left hand corner) 6. To add photos to your post on our forums, go back to the forum making sure you keep your Photobucket page open. Either start a new topic, or reply to one. When you want to add a picture, simply scroll down to the picture you want to add and right click on the IMG code. Then select copy. Then go back to your post and paste it there (either ctrl v, or right click and paste). When you preview your topic or post your topic, your photo should appear and be the correct size. Please ensure your photo is the correct size by right clicking on it in your post and selecting "properties" and check the image dimensions. Ensure the dimensions are close to 640x480 pixels. If not, please remove your newly added code and repeat steps 2-6. If you are still unable to get a correctly sized image into your post, please make a new topic in this forum and staff will help you out. By all means you can use other photo editing programs and hosting services, just remember to always put the IMG code into your posts and replies. For members, it can be annoying when you have to click on numerous links to view members photos, just because they can't be bothered resizing or don't know how. Often members will bypass your post and not even read it because of this. Please try to keep to the size limitations and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask any of the staff. We are happy to help if you are willing to have a go and follow the rules.

Some of the adverts are worth a look :fear http://www.Redbubble.Com/products/configure/14347628

Mostly thats the bad photos.......he looks different in real life

YES PLEASE

Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Show cage training for him!!! Doesnt he look different to when he was a baby ? He was the sibling that his sister NASTY attacked in the nestbox and he came close to dying too as he wouldnt take the feeds I was giving him....so glad he turned around and started eating. The chicks had to leave the nest early as their Mum started laying again too early. He was bumped out of the nestbox at age 2 and a half weeks or so.

The grey baby seems fine.......quacking its head off I don't mind the look of the Grey at this early stage. Be interesting to see how he comes on. you could be right about the grey...his mask seems long. will try for better photos tomorrow
