If thats suffusion its more than any I have ever seen.

Good thing you noticed Mate. How are you treating him ?

Works well for early independance and less chance of sooky sulking chicks who wont feed themselves.

Yes, I will have to foster the egg and any others.

any news on this little guy ??

I agree with Dean. No moulting budgie should be breeding.

and iris rings..........if they have iris rings that are greyish or light brownish and not full white they are too young.

Omelette has done her usual, ....................she got in amongst her chicks and laid another egg well before they are ready to leave the nestbox !!

Totally agree with Liv

Two babies fledged today..........and Dad has been feeding them well.

Am I the only one seeing grey markings instead of cinnamon ?

His markings appear grey not brown. Grey spots, grey wings and tail. Photos of the back of him please.

Best of luck Renee. I have had a couple of chicks with the same issue here and there.

Good job Shannon

Welcome Kate Really good to have you here.

I truly do not believe that egg eating is related in any way to a deficiency of sorts with birds re calcium levels etc. Often times they accidentally break the egg being clumsy and then it is seen as a food source once broken. New parents have this problem at times and young breeders.

Really nice camera Shannon. Was it a gift ?

Really sorry to hear you lost him mate, but great news that you will get an answer soon.

Hows the legringing going Dave ?

Hi Kate, you will find that babies in the nestbox scrounge around the bottom of nestbox and peck and eat at anything so whether or not the peck up poop being a worry to you.......they do that anyway. So no need to get fussy about putting millet sprigs in the corners. it wont stay where you put it anyway.

Location would indicate moult, but a photo would help.

$2 ?? Wow....our auctions always have a base price of a $30-$50 upwards bird.

Shannon I have noticed a huge difference in the standard of your latest birds, the pairings you are doing, the thought going into your end results and the condition of your breeding birds. Congratulations on all your efforts great job.I wish you well.

I wasnt talking about you Richo

:yes:
