It is hard to tell these apart sometimes No.1 has a white spot on its head No.2. also has a white spot No.3 has a blue spot No.4 her tummy appears a deep grey colour and can bite like her Grandma Sweetie aka Godzilla No.5 very pale grey tummy but wings are like No1,2,3, and next bird No.6 also has a white spot Cindy

Oh poor little Bobby. Accidents happen, so dont blame yourself too much. At least you were there and helped ASAP. Please let us know how he gets on Love Cindy

Welcome back. The babies are too cute. More pics when they are older, please. cindy

:ausb: Blinkie really knows what he wants, and he is going to get it..evn if he has a long wait ahead of him Cindy

Weloocme to the forum Desi. You have very nice looking birds how about calling that last one "Bubbles" I'm sure the human Bubbles wont object For sheer devilment I named 3 of my last lot, Bubbles, Lovey and Blinkie (after Beas budgie). They are all full of mischief..the birds I mean :angel1: Cindy

She is a beauty. Just mail he to me if you dont want her Cindy

I am so sorry Bea, sending you lots of mushy cuddles and I hope they help just a litle bit. Cindy

:(Laughing out loud): That's about the answer I would give too Cindy

oh I am so sorry for you and tiki, and I hope she gets better very soon. Another tip I was given by an avian vet was to place a lamp with a 40 watt bulb over her box to keep a constant heat. although I found the 40 watt got a bit too hot so at night I replaced it with a 25 watt, so it would not overheat the bird and also I was afraid the 40 watt might cause a fire (while we were sleeping) Best of luck Bea, I am thinking of you Yes it always happens when the driver is not home. Cindy

Thanks Daz. The second one looks a pale grey and other times a deeper grey/blue. All I now is she should be named scnappi the crocodile Cherie

I have 5 like this one and back view and this little girl (has to female as she bites like her grandma 'Sweetie', better known as 'Godzilla' back view Cherie

what an adorable bird Cindy

Yes, it is on that back of his head, actually I have the same colour, but I think the other may be female Cherie

Two of my 6 weeks old chicks Cheeky I think is a normal sky blue, but has a white patch (I think he is male, his cere is very dark almost purple in daylight This is Poppet he/she has blue bleeding through her green tummy the cere is a bluey mauve, one nostril has a white ring and the other a blue ring. (Anything to confuse Mumma) Oh what I'd give to have normal coloured birds for a change Cherie

Thank you Daz. I think it's time I give up Breeding, it is getting harder for me to tell male from female lately. It's been so hot here over the last two days, we put all 11 babies inside in the Air conditionieing, and carried the Breeding cabinet with Chook and her 6 newbies into the spare flat for air conditioning ,and did those babies start singing . :dbb1: instead of panting. (Boy I spoil my babies Cherie

Thank you. I thought I may have had all females :feedbirds: Cherie

I hope you are right Bea. The only two i can pick is the Lutino and Albino. (Thet all can bite like females :(Laughing out loud): ) indy

This baby is 5 weeks and 2 days old and one of 11 birds that have similar coloured ceres, some a lot darker than others I cannot see any white or blue circles around nostrils. and I have a few people wanting males from this lot, I was hoping to put males in a seperate cage , but cant tell them apart, except for two of them and they are females. Cindy

Thanks Karen. If I did not know any better I'd say they were crossed with an eagle:(Laughing out loud): . I've had big babies before (not me, the birds I mean) but these appear to be bigger, or maybe its the colour that makes them seem big. Cindy

that one will be a stunner Cindy

Thanks everone. I think I might leave it for another week if i can. Karen the Nest box is a fixture to the breeding cabinet, so I cant see how I could replace it with a larger one. I not that clever worse luck Cindy

Thank goodness they are feeding the baby again. Good luck Cindy

Hi Chooks 6 babies are only 2 weeks old but getting rather large and their nesting box seems to be a bit too small. Is it safe to move them, and parents, to a larger breeding cabinet with a bigger nest box that iis attached to it. I'm not sure if Mum would be happy with that, so i need your input Cindy

Oh what a lovely looking bird. You should get some nice babies from them Cindy

Great pics. I can just hear their flapping and flopping when they forget to open their wings. It's a lovely sight to behold Cindy
