Ta for that lovely

Thanks for that feathers, appreciate your imput Paul

I agree with bubble and say it is a very nice Fallow

Hi guys, I am wanting to know what success people have had in breeding Albinos and Lutinos. You know, things like: What is the best colour to put them with to achieve cleaner white and yellow colours. Also what type of bird (such as opaline, normal etc) to use to increase their sizes. I have heard that breeding Ino to Ino decreases the size a fair bit. Love to hear of your experiences. Paul

Hi David I use cause saw dust in the nest boxes It soaks up the droppings better than shavings, I have never had this problem again since doing so.

It might look be old nerwen but it looks mighty fine to me, i bet your birds love the home.

What a great display nerwen. Love to have piccies of your avairy. Have good Christmas

Thanks for that nerwen...

Hi peoples, I was wondering what your thoughts are on breeding Albinos and Lutinos. I have one female of each, they are of a good size, they are 12 months old and will be ready next year for breeding. What do you think would be the best birds to put with each one, to increase size and colour? I have heard someone mention puting greys with the Albino and normal greens with the Lutino. However, I thought a blue would be good with the Albino and perhaps a olive green with the Lutino. Anyway any help will be appreciated, to find out which is the best colour for each one. Cheers peoples

Well Daz, Hmmm, 50kgs rubbing my hans together............ I might just have to see if I can off load a few kgs, just to think about it makes me tired. It's a big bag 50kgs..........help

Yeah I wish, to have a setup like that. In my dreams

Hi peoples, I've just been given about a 50kg bag of oats straight from a farm, does any body know hour you hull oats. My birds love soaked hulled oat, but won't touch oats that are not hulled. Any ideas would be appreciated, I don't want to have to throw away these oats.

Top stuff Karen, what brilliant babies

Girl

Cool to have you on this forum

Perhaps she has been mating and is in the process of producing eggs.... this would explain the large abnormal droppings. Just a thought

Beaut babies.....I love the deep yellow on your lutino...can we have a picture of the dad.

Rocket carries the ino gene and texas clearbody is an ino recessive type gene or something isnt it, Lovey ? So maybe we get a texas clearbody do you think ? Cool Karen....what area was the meeting held in and how many people turned up.

Thanks for that lovely

I am thinking of puting these two birds together in the next month. What would you think I could expect in colours. Mum is a Golden Fallow and the son is this greeny yellow wingish one. The Dad to this boy was a Green Normal. Would I get any Golden Fallows? Cheers Paul drinks_wine.gif Well these are their babies. And i am pleased with result in trying to get a baby like the mum which is a golden red eyed fallow. Well i only got one baby like the mum, she is not quite as golden as the mum and little on the small side, but hey i'm pleased. The others are spangle and opaline greens, the light green spangles look absolutely great even though the pictures dont really highlight the colours. The spangles and one of the opalines are of a real good size and shape. Well hopefully next time i may get more fallows, here's hoping.

Hi Karen: The show budgie breeder was just here (she is a member of a rare budgie breed club) that you talk of... was her name Judy. Just wandering

Love that Yellow Face, what a fine looking Budgie

Hi Cheeta, the oil is replacing in the seed what it has already lost. The angle here is to put back what the seed has lost and at the same time it is beneficial to hens when egg laying eg: helps to decrease the chances of egg binding. So if you are breeding, the birds do need to retain a certain amount of fat while they are feeding. As well with my birds I feed them all whether breeding or not, with a budgie breeder mix which does not contain major fats in seed like oats. So the amount of oil you add is not a problem.

The longer its got to soak in the better, if you are worried just mix smaller lots at anyone time. I have never had a problem with olive oil and have never had a problem with it going sour. If you stick to the oils we can digest (like olive, vegetable, canola etc) you will be right.
