Thanks Karen, yipee the first opaline spangle I have bred. I'm so proud of ming and her partner, they are such good parents. Thanks Paul

Thanks for that Cheeta it is great to get feed back, and you are right, ming is a lacewing. cheers Paul

What lovely birds you must be so proud. cheers

What a cool effort, it looks great and a nice size one at that. Well done. Cheers Paul

Hi people here is the latest pics of mings babies one has normal wings, one has opaline wings, but the light blue wings I am not sure of. What do you think. Also is a picture of a couple of babies from my yellow face greeny blue turquoisey sort of colour. This first one is a spangle ming has another two babies in this type plus this one which i am not sure of This is mum and dad to the babies below Your imput is appreciated Cheers Paul

I love the Cinnamon cobalts they lok awesome. You have a real nice stock of babies there Karen, all beautiful specimums. Cheers Paul

Thankz for that Daz, the hen has started laying again and if I let her have another clutch that would be her 3rd. Thanks again Paul

Fantastic advice Karen with some great hints. Cheers Paul

As far as I know you can't put hooked beeked birds with pointed beek bird because of the damage that a pointed beek bird can do to a budgies. cheers Paul

Just wanting peoples thoughts please. I have 2 breeding cabinets, both have babies about 4-5 weeks old. I don't want the parents to breed again because, for one hen its her second clutch and the other hen its her first clutch. My question is: is it too early to put the parents and babies into flight cages, which are basicly a double breeding cabinet without the nest boxes on each end. Will the parents still feed their babies in the new cages or will it upset the parents too much. The weather is getting a lot warmer these days and nights so the cold shouldn't be a problem. The babies seem to be getting out of the nest boxes by themselves a lot more lately. Your ideas and advice would be much appreciated. Cheers :wine Paul

Hi, hops, yes I do plan to breed with them next year. Cheers

Hmm is that a lovely chick, I would have put him/her back as well. Cheers Paul

Absolutely love the diversity of colours in the first nest. Isn't it exciting to see what type of chicks you get out of one nest. Cool Cheers Paul

Cool thanks for your reply Cheeta I wonder what nutrition they can get from Chilli's (vitamans etc) Well I might try one and see how they go. Cheers Paul

Thanks Nerwen, I'll post somes pics soon of the babies Cheers Paul

Thanks Daz,,,,I thought it would be a bit extreme. Paul

Has anybody heard of feeding birds with hot chilli's. I am unsure about this (burny burny), however that is what i have been told by an experinced breeder. Hmmmmmmm :devil: Burny

Thanks Rainbow I'll post some pics tomorrow I'm not quite sure what colour they are. thanks for replying Paul

Hi guys I have these two birds bringing up 3 chicks at the moment. The male is suppose to be a yellow face bluey colour the female is the same colour but is a spangle. The pics don't really show the colours well, they tend to be a turquiose blue green colour. so far 2 of the chicks are the same as the dad, however they seem to have a deeper blue in them. What do you think. Will post pis of chicks soon. Cheers people dad mum and dad

What a fantastic boy he is Karen,,,,looks a nice size and colour is awesome. :budgiedance: Paul

6 Babies now Karen and all are doing fine; I'm so thrilled. I think puting a division in the nest boxes have made a big difference. They have noticed the change in temperture. They are heaps warmer and when they get bigger and if the weather gets warmer I can take out the dissions, this will give the hens more room for another clutch and make it cooler. Thanks for the piccies of Ming Cheers Paul Thanks for all your replies I will post new pics next week of the chicks. It is exciting waiting to see what colours are coming. Cheers Paul

Hi people, I recently got a lovely bird from bubbles, her namw is ming and she is an Albino Lacewing. She has been such a good girl, doing all the right things with her new partner. So here is a couple of pics of her and her mate and her new brood. Oh and also how do you think the chicks will turn out? Cheers Paul

Thanks Daz And Nerwen for your info,,,I am hoping to get babies like the mum. Thanks again Cheers Paul 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 Light Grey yellow Face. Would I get any Golden Fallows? Cheers Paul :hap:

Thanks Daz for that valuable information, I don't feel as bad now for the pairing of these two birds. 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 Light Grey yellow Face. Would I get any Golden Fallows? Cheers Paul :hap:
