the pie

I really dont see spangle either. they do look like greywing rec pieds but with no body colour dilution. Time will tell hey?

All good Macka- she wouldnt be here if there was a problem, she's a bit small thats her drama at the moment Got a heap of birds here to go, I'm cutting right down. Wish I were closer to Perth

Well done- was it wild or maybe an escaped pet? Either way a very lucky bird

Been a bit quiet on here lately so I headed out yesterday to get some pics of the birds, the baby lovebirds which are adorable at the moment, and the ferrets that are in their winter coat and looking like little fur coats BUT...... my camera is busted a new one is needed and I have no idea what I will do without a camera until I get another- it lives with me especially when I go bush. SO you will have to put up with a few older- not-that-good pics that I already had loaded on here First 'big kid' spot Couple of babies- wasnt sure with the babies from these lines as they are small but seem to grow after a moult or 2 No she isnt splayed just standing odd- bit slippery I spilt some mineral mix sister Few birds-related, going through or close to the first moult Grey bird- free to good home, and young greygreen cock One of the pairs down now, 3 eggs we'll see if they're fertile soon Another pair with 3 eggs- my big green boy and a greygreen hen I bred. 1 pair has 2 babies just starting to get pins Waiting on another pair to show something, and 1 new pair yesterday hahaha going through pictures- so had to include this one, no idea how I got it

Lovely colours.

Big congrats Granma, will Evie want to share you?? :rofl:

I'll send a bottle of wine over for when you finish the last one :rofl: Your going well, love hearing about it

What would you like to show us? Id be keen to see any pics you have. Good going with the showjumping too :rofl:

VERY nice so far Kaz

Sounds good Wildspot, got any more pics of you at events? I was eventing for years and have been missing it lately

Bird paradise- he is an Australian Stock Horse (ASH)

YF hen x cobalt cock= YF blues YF hen x grey cock= YF blues and greys (I like yf greys) Hens will be cinnamon as well. Depends what you are after but I would probably put blue/grey grey/blue

Oh he is CUTE... havent thought of a name though

Yep the bright white down is opaline, the grey down is normal (or not opaline) As opaline is inherited differntly in male/female it makes it easy to sex chicks before they feather up

Hey Jodes- congrats on the little ones. What colours did you get?

Not the only recessive variety though...

Looks great, my old house budgie would of had a ball on something like that

No thoughts and no idea here Are they with other birds? edit.. ***Just read pg1 again...cabinet bred sorry :yes:

I realise it was just barring but I have found that if they have a cap like that they are more likely to develop flecking. I never said she was opaline?

Her down looks white from here- telling its an opaline hen. Father didnt have to be opaline- going by the results of the clutch he was split opaline as not all hens were opaline

The cage looks awesome and your birds are STUNNING

She is lovely Kaz. She moulted out that cap well- I thought she may have retained the flecking a bit more. Will be an impatient time waiting for her to put to nest

He is gorgeous Krosp, looks like a boy from here. My first thought before reading your post was he looks fluffy like a cloud or marshmallow

Very nice mate- look forward to seeing more of him

You learnt to get someone else to wash the car, while you watch the rugby
