The DF yellow face can only come from the YF1, which I think in pet birds isnt a common mutation. But your green like everyone said-has a chance of being split blue and masking YF.

I'll swap the budgies to go in the aviary for the spa!!

Very nice, looking forward to pics later too!! Might have to send my mum up your way soon for a baby bird!!

Dont worry Karen- my club is 7 hours away- and it was the closest!!

and I find it easier on the right!! (plus its the Virgo coming out in me- I like them all to match!)

Hey Feathers, long time no hear- hows things? Fingers crossed for Amira- she's looking well. How are the others going??

Hey Karen- dont worry bout his beak, it should grow out in a few weeks. I had a lovebird like it and once it was cleaned off the new growth came through fine. He's still a spunk though@@

welcome back Neat, I have only just come back a bit more regular too. Love your baby he is very cute

sorry to hear Norm. But I did have to laugh and shake my head when I read your title- "stopped buying birds" never heard such a false statement!!

She is lovely. Ive found the RSPCA tend to flock to 'high publicity' cases not the smaller, lesser ones or on the other extreme they'll visit someone over a neighbour complaint for no reason as one of our members found.

WOW!! Thats alot of feather for a little one. Fingers crossed he turns out well, keep us updated

Woot Woot, sounds like its going well for you. I always found surgery really interesting, you gotta take the good with the bad though. Good luck with it- look forward to hearing more stories. ( I won't ask for details!!)

Dont birds just LOVE pasta? Mine have always had a thing for 2-minute noodles- they turn into monsters when the bowl comes out until they get some.

Save me one!!

If you want to keep one, just take out the nest box and you shouldnt have too many probs. Keeping one with the pair and a nest box is asking for trouble. Good luck, wont have long to wait now!!

Very nice, the top one even looks a bit 'cock-ish' nice and long for a hen. I have a male here identical to the girls. Any plans for them at the moment?

Id go with YF2 Cobalt Recessive pied also. And I reckon its a boy as well

How old is the young skyblue in the top picture? Looks like he is just coming out of his (first?) moult? Spangle Opaline Grey Green - what class does this type get entered into? I have a hen here- these pics dont do her justice, and am very happy with how she turned out but is a spangle opaline. Also if it'll show in the pics she is a patchy greygreen- ie she is greygreen but has grey areas on her body I'll try to get a picture to show what I mean. (sorry to hijack ya thread Daz!)

Absolutely stunning, love these 2.

No 2 blue birds wont give green chicks- only blue. And KAz I nearly had my hand up for one of those YF blue babies for my mum, they are tooooo cute. (the ones in the pics section)

Id go a blue Dom pied and a green spangle split blue. Maybe with both carrying recessive or Ino!! You could get blue or green Dom pieds and spangles. Even a YF blue instead of a normal blue.

Blue Dominant Pied Grey YF2 opaline spangle Opaline DF Dominant Pied (green wing tips may be from rubbing on something before you got him?) YF2 Spangle

C or F? (Colt or Filly?? ) I'd agree with Filly, lovely looking one too. More pics of your youngsters please!!

All yours mate- when you coming to get them?? (Laughing out loud) To be honest I havent seen my birds for a good few weeks so it'll be interesting to see what they are like when I get home. If they are alive after the 44/45C we have had up there. Should be home this weekend to see them.

Thanks for the update Shawna- I was actually thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were, (hope that doesnt sound strange!!)
