love the pics of the babies paul. creamino's thats a new one on me,is this the cross between albino and lutino? mine havent started nesting or thing yet? in the uk but my tiels have.

fantastic pictures. bea yours are the best ive seen for a while.flight shots are hard to get? but fun trying to get them well done !

hi norm love the colours. as to black on the cere i dont know why this happens,but i have had this with some of my babys it soon disapears.nerwen , kaz,elly,daz might know why?

its so difficult to take photo's of mine because of the light issue.

bluebell new baby snowdrop- foxy hope this is better kaz? i am making notes so i can keep for a breeding profile etc.these pics should be better now hopefully please still let know the colour mutations though?thanks

bluebell new close up. snowdrop( left)- foxy (right) hope this are not to big kaz?

thanks will try to get time to post more pics soon.

hi elly bluebell has black eyes.but looks either lace wing/spangled? hi marlony snow drop red eyes but has tinted brown bits could be lace wing? foxy is a hen bird could that be why her wings are brown? i have written down the notes so far .i will try to get close up pics of snow drop and bluebell. i think the only one i got right waqs sunny and you cant mistake her to be lutino.

nice to see the babies at different stages they were born all huddled up toghether. at now at 2 weeks what a transformation? they are beautiful!

i was given a very small ecualptus tree its in a pot at the moment.but i think it will go in the ground for my lot ,it maybe a good idea to do and to cut branches off for my birds im sure they will love it i grow an apple tree for them and a willow tree. i would like to grow a peppermint tree can anyone pm or email or post a picture of this tree and i will see if i can get one in the uk.

i love the colours and names .youve lost me on the gene thing with budgies .when i get time and take pics of my budgies can you all help me with the correct colour genes etc.

if you are restricted for a budget for a new cage,here in england we have a paper that sells good seconhand goods.i have sold cages in there many a time and brought from there too.for 1/2 price.

brilliant work guys! good idea

in my opinion 2 weeks is not long for all to get on.thisw varys from flock to flock. make sure you have a few feeders and do the same for water this should hopefully cut down disagreements.good luck

congrats. love the names so apt

great pictures

hi nerwen these budgies i had for a while, but i had been watching nibble at the paper and all 4 had done this for a while. maybe it was the ink but it could be something from the papers ie: from distrubution to shop.papers are thrown from printers to vans maybe they picked up a virus/disease that way.from working in a news agents the guys throw papers around,chuck them on the ground outside maybe ? its is possible.but i wont be letting happen again.so far my new flock are doing fine.i always use news paper at the bottom of my parrot cage again because he has a metal grid for all his mess to drop through it is easier to catch and clean up.

lovely names. beautiful boys.i like the unusual colours.and i find it hard to resist in buying any other birds. hoefully i will have my last 2 tiels to buy and then wait for budgies and tiels to start breeding.the weather in the uk is warm and cant wait to see what colours and mixtures.

hi claire nerwen is a brilliant person on this forum and is very knowledgable as well quite a few others. we are a friendly bunch but we are all scatter around the globe. nerwen said newspaper at the bottom of cage, this would be the only thing i disagree with through a bad experience. i have had cages indoors and an indoor aviarys . i have put news paper at the bottom but my budgies have chewed the paper and have lost about 4 budgies from this.i have now another indoor aviary we i have a metal grid were all seed/rubbish etc drops through to the tray which holds newspaper for easy cleaning,but the gap is about an inch deep so they are unable to chew the paper. when i get to breed again in my other cages i will either use wood chips from pet store or sand.

beautiful babys.enjoy this time with now.i have had 3 clutches of babys i have helped rear and throughly enjoyed the breeding and caring for the babies. i had babies with the black on the beaks this does disapear when babies are older.getting through the pin feather stage and guessing what colours they are going to be is the time i like best.

i wonder if have the same mites in the uk. glad the babys were rescued.and they are recovering.i hope i dont get nightmares from the freaky budgie picture?

thanks elly. i must of had rainbows in my very first flock then. i now know what i should be looking for.rainbow will tell you i tend to buy unusual colours/markings in budgies but i wont getting any red ones? the link i found the budgie doensnt look well?

it doesnt bear thinking about. beetroot i can understand as it it a veggie.thanks guys

i remember some one took some flight pics of their birds in front of a large mirror they were posted on this forum a few years ago.you are all a talented bunch.
