FGM

Yep,I also have a grey female that when she is not breeding has a light blue cere. Its interesting to know the swedish version of the mutation. Beautiful birds!!!!Thanks for sharing

All moulting here,even the rainbow lorikeet outside.Poppy is so bad it looks like he is bleeding above his cere.Only bird not moulting is my handsome Jangles.

ohhh she is gorgeous,love the wing markings.

what about "maurice" or mo for short. He/she is gorgeous.

Awwww they are just so cute.

I love it,you are so clever!!!

Love the last photo,it absolutely cracked me up. Merlin is looking very handsome these days. Thanks for sharing

Yes these markings and the white on the tail made me wonder.I have had a look at photos and there was no white on his tail before but has always had white markings on his grey bit on his wings. I'm thinking its stress,will keep you all updated and give him some extra supplements.

Wonderful news Shawna,glad Lucas is having some time as a normal child having fun.Hope evrything keeps going well and know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers everyday.

No stress to him at all and he has had these colour feathers since he first feathered up.I always use to play with his blue feather on his head as a baby.Still looking through discs for more photos,long process for someone who takes photos everyday. Very interesting Kaz.

Cere is purplish/blue,like a dark eyed clear or lutino male..Will look for more photos today.It's puzzling.

Awwww he is such a handsome budgie,love his colouring.Thanks for the photos and update.

Here is some baby photos(hopefully). It was the white markings on the wings that I had never seen before and of course the white on the tail.Poppy looked like a normal baby I think,well that's what you guys said when I originaly posted the pics. He is a very cheeky budgie,will dance backwards and forwards at the front of the cage looking all sweet and as soon as you get close starts biting and making angry budgie sounds. A real character who is now living with Rocky my grey girl that i kept when I sold the aviary.

sorry guys I will try and fix it I don't know what is going on. Got all but one photo up,don't know what is happening,its something to do with photobuckets settings.

okay some of you might remember my first babies,well I have a question for all those genetic wizards out there.I always thought Poppy was a normal type of blue but now he is growing I can see small differences.His parents were a lacewing lutino and a normal green split lutino. here are some pics,first one shows a blue feather on the back of his head markings on his wings his tail his back showing his cere Poppy was born mid novenber last year,I forget when the cere is suppose to change colour? Any ideas?

they are so cute!Great photos and you have beautiful eyes!
