Thanks Renee and Pearce I am really looking forward to breeding him this year. :budgiedance:

Thanks Pearce he is a real nice bird the green suffusin lets him down but he is throughing nice young with plenty of feather. These are his Amoung a few

That sounds awful maybe you should cull the birds that bred it before it takes over or is it contagious?

Hey whays pbfd?

Thanks Kaz and Pearce the little fellows did the best they can do well I hope they perched I just can't wait to pick them up. A couple more hours yet.

okay RESULTS birds aren't home yet but on their way Grey Green didn't place Grey Green Cinnamon Opaline came 15th there was probably 40 plus birds in her class Yellow DF Spangle came 10th and there would of been a lot of birds in his class too maybe 50 plus not sure as I wasn't there but there is but at least 18 clubs to compete against I think and they take 3 birds from each variety. Really happy with the results as the birds are up against the best in Victoria Just can't wait to get my babies back.

Kaz I seperate my cocks from the hens but only 3 weeks before I put them down and over the breeding season after that I put them all together. BUT i do have a couple of infertile cocks with the hens to keep them active and on their feet.

That's right Kaz, I have never done it but that' what I have been told. If you put 2 yellow faces together you will get DF yellow face birds which have a white face but those DF white face yellow face will through yellow face to all there young.

cinnamon and opaline are invaluable to a stud as cinnamon gives you feather and opaline gives you spots and size, I know it can take over but here it seems all the birds that have feather are cinnamon or split cinnamon. :budgiedance:

Macka I hope to be there for the young bird shield told Greg last night that I have to go to that one so he has to drive me there. I wanted to go today but all the members have a full car. Good luck Macka, which club do you belong to?

Thank you everyone I only hope they do there best. :budgiedance:

Me too :budgiedance:

She looks lt green to me :budgiedance:

:budgiedance: and Welcome and I agree with Neville on this post

Dilivered the birds to Mick today and he will take them to Melbourne tomorrow and I will pick them up tomorrow night. Here they are already to go. I have a couple of pics of each bird Grey green Cock Grey Green Cinnamon Opaline Hen Yellow DF spangle cock, Yes I know he has green suffusion more since he has moulted and it is such a shame but he is throwing nice young. Will let you all know how I go but noy expecting to do any good. I would like the DF to plce in the top 20 that would be nice :budgiedance:

Violet is a dark factor but it is blue series and if you were to do it sooner or later you will end up with Albinos. Wouldn't you be better using a dark green for the dark factor. I personally use light green. :budgiedance: Cinnamon would wash the colour

WOW that is such a big surprise, how gorgeous photos too please.

Hello nice to meet you Pearce, I thought you were much older too. Thanks Dean that is interesting about the rainbows.

They go to Melbourne Sunday for the Shield, my birds are getting a ride down there as my car won't make it yet still getting fixed, I know I won't do any good but but if you don't enter you will never know. GB the DF has suffusion and they have to be yellow all over or white if they are white even though as I stated earlier that when they were discovered they did have the suffusion, This bird does have a fair bit of green. but he is a nice type bird. He will be penalised for his suffusion but then saying that I think a heavy flecked opaline is much worse and should be penalised heavy for it.

Nice looking birds Cam

That looks great, they have are lucky birds

Thanks Liv

Thanks GB, the bib is a fault but it is the way they were when they were first discovered any way he will be marked for it and he has the Same father . and the grey green there has the same father also.Gb

He does look sick
