Kaz,If you were very carefull & 0nly removed the yellow feathers.I don`tthink it would show up a lot,do it a day or 2 before the show.

I would be changeing the bird over,I dought she will know the difference,What colour is the bird.I could put 4 green or blue birds i front of you,give you a look at them for 5 minites & then chance the cages around & say line them back in the same order & you would have trouble doing it.Be different if you had it for aweek,

Angelic, how are you going to do this.I feel a lot of parents might not look,to kindly to there child,lobbing home with a budgie in a cage. :angel1:

There is one way for this child, to have no more upsets.change it with a fit budgie. Surely some one has a budgie of the same colour,they can take to the vets & replace it. I know of budgie that have died on Monday & good as gold on Tuesday.

Its not confuseing,The recessive has spot with a few feathers,maybe 6 feathers. A dominant pie has a patch on the back of the head. A split recessive,if you remove the spot you can show as a normal. You could`nt do that with a dominant.

Nice looking bird,just a pitty you can only see half of him.Is there not a full length photo, :feedbirds:

Timbo,Iam not sure if you have any rings.,as your not a member of a budgie club. I would buy some plastic split rings.You can buy them off ebay in the pet section or at some pet shops.About $5.00 for 10 rings & they will do the job for you.

Yes a fair chance,the 2nd photo may be dead in shell.But for the exercise it showed a full ege.

If they are in the house, the mice & you use the corn & concrete mix.You will have little blocks of concrete,in the walls or were ever theyare nesting. :sad:

If your not trying to breed up to show birds.okay use what you like.But if you are trying to breed for show. put it to a green,Are you a member of a budgie club,talk to a member.You will need rings,they are $45.00 a 100.

just a quick question normal as in colour or normal as in size?if so a. what colour? and b. would he be too big for a normal sized hen? Normal as in colour,use a show size bird.ie a show breed bird, a green or grey green.

Full list, there is 8 combinations.

Red Eye Iam going to bed now,its past my bed time here :feedbirds:

Your the one who telling us it is pied.(Clearflights are pied.)

Elly it looks to have a iras ring & it dosent look black.If it is a black eye. The offspring will be 75% blue clear flight pied. 25% blue. To many combination for a full list.I think there was 12. :

If the picture is the parents.The cock is a albino,not a double factor spangle. The off spring will be. 25%cobalt c/flight/apaline ino cock 25%cobalt/opaline ino cock 25% albino cobalt c/flight pied hen 25% albino cobalt hen The hens will be white & the cocks blue.

Budgies coughing.I have not heard of that happening.Gee Splat, I hope you can get to the bottem of this problem & pritty quick.I would be heading to Moama with the bird like straight away.

Timbo,If you can breed a Red Budgie.The sky will be the limit,for what you can charge for your information,on how you breed it.

You were lucky,there was not a death in the cage,Perhaps you were thinking of dogs.Some breeders,mate 2 dogs to the 1 *****.Then DNA the pups,so they know the sire of each pup,not much good with budgies.Like you say Norm,you lern some thing new,everyday.

Yes ones a yellow(nothing to do withthe colour) feathered & the other is a buff feathered.IE one a tree & the other the forest. : :fear :parrot:

Gee I hope they will drink,in this weather,they might give it a miss.Iwould crop feed the fluffed up ones.

Daz,Seeing as you have her tail,proped up on the other perch,perhaps she has a hinged tail or the wings,may be held a little low.But she looks a better feathered bird then the 1st one.But photoes can lie. I would have liked to see them both set up on the perch, was the judge a budgie judge or a friend of a friend. :fear

Timbo, the other problem I have noticed is the nests are on 2 levels.There will be a lot of push & shove as they will want to nest in the top row. :yelling:

I would think,by the time they are old enough to do that test,you would be able to tell by the colour of the cere.
