*libby*

well you just named them i was thinking gizmo and gremlin but i like these names better

Hi guys here are some links to some new pics of the crested bubs. Ones much more prodominant than the other, but both are good looking little grey spangles. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1libby/P5080001.jpg -baby1 http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1libby/P5080002.jpg -baby1 http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1libby/P5080003.jpg -baby1 http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1libby/P5080004.jpg -baby1 http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1libby/P5080005.jpg - baby2 http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1libby/P5080006.jpg - baby2

agree yf2 df dom pied looks like could be greywing also form the dilution of the black markings on the neck

I say cock also Nice pictures!

They're the best tame happy birds ever!!! we're looking into getting a third bundle of joy to join them Perhaps a different mutation who can mix with them, like a red collared maybe

I agree, just them giving it a "trim". It's very healthy :hap:

That is absoloutly gorgeous!!! i want some of my two lori's!!!!

Here are two short videos of my gorgeous Lori's Kiki and Lala... Kiki is two years old and Lala about 6 months. Lala on the Left, Kiki on the right in both videos... Kiki's very talkative, but Lala is yet to do much. Kiki we know is a definate male due to his... unhealthy prefrences with my hand on occasion, but Lala is yet to provide a sex and i won't get a DNA test. They're both very happy talkative, tame birds, and i beleive Lori's truly do show how wonderful a tame bird can really be! Hope you enjoy them http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1l...nt=P5070674.flv http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1l...nt=P5070675.flv

Looks good phoebe

I add them into my fresh food mixes, with the smooshed up egg also

well yes birds who look like that can certainly be split opaline, but that's coincidence not a definate fact of it or a way identifying the split But it would've been a nice theory and helped with telling splits

well he certianly is, i have had soooo many people ask if he is for sale... sorry guys, that's a big fat NO! LOL!

If you're referring to the picture of you bird like this that you posted the other day it was an opaline spangle i beleive. Not masking one or the other but showing BOTH... Do have more pictures of the bird you could post, perhaps in a new topic so we can keep this one on the subject of the bird at hand ?

Hehe aww schucks Kaz, i dunno... Some of your birds are pretty damn tame! Mars eats veggies off my hand! and he's not meant to be hand tamed

I have several spangles who have the blue instead of black markings or green instead of black without being opaline or split opaline. It's not an indicator of carrying it, it's a fault in the markings. Same as suffision in the ino birds and DF spangles. Nothing more nothing less. By coincidence you bird COULD be split opaline, but this fault alone does not mean he IS. I have birds in both green and blue series like this, with their parents, grandparents and great grandparents all being bred by me, no opaline anywhere in the genetic lines.

Tiels and budgies are good, so're quails... but i don't think i'd personally ever try for rumps or anything else in mine

Mine all get along fine also I think it'll be fine maesie

Good luck with them Fingers crossed they're more successful than the late breeding period Crackle's a gorgeous girl so i'd like to see her bubs

good luck!!!!! I want pictures when you're there

Haha thanks Liv and Kaz Kaz is too modest, i myself have bought many beautiful birds off her! I have hand reared babies for sale at the moment who're fully weaned and tame, various colours and sexes

Producing a female spangle won't prove anything as spangle is not sex linked. You will get both male and female spangles. If the bird IS opaline/split/carrying then you'll get definate opaline hens which could be just oplaline OR opaline spangle. The markings can't be proved to be carrying opaline alone as he could just be split by coincidence. You'll need more than one bird to make this a definate theory, with birds of both carrying and not carrying opaline. To prove it the birds not carrying opaline must not have an "opalesence" through their markings and only the opaline ones doing so.

By the last little feather on it's wing it probably isn't dom pied, but is certainly an opaline spangle

By the looks of it Daz, you've had enough for tonight joking!!!

Only if the green hens split blue daz you forgot that part

I think it's a he and is a yf2 recessive pied No opaline
