Very pretty birds GB can't wait to see the babies.

Hi Maesie, my daughter also collects stamps and I'm pretty sure she would have some doubles she'd happily give up. Can't guarantee what country they'd be from but if you want them I'll get her to go through her collection and see what she's got.

No. 2 egg arrived this afternoon...

Hi there, I have this pair down to breed... Casper an albino (parentage unknown) and Mocha a skyblue YF2 rec. pied cinnamon spangle Mocha's parents are YF2 skyblue opaline spangle split rec. pied hen and a green and yellow greywing cock split blue, ino, cinnamon, and rec. pied. They currently have 1 egg laid on the 25/7 and if all goes to plan maybe another 1 today. Could someone give me an idea on what to expect from this pair even without knowing anything about Casper. I'm very excited as it's been well over a year since we've had babies. Thanks

Hi and welcome

Hi and welcome

Thanks for the answers. I look forward to trying the suggested breedings...how exciting! Hey Nubbly any chance you could post a picture of one of your yf lacewings, they sound so pretty.

Being df gf will all his offspring be gf as well? And on another note is is possible to get a gf/yf white lacewing? I know I can't get it with this pair I'm just asking for the sake of asking! Thanks

They are very cute...Piccolo looks tiny beside Cosmo.

He's very cute. Skyblue is such a pretty colour. :rofl:

Of course a 16 yo boy would say that Matt...and every other boy on the planet too! Lots of competition there I'd guess!!!!!!! Including my 17 yo son!!!!!!

Thanks, feather is removed. Never removed one before so I was a bit stressed I would hurt him. I think it hurt me more than him. He is now named...ta dah meet Cyrus. I've got a 14 yo who is made keen on Miley Cyrus...hence the name. I've got to stop letting my kids name the birds.

Hi, just thought I'd show my new budgie. He's a very pretty dom pied. Not sure if his colour is skyblue though as it seems a bit darker than that. As yet he remains unamed, we're waiting to see if his personality jumps out. In this last photo you can see he has a broken feather. Should I remove it or will it drop out itself? Also the breeder said he was between 6 and 9 months, would this be right. His irises are visible and bright. Thanks

Sorry for your loss.

Yeah that sounds good. Maybe a couple of girls to encourage them as long as you feel comfortable with doing that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and them.

They're gorgeous birds! It makes me envious that I don't do show budgies

Your budgies are cute .

Maybe just giving them the space where they can practice and get some confidence will help. If there is no physical reason they can't then maybe time will be the cure. If your happy with them otherwise then don't give up maybe at a later date do a test breeding with them to see if they pass on their problem. I'm no expert though, but seeing as you already have them now maybe trying something is better then feeling you've wasted your money. :rofl: Hope you get the answers you need. They're very handsome birds though GB.

Hi and welcome

That poor hen...maybe a holiday would look good to her after laying that! :rofl: And twins...woo hoo that'd be cool!

Very lucky little budgie...but he's in your good hands now so it's all good news for him. :rofl: Your other baby could be mauve but I'm not very good with that sort of thing. Someone who really knows their stuff will help with that. They're both very cute though. :rofl:

That's one very lucky little budgie :rofl: .

Hi Nubbly, not sure about his markings. When I first put him on here for confirmation I was told probably cinnamon. But if you think his markings are black they probably are. I was just going with what I'd been told. They are probably more dark grey though if I look properly. He's definitely different when compared to the lacewings colouring. On another note he's paired with the lacewing, what will I get...no lacewings unfortunately but will I only get spangles and normals and what shade of blue will they be? Thanks

Gidday and welcome to a great site .

Hi and welcome! I too would be interested in seeing pics of your birds, especially your crests as I find them fascinating, but alas I don't own any. Hopefully in the future...
