Merry Christmas to you too! :rofl:

I'm hopeless with mutations but seeings as no one has replied yet, I'll give it a go... Yellow - dunno the voices in my head are saying TCB but that's wrong so I'll pass Uno - pied (I'm going to say recessive but I'm really bad with pieds I get them mixed up all the time... Two - Sky Blue Spangle Six - Olive Green something???? Can't see the wing markings... Robin - Green spangle Pinnochio - Cobolt??? Normal Peace - dunno Orin - Goldenface or yf2 skyblue spangle there looks like there might be something else there too but I can't figure out what it is... Lemon - Green Spangle Halowine - yellowface type 2 skyblue Prepare to have me proved wrong :laughter: WOw pearce either we are smart or both dumb... I will say Grey green as well instead of Olive for Six...

I wasn't thinking it would be the drug type hemp but thanks for the clarification David :laughter: Kaz, or anyone else for that matter, have you ever given the powder to your birds?

I'm with you there pearce, Maths is in the to hard basket for me too.

Merry Christmas Dodger. I hope next year is a great year for you... :laughter:

He's very cute! If you need help training him there is alot of information on the forums and in the FAQ's. Your bird is probably a little nervous because he is not familiar with his surroundings. Do you know what the breeder was feeding him before you got him? You may find he goes through a moult if the seed is a lot different to what he is used to... Welcome to the forum and I hope you find it friendly and fun :laughter:

What I have learnt from this post is that I'm not sure if your bird is type 1 or 2... but I do believe that your bird is yellowface type something :laughter: I've had a stab both ways and both times I've been wrong

:laughter: I will watch this post very closely.

Changing their food could bring on a moult, have you changed your seed recently? As for the feeder I've never used one.

I was reading a book today and it mentioned that Hemp was known to bring birds into breeding condition. Has anyone ever fed their birds hemp before? I'm guessing it would be the hemp seeds but who knows.

ahh I thought that was the case See this forum is full of information you just have to READ READ READ

getting back on topic I guess the right answer to this question is simple... Why would you want to have any other birds besides Budgies?!?!?

Budgiebuyer09, How long have you been breeding for? I know your just starting out again now but before you stopped how long weer you breeding for? Did I read correctly that you are putting down 40 pairs to breed soon? Lets say they have on average 4 babies each... thats 160 birds... How many of them would you be planning to cull? Starting out with that many birds I guess you won't be line breeding

Ahh okay. So would you rather pick a good bird that you don't know the lineage of or an average bird from a good line?

Do you have Dutch pied or Australian Dominant pied jwancia? (I don't know the difference but apparently there is )

Type 1 Type 1...

I'm not at home so I can't check, sorry. When I get home I'll let you know...

I would've thought vegetables would've given enough vitamins and minerals..

But how do you by a bird without faults? If it has no faults why would the breeder be selling?? Other than the obvious, it doesn't breed well...

whats it for? just as a backup incase the other clip comes open?

I haven't ever used it... may I ask what made you decide to use suppliments?

thats great news hope all goes well from here...

slightly Arnt they already paired up or are you pairing up with some of your birds? might wanna think about quarantine if they are breeding with your birds...

look forward to seeing them

good find jwancia!
