Nevermind Daz you are right. I didnt realise the chick was female. My next guess is: Dark green dominant pied to a cobalt recessive pied. 50% dark greens, 25% light greens and 25% olives.

Cinnamon olive - Olive recessive pied? 50% normals/cinnamon 50% cinnamons All olives? Somehow I dont think its that simple.

Hi Ripbudgies. That does sound like my tree. The leaves are about 1 centimeter long and they are attached to a thin twig. If you rub your hand along them they all fall off. The flowers are yellow like you described. I am not going to risk feeding it to them, but the rainbow lorikeets spend all day eating the flowers so I am 90% sure it would be fine for budgies. Thankyou very much.

I've put 2 pet budgie pairs in the breeder cages today. They are all very very wild (untame) so I'm not holding much hope. Their cage resembles the bush as much as I could get, so they get all the privacy they can. I will update.

its okay thanks very much Dave for your help.

Does anyone know?

Heres some pictures.

Hi In my backyard their is a tree and I think its called peltoferine. The rainbow lorikeets are always in the tree eating the yellow flowers. I cant see it on any lists in the faq so I thought id ask here. Is it safe for budgies? Pictures will follow.

Cocks do this all the times to hens. I think it is to get them in the mating mood, dancing etc...

I wouldnt breed with any french moult bird because I wouldnt want to risk any babies getting it.

He is a white head red chested black wing.

Hello cam s and welcome to the forum.

Yes I love milo especially when I wake up in the morning. Do you like peanuts

Yellowface opaline skyblue cock. Type two yellowface.

I bred him myself.

The male looks to be a blue yellowface opaline spangle The hen is a yellow face spangle, Looks very much like mauve to me.

Yes its my favourite fruit. Have you ever been out of the country?

I've figured out how to do spot metering. Theirs an option that you can choose, either spot metering or square metering. This camera is so wierd. Im just going to take 500 photos and hope that atleast one is good. Thanks for the help everyone.

Centimeters.

Hi 2budgies. The manual says 80 cm or less for macro. The bars in front are clear as crystal but the bird is blurry as anything, so I beleive you are right. I will see if I can find the spot meter or the light meter button. Thanks very much for replying. Also, if I take pictures in my breeding shed with flash on, the pictures are all very bright and all you can see is a bright light. If I dont use flash than the pictures are blurry. Is this because my shed has no light?

Hi I bought a new camera yesterday. I have a problem that maybe someone here could help me with. I put the camera up to the bars of the cage, and put the macro on without flash. I then zoom in a fair bit so I can get a nice close up shot of the birds cere, but every photo I take zoomed in is blurry and a red light beeps. Does anyone know how I can stop this happening?

Hi Is french moult spreadable? Or do the birds need to be born with it? Should I isolate these birds still or are they safe in the breeding room?

okay thankyou very much. I think ive read this article before, I'll have a read again now.
