Some updated photos of the motly crew All out of the nest. Poka getting a hard time from Abu and Axel looking on. Axel is already fingure trained. He loves getting on my fingure and nibbling my hand. :bluebudgie: Axel is 40 grams in the photo

Kirby after 5 days out of 7 eggs only two showed they were fertile in my last clutch. I left them and got 5 chicks. Times I touch the eggs. To orginally mark them. 1st Candle after 5 days. last candle after 16 days (2 days before hatch) ....or if I have to foster them. (Last resrot) Too much handling can adle (scramble) them. Great link Nerwen. I'll keep that link.

HurlyBirdy got 70% Right.

Is she all yellow or is there a hint of any other colour except white....? She could be a double factor spangle. (BES)

But a very cute looking washed out Budgie :hap: too much powder in the machine

Hello and Welcome

Either you have some hinden genes or someone has been playing around. Max looks like a sky blue spangle and Pickel looks like a dominant pied . But Mum from this distant looks like a lutino.

I only clip the first four flight feathers. The Bird can still fly quite well. It just slows them don't a bit. I leave my chicks with the parents till they are 42 days. (6 weeks) then for 2 weeks in the nursary box. Sp they are 8 weeks before they go to the flight.

Wing clipping is an interesting debate. I only clip wings of pets that will be allowed to fly free in the house. I know that sounds like a contridiction but it teaches them that the glass windows and doors can't be flown through. It does it in a safe way. I only clip the wings of my birds (House kept) once in their life. Previous Discussion Information on Wing Clipping

dominate pied (a type of gene) type 2 yellow face( Has a yellow face) dilute (Colour is all washed out) so it would make it a genetic yellowfaced washed out budgie :hap:

.....I couldn't say it better.

Fantastic shots. I wish I could get some of mine but I am not quick enough

i've got my good glasses on and can't see spangle......

I agree, A trip to the vet is in order.

Thats what mine go through.

He is down near Pet City.

This is where you would like to bring in the RSPCA to give a talk to the people involved. But it is too small for them and they are too busy. *Topic Moved to suitable location*

I were them. George loves to stand on the arms and peck through my hair. Angel likes to chew on the rims and chirpy thinks there is another bird in the lens

Well I can't say that honey sticks are in the diet either :bluebudgie:

So long as they are water based and non toxic.

Hi Rainbow. I couldn't imagine a budgie at 180 grams. This is figures we have been told from birds in England. Here is Ash at 74 grams. He is a bit under the required length of 9.4 inches (240mm) 2003 Standard. He is a good flyer and I wouldn't call him fat. With the birds I have only one is below 40 grams. My Webpage - go to Photos to see my birds. The top row are all over 60 grams at time of the photo.
