*Nerwen*

the yellow may birghten like all the feathers do int he first moult but will not change from a light yellow to a yellow matching your goldenface.

in moderation as in all things it's fine Mine love it as well and get a bit each day

I agree with Hurdy. The first picture is great youc an compare the green patch of the pied to her body colour and you can see she is much lighter in colour than the other. Clearwings do not have a pale body colour.

That was good, thanks for sharing.

Bea DF spangle can get a suffusion of colour around the neck area, this guy does seem to have a lot of it and I was looking at maybe a DF pied as well but the total lack of head line marks ( especially under the eye) or throat spots makes me think he is DF spangle. As to breeding matching him to anything but a single factor spangle will give sf spangle babies. The other bird, your hen could either be a Dutch dominant or recessive, the fact that no iris ring is showing and she looks to be at least 6 months makes me wonder recessive. If by the time she is a year and no iris ring appears then she is a recessive.

There might or might not be more than one. It's up to you to look at all the pictures and decide. Glad to see your post Kelly it was becuase you wanted more that I made this.

Yeah I was wondering about the smoke as well, thinking it would be the bigger danger. yes Bea most times with big bush fires you get some warning which you can prepare for. I would do as you did and put them all in a small cage ( or two) for easy travelling. But sometimes even the big fires can change suddenly. Since I was thinking about lately i thought a post here might get others thinking of this if they havn't before. that sounds like a plan if you didn't have the time to move them all.

very very cute I'm glad all are doing well.

It's not something many of us thing about for ourself, what path to take if the house is on fire, even with all the warnings and messages from firefighters. The fire season is around again here in Australia and lately I've been wondering what would be the best plan for the safety of my birds. Sometimes there isn't enough warning to get yourself and family out of danger let alone 10+ birds that are not super tame. I have a small padlock on my cage as protection for people stealing and so I'm sure the door is latched correctly, but this would make it hard to get into the cage quickly. What would you think of doing?

I pinned it for the info, i've never hear of API before

Budgie Addict I added another picture are you still wanting 4 or the last one?

Like in one past I'm goingto add some pictures and ask you to pick out the correct one. For now find me the CINNAMON 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Those that wish to try hit ''reply to this post and post your answers, the answer for those that wish to look are on page 2

No homes yet the adds i'm making are going around next week. But I'm keeping Darel, Czar, Mink and Storm.

I'm sorry you lost this one I can't tell you why or how this one died It could have been stepped on.

Here are some shots of Cupid and Tingle in the big cage. So much for giving more space to settle them all down in the ones still in the breeding cages wanted to join them and flapped and carried on even more for ages :(Laughing out loud): All has settled down now. Cupid and Tingle so far havn't found the food at the bottom of the cage but they found the millet and the bells to play with. Natual colour ( or as close to)

Nice Daz I'm leaving the question open to others, but from this working out it means Marine is carrying the violet gene on the Dark factor becuase I've gotten skyblues from the pair. (cupid and Reep)

Yes I understood about keeping them until older I was just wondering about the blowing. Interesting idea to keep the 3rd best looking one. I guess it's working for him if he is the top.

nice Daz

The yellow bird clearly has iris rings to me. Has she any patch/hue of colour around her neck? Unless the eyes on the yellow look black I think you have two Ino's here the yellow called Lutino the white Albino. And Lovey is right the brown markings on the male would indicate Lacewing.

Kelly give me a topic and i'll start it, which mutation do you want to go over? Maybe this time Lovey can help

Yes that can happen as I have read, havn't actual seen that happen myself

great to hear Terri

Althought I hope to spot folks like that BEFORE they walk away with one of my birds.

Daz jsut a question but if these ones where being picked to keep for showing, woulding the fact that the second one seems to be blowing already give it some points? Blowing for others is when they puff their head feathers up and farward, kinda like the males do when flirting.
