*Nerwen*

They look great I was confused with the title thinking people had addeda thrid country to clasaile budgies with,as in Enlish or america. (which are both wrong) I think the names suit them to a tee Little Bau is a yellowface type two blue. These birds appear to look slightly green (or even almost a normal) they are a great colour.

It does look a bit distended in the side picture. If is normal colour or is it see through? like there is some air trapped inside. I other can answer you soon too. Its been a while since I've had little babies and I never got that close to them at this age.

First picture Left- Patches, oddball Middle- Timmy, Zac Right- Horza Second picture Left- Lalasa Right- Minx Grey spangle- Winsten Yellowface spangle- Ace. (I keep thinking Crazly (sp?) becuse she looks just like Lin's bird)

Aww they look great Hav ehtey got names yet? He oldest looks really happy to be in your hands, keep up the handling a few time each day (10 minis each) and he should be nicly tamed when he is out of the box.

I think this might be the problem. Now that you hve lost one it would be best to check three or four times with the next one and keep an eye on the baby's crop it should have a yellow blob if it is being feed.

I would put it down to Dad wants to breed again and mom isn't ready. But how old is the youngest chick? When they are older almost ready or just are coming from the box it is mostly dad that is feeding them. Mum can handle it if need be, and I think this instance I would worry that dad will turn on is kids. Give them some egg food or fresh food like carrot or lettuce to try and nibble on.

YAY your pair are doing great :ausb: Now what is the name of this little one?

If you are going to scrub and bake or leave in the sun then the only issue from branches not from our yard is if they have been sprayed or not. Still better safe than sorry. If the branches have a small gum nut type thing then it is proably a bottle brush of some sort. I have some trees with them on it by birds love it.

*stares at picture* okay I don't think any are opaline. Remember Blondie had a really pale head, where the bars where faded all of the head we can see had dark baby bars already showing. I think the oldest (green) and youngest (right) are going to be normal wing patterns. The young one looks like a blue. The other too show some signs of pied, with the clear feathers in the second oldest wings (no head :hap:) and the clear flight feathers on the third (far left)

yep Yep Eterri your getting super good at this stuff :hap:

Youu need to check each day at lest once. Two is better morning and night (or afternoon) but that also depends on your hen, if she isn't happy with the intrution then simply leave it at one time a day.

I think more growing is needed I thought the oldest was going to be Vagas? I'm not sure if it's a typo or not since r is far from s on the keyboard. But then I know I can replace a whole wrod with another when typing.

Yep it's a hobby of love not money :hap:

:hap: I had forgotten sorry Hath. But that's what I was saying or trying to say: if nothing happens by 3 weeks it's time to try something else. (either a break or another pair.)

Aww poor guy. How old is he? Good luck with the feeding.

that's great to hear I love it when they 'mess' up your hair, not they can with mine with all the curls built in :hap:

:(Laughing out loud): He will be Dominant just like his dad. :bluebudgie: it still works a ino gene from either parent and the green gene from dad. If the bub got an ino gene from dad as well as mom then it will be a boy.

:bluebudgie: they all look great. Is there a chance some of the other eggs will hatch still?

OMG Daz they look great :bluebudgie: Looks like greenie was split for blue. I had a thought you could call one Disney, and even another Walt :ausb: I like Vagas as a name too.

Super Cool I thought you might have gone for a muscal theme. I meant to ask before what did you use to mark the eggs with?

Yep tell him to wait some more, it may take up to three weeks before any eggs show up. If this is both of their first times then they have to learn everthing from mounting to brooding to feeding chicks. I'm sure the male will catch on quick. Plus most times budgies don't like an watchers and they will normally mate early morning with the daybreak.

That's what I saw too Eterri and int he second picture it still looks like a hen to me, the cere is not a bright pink like a baby male but a tan like a hen comming into condition. As to the pied, her markings are in the place for a dominant which is why most are saying that, at 8 months I think there is still time for a ring to show up.

Well Grey wing is a recessive gene. I would think to pair him with another grey wing (or dilute) to get more.

So you think she is only a clear wing not a dilute?

So Cute :hap: Welcome little Hans Where did that name come from?
