*Nerwen*

give us pictures of the parents and we can give idea of the type of offspring to expect but we would need pictures of the babies cere from age 3 weeks and onwards to be able to tell the gender, unless there was a sex linked trait involed.

NO GREENS WHAT SO EVER! Please start calling the yellowface parent what it is - Yellowface violet (not green/violet) the green is only appearing on the chest becuase it is bleeding into the body which is what the type 2 does, Yes these young are yellowfaces. I know what you mean about the green you spoke of on the wings when the pin fethers are still closed up the yellow can look very greenish, only when they start to open do they look yellow. as to the colours your have an even chance of getting grey, violets or blues (would think cobalts but the mother as a grey might not have any dark factors)

give the younger ones another week and they will either turn more pink (male)or more white will appear. (female)

here is a young YF coblat baby around the 2 weeks mark. Is this the same look? you can hardly see the yellow on tbe wings it is a faint cream in real life.

a is a hen for sure...the others all look more female to me as well but you may be right with B and D as males. (looking a shape)

the youngest are somtimes a bit more slow. is there no interest in playing with seed or fresh food? does he move around the cage, as in climb the bars and such. Is the bird still with parents or just with the siblings in another cage?

kaz- who other than, Me, Daz and Karen have Melanistics?? If any?..

pictures would really help, how old are the chicks?

great pics your girl is wonderful.

I agree with that Nerwen, helped me out in the beginning I am sure she got sick of repeating herself

The Pie is correct, you should have no green babies from them, are you just seeing the yellow fethers on the head and thinking they are going to be green? With them you would get a mix of YF blue, YF violets, YF greys, blues, violets and greys.

*I feel a disturbance in the force, seems a fellow just put his foot in it* HeHe i just had to find a comment for the last picture

yes she is a yellowface blue. a hen's cere will change to brown from about the age of 3 months it could take until about 6 months of age as well. ALL hens will turn this colour, be that alone or with other hens or males. are you sure Tweety is a girl? a white cere makes it sounds like a girl, as that is the colour the cere turns when out of breeding condition.

hehe, i like your male. I would steal him in a heartbeat.

This come to mind seeing this: "Oh No, someone wore the same outfit"

that is weird, weirder still that the people living there wanted them to stay!

"OH MY GOD! He did not just say that out loud"

they are great, the 'don't look behind you' cat always makes me laugh. and the fact the budgie is oblivious to the cat makes it all the more funny.

the last two are ywllow face type 2. they might be violets as they seem to keep a more blue belly area... in fact i'm willing to say the last boy is violet. the first is cobalt opaline. can't say age very well all are past the first moult but 8 months to over a year is likely.

look foward to seeing everyones new birds

good to know, repeating the answers helps others as well.

haha good one, but why didn't you leave us time to guess?

this site has some very funny pictures (icanhascheezburger) FAIL Pictures: LOL cats:

PEARL JAM - LAST KISS (very cool song) ... thought to add this is a cover but i don't recall who sang the song first. Your cruel device Your blood, like ice

thanks neat, just asking as the wings seems to be looking spangle...as i can't teel much from the parent picture i'm not sure if either one if them is a spangle or not. white tail feathers is a sign of spangle too.. that or pied.
