That is a great feeling I remember doing a happy dance like Bea the first time I saw the veins then another round I saw the heart beat like you did. I named that bub Cupid.

Since there is a difference in them you may have one fertile. The heat from the dryer might be the reason she isn't sitting on them for long. Try and spray her with water when off the nest. NOT so she is soaked just one or two squirts it will help the humidity in the nest box.

good luck

I agree with Macka and Rainbow. You and your bird are settled into a routine. Budgies sleep in patches during the day and when left alone your budgie will snooze when he feels like it during the day.

Baby budgie tent to nibble a lot regardless of gender they are checking out their environment. If he (just taking your word) bites too hard you can give him a small fight by droping your hand slightly, just enough that he has to focus on balance. Some have also found a time out/in cage period helpful. Welcome to the site I hope you can show us some pictures of your little one.

Oh also wanted to know if you decided to take Mammoth as well?

yes The top bar is dark green the bottom is olive. Now a violet green does look very much like an olive and faint blue markings around the legs is said to be a sign of a the violet gene, But I don't see very dark almost black cheek spots on her, which is another sign of violet.

Hi Michelle your birds a beautiful I look forward to hearing of the journey with these two and their eggs.

Well done Steel. Isn't he the first budgie breed by you that you have entered in a show? That's a GREAT result.

It's a Great site isn't it Comments like that always make me grin.

Yes Under the wings is a good sign of a YF. But she looks so vevenly green and yellow (as in it's not patchy looking) I would stick with her a a dark green.. wait didn't we work out she as olive:

Really they are the same thing. In Australia markers are just called pens.

I believe your just seeing the blue from the flash. All green birds have blue in them as well. If she was YF it would be a patchy green all over.

YEP she did Your turn ellulah

WOW that half sider featherduster is amazing.

Sorry Norm I know I was one of those people. It's not a mutation talk of much and at that time the knowledge was unforgotten in the back of my mind. Also I know when I first heard of them I was mixing the word SELF with CLEAR Not helpful.

Yes it is. found in my area SE qld, and i think most of the eastern coast. edit- yes it is all down the eastern coast of australia.

Well there I learnt something new :sad: Now we have to wait for them to hatch.

:sad: 4 out of 10 is a good result with cat breeds. So many look almost the same and have the same points.

Did you see any redness? It would be best since you are unsure to leave them for the full time. 18 day + about another 5 more past the due date to be sure.

I remember at the pine river bird show watching one have great old time with the water dish for most of the day. It wasn't until close to the end of judging that I found it it was a HEN! Are you sure they are not seeing it as a nice opening to a good nest?

mmk... try this one.

Ellulah - it could be too, I was just going on the chart on the page on the right side it said inop. as to the crested halfside, both sides would have helped. From that shot all I see is a Crested yellowface mauve dominate pied.
