With me it depends on who in the family is doing the namimg! My son has named a few.. J.T... aka Jonathon Thurston Bowie... aka Matty Bowen Billy...aka Billy Slater And the list goes on.... My daughter has named a few - very girly names... Grace Lacey Poppy Anastasia Etc... Me..well I am for the "different" names.. Old man budda Austin Sparkey Mr Grump Droopy LooLoo :rofl:

Thanks Shannon ! I will never come close to your show types and others on the forum, but I love em just the same....

Yes you do, and you should be very proud of what you have done, beautiful healthy chicks......And good pictures !!!

An update on my pet types... She laid 6 eggs but 1 was cracked on the bottom of the cage so I disposed of that one. If my calculations are correct the first should hatch around the 2nd of September.. I am looking forward to seeing what I get, and learning some background mutations of my birds... 1 week to go !!!

Very sweet Shannon.... you take really great pictures!

Love your set up Robyn...

Me too!!

That's so sad M6B... ...It does sound as if Lady was egg bound.... Maybe next time you could get a pet sitter to come to your house? I know it would cost money - not sure how much - but at least they would be looked at and checked daily? If I was closer I would have come and checked them for you...

Very good decision C.S.B... :emoticon112: Looking forward to pics on your new "set up" :rofl:

This should explain for you C.S.B :emoticon112: http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....showtopic=18548

Love this picture Shannon....... :thumbs_up:

Thank you Neville...

Hi there everyone, Not thinking of doing this for another 6 months or so, but what would the outcome be for a Yellow DEC cock and a Lutino hen? Again, thanks in advance...

Love the pictures GB....beautiful babies This picture is special....so cute.

Oh Dave, I am so so sorry, In the short time I have been around the forums, there have been many post's I have read refering to your 2 birds Dumb and Dumber, both will always be very special. R.I.P Dumber...

Hi Everyone.... Do most people use frozen veg (thawed, not cooked), or fresh? I normally use fresh, but have used frozen this week.... :question: Can budgies eat raw potato? Thanks Anne :rofl:

Beautiful little baby Jen144, I'd say the chick is a hen..... :rofl:

That's terrible Kaz..... I wonder why they do this...they sit on the egg for weeks, feed and look after the chicks, then all of a sudden they do this.... Poor little darlings...

Cant help with mutation Jen144, but he is a treasure!!

http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/faqs/i...p;action=search Hi and welcome to the forum animal_lover.. I have attached a link for you that might help you to get started on some info. If you scroll to the top of this page, click the FAQ's, there is heaps of information on there... Have fun with your new budgie...

You have the most beautiful birds Dave....you must be so proud

Don't at first glance she does look recessive but when you really look at the patterning of the marks on the head and wings she is showing dominant pied. Is that the black patches on her wings you mean Elly?

Thank you Kaz, I think I will now dispose of it, don't know how long it was out/cracked, I don't want to jepardise the other two

Hi all.. I checked yesterday, and the pair I have together had 2 eggs, checking them this morning there was a egg on the floor of the cage with a small crack, can I put it back in? can I try some clear nail polish? Or should I just dispose of it? It was cold, so it had been out for a while I think.... Thanks in advance.. Anne

Yes, Elly she has red eyes..... Why am I getting confused with recessive and dominant?.......back to the books.. (I feel so doughy sometimes!!)
