Sick Budgie - Urgent Help Please!
Hi I have a sick bird and I am not quite sure what to do. She is only about 5 months old, a violet TCB. She is all wet around her beak, and puffed up. She is regurgitating seed and she looks like she has been chewing dirt/grit form the ground. She is all bubbly around her mouth. I have taken her out and she is in a flight cage. Please, some help!

Haha, no sorry. Sorry if I mislead some.

Pink Budgie
What i meant by different mutations mixed is that some people think that a rainbow is just a colorful budgie. Eg YF Sky Blue Cinnamon Spangle, Light Green Opaline Spangle or a Cinnamon Opaline Spangle Violet.

Pink Budgie
A rainbow is a YF2 Blue Series Opaline Clearwing. It can have other mutations included. It could be for example, YF2 Opaline Spangle Cobalt Clearwing. As long as it has YF2, Blue, Opaline and Clearwing it is a true rainbow. If you look on this website and go down to Diego and La Fiesta, you will see they are both rainbow : http://sitebuilder.yola.com/sites/Dfd2/D38...2f/my-birds.php

It is possible it was an albino masking violet. He said that the bird came from a true Rainbow, which is a bird with alot of violet in it amongst other mutations.

Pink Budgie
Nup, no sprinkling of letters after his name. His name is Kelwyn Kakoshke (I think I spelt that right). I will try and get some photos, I don't know when I will see him next. Someone at my club is good friends with him, he was the one who originally told me about the bird. I will ask him if he would be able to get him to give me some photo's.

Pink Budgie
*shrug* okay. I personally have not seen the bird, but he has been a geneticist and a show breeder for his whole lifetime, so I think he would know what he is talking about. You can choose to believe what you want to believe JimmyBanks.

Pink Budgie
I can assure you that it is possible to breed a pink budgie:) I know a breeder in Adelaide who has in fact bred one, many years back. He won a prize in a show from it. I am considering breeding one. All I have been told is that they somehow come from a Rainbow budgie, and a proper rainbow one not just different mutations mixed.

Culls and Helping the Purchaser
Well I had birds from you once, and then we had Liv over here from S.A. Chances are high she passed one on. And as you dont seem to keep records of your culls....I guess the new owner will never know anything from you. Also Liv bought birds at the auction where you sold birds and it could have been amongst those. Liv actually sold the bird to me. A normal grey cock , and I asked Renee through PM about his lineage. Sorry if I did the wrong thing, I am just starting out so I didn't know some breeders didn't like to give out history on the birds. Liv also told me that she bough the grey cock from an auction, and you were bidding on another bird.

Ring Question
Both questions are correct. The 2010 rings can be used towards the end of the 2009 season, if a breeder runs out of red rings. We have a nest feather show in late spring here, and 2010 rings were alllowed. You may need a little bit more help from other members, I am still a bit hazy on the whole system.

What Are The Outcomes?
Oh, No I get cha . My mind is quite slow today Had a sleep-in So would anyone know any of the outcomes? Also can I just ask Liv, but why do you suggest pairing the TCB Cock to a Lutino? Is that to help get no colour in the the TCB's I assume they would produce?

What Are The Outcomes?
tad bit confused here... Do you want a picture of that cock?

What's With This Chicks Legs?
It was a long time since I had chicks, but the chicks legs almost look to big for its body?
-
What Are The Outcomes?
Sorry Kaz, On the forum were I learnt about budgies/genetics people just said that so I caught on I am sorry. And no, the picture of the cock there is a T2 YF Spangle Sky Blue Cock. (Is saying YF okay because you wouldn't expect it to be a Yellowface blue?) also I don't know what is happening with the borders, I eidt the size afterwards..sorry again!

What Are The Outcomes?
SQUEAK CRUMBLE............I would like you please to post pictures of these birds. WHY ?? Because you seem to be really confused about what they are or your descriptions of them are a bit cockeyed. okay, Well I swapped my pairs around a bit and now I have the following pairs: WF Cinnamon Grey Cock X YF Recessive Pied Cinnamon Hen - I paired these two to improve the hens blows. I am hoping to show the chicks. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd279/S.../Picture013.jpg Violet/ Sky blue TCB Hen X WF Violet Clearwing - I know the cock is a show bird, but these two bonded in the aviary and I have no use for the cock as a show bird because he is a clearwing. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd279/S...cs/RIMG0004.jpg http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd279/S...cs/RIMG0017.jpg I am quite unusre of these two mutaions, I have it somewere *hunts for the thread* I think... Violet Opaline Spangle X T2 YF Spangle Sky Blue http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd279/S...cs/100_0585.jpg http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd279/S...cs/RIMG1156.jpg
