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!

Hey guys! Well I currently have two little pinkies to a pair of Green Cinnamon Hen to a Opaline Cinnamon Light Green Cock. I was wondering what they would produce? (the hen is a light green also) I don't have the hens lineage, but the cocks is Cock- Cinnamon Grey Green Hen- Opaline Cinnamon Grey Thanks! Squeak

Haha, no sorry. Sorry if I mislead some.

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.

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.

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.

*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.

I could try and get some pictures, but I cannot promise anything

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.

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.

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.

Any newer pictures ?

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?

tad bit confused here... Do you want a picture of that cock?

It was a long time since I had chicks, but the chicks legs almost look to big for its body?

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!

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

Could someone please help me?

True. It just seems lot of them are greens . What varieties are you breeding other then lacewing?

Oh my gosh these bird are just to darn gorgeous! I want that beautiful guy.... it's a crime for him to be so cute!

Gorgeous birds! Your so lucky. You like your green's don't you?

I see some darker ones, she looks about 1+. No expert though, so may need some other advice

Sorry, it is just a habit I am in on syaing it. A blue could be YF or WF, So I normally just say what they are. Sorry's

So does that mean he may be worth keeping? If I just kept any hens and sell the cocks that are split clearwing?
