Thanks nubbly, Being a gold ring he's okay to breed, the other hen i have to check the date on the ring to see when in 2008 it was born.... she has a brown cere so i'm guessing she's only just coming onto breeding

Thanks for the info neville, didn't know that :hug:

:yes: that's a good idea Liv, I should do that for my tiel's.

I myself, Blow the husk off the top of the tray Then i give it a half refill to top it back up... it only costs me $1.10 per KG ... so it's not that much of a problem when wasting it.... but if you want it to last, just blow the husk off and give it a top up

I see, Thanks for the info, Appreciate it, I originally thought he was a duster due to the suspected juvenile cere, But i saw the gold ring and knew he wasn't cause he would be a big ball of fluff by now

Yellow face mauve maybe? any pictures of her back?

Look forward to the photo's... never heard of yolk-less eggs before ... Unless it contains a chick :yes:

Oh wow.. didn't think he would be lacewing... :yes: Is their a reason why his cere is pink still? he's got a Gold ring on his leg.... so he defnitly aint a juvenile And also, What might i get if they breed?

Okay i bought a pair of budgie's today for $44 as i had a spare home cage that would be great for a pair to just live in.... Anyone have any idea what the white one is?.... he has a pink cere as well... which is confusing me as he looks well mature... Also what is the female... i know she's got green and such but i wanna know if she masks anything else... Male is the white and female is the green heres the pictures

That grandchild looks to be getting white fuzz might be opaline , What are the parent's mutations of the grandchild's parents? ...is their opaline in any of them?

He's sky blue & Opaline, I know that much, Not sure on the wing markings though

I had a similar scenario with my old budgie that i had, i had an 07 cock and the 02 cock in the aviary, next thing i know the 07 cock is on mating with it? :rofl: ...i guess it's just random experimentation or something

Wow, what a beauty! ...should get some great quality photo's from it..... P.S Kaz your avatar is a crack-up

My pair threw an albino and it never had white fuzz, ....all i know is that opaline has white fuzz, wether theirs more i'm not sure :rofl:

Lovely droppings you say? :rofl:

Agreed, Always's good to treat the possibility's just incase, Maybe a tiny bug or mite got in his ear.... and it may be gone by now.... i would like to think of it as a "human swallows fly" scenario.... LOL

Theirs yellow and green....Green comes from the murray region and the yellow comes from the eastern parts of S.A

Haven't had that problem before, Someone else might know though

She's still okay to breed, as long as she's cabinet breeding... that way it's no stress on the old girl from other hens and such do you have a suitable male for her? Any older then 02 is usually too old.... But their's alot of people who have had budgie's up to 10 years old raising healthy clutches.... those were cocks though, not hens with hen's its a different story cause it's alot more hard work.

I thought to the same thing... first i noticed was the flights looked very drooped and bulky...

Assuming you said "Pairing chick with father" you mean inbreeding?

They lay anywhere from 3-8 Egg's most commonly 4 or 5... Temperment is preety much the same to that of a princess parrot... quiet but still quiet frisky around humans... They are 5 year's old... I feed them fruit & Nut seed mix... which contains sunflower, Safflower, a bit of large millet.. and has oat's and a peices of dried fruit in the mix... And of course the occasional fresh fruit & veggies

ROFL!!! The first one is a classic!!!!

Here are the Photo's... The male is the one with more yellow... I must say, I am Very impressed with the result's... they start breeding NOW to december....which mean's i'm going to have to go buy a large box and such... The previous owner said the regent pair had 2 nests last year.... 4 youngens from each nest... So as long as i pull the youngens out at 2 weeks they will have enough time for a second nest
