Ooo he's lovely with the picture resized... is that other bird on the left red eyed? if so then it must be split spangle... look at the scaley pattern's on the wing.

Oh...... He has ALOT more barring then i anticipated...

Nothing better then getting awesome quality bird's from great breeder's,

Oh you will, as kaz said he will keep coming back now that he knows the birds are their.

76

Okay,

No point fussing over it now, wait till tomorrow.

They should be fine. As long as the hawk doesnt carry on and scare the living jeeps out of them it shouldnt disturb the parents with the chick.

Tryed ebay yet? they usually have TON'S of cage's for sale, at reasonable price's to.

Try and think positive, she is up in the heaven's with her long missed husband and is no longer in pain or suffering....

distinguish** i am still sticking with it having cinnamon and spangle.....A few other's might have more of an idea.

Then maybe you can somehow stick a see through netting in front of the breeding cage's... wait and see what the CD's do first... if not... im sure you can sort something out

Assuming it's the one on the right, I can still see cinnamon and spangle... unsure of the base color though...

Actually, you would be surprised kaz, depending on the patio size company's who are specialized in netting and such would be cheaper. but yes it costs alot more for them to come and put it up... but as i said, it's less stress having them do it professionally

can that cause it also kaz?...didnt know that... thanks... my box's were completely level when my hen's did this.. so i assumed the hen was more happier bunching the eggs into a corner

Yes, Bunning's is one... i particularly do not like their outrageous price's though.... try the yellow page's and find netting business or something... that way they can come out with the net, put it up. and it's a stress free process.

This is very sad, I am sorry to hear this. An expert would never say that the bird has a cold they don't get colds they get respiratory infections that are not okay when left alone I know that is how I lost Pretty. Before you sell the other one, which I saw up on the board PLEASE wait at least a month to ensure that this bird is NOT sick and you will be giving her to a good home in good faith. Good luck and sorry for your loss. :rip: Agreed, so much for "tiel expert" to think that bird's get cold's? one of those people i guess...and if it's a respiratory infection... anything could have caused it... quarantine especially ..... Any update's on the little guy? did he survive?

Yeah that's what im doing to... im confused, first it's a bit of brown, now it's white then pink lol, Photo will tell the entire story.

That is the way the hen has chosen to sit her egg's.... all mine do the same, it keeps all the warmth in the 1 section corner of the box... instead of having a complete 360 degrees radius around the hen, which can sometimes lead to a egg not being incubated properly which lead's to the embryo dying after 2 hours or so of not being warm.

Exactly... i'd rather keep my mouth shut rather then feel stupid about getting something wrong :rip:

Whitish pink.... i cant make up my mind okay i'll stick with 50/50 each way....we are all going to have to wait till tomorrow ^.^

Agreed

Your male, from what i can see is Double factor spangle... and as you say your hen's are all red eyed, then they are indeed lutino... DF spangle to Lutino pairing is a reasonable pairing... If the DF spangle's parents, grandparents etc carried lutino and it was passed onto the DF spangle via Non visual gene, then i think their's a chance they will throw lutino's... otherwise (correct me if wrong) they will be mostly spangle's. as it is the dominant gene. I have a similar pairing... The father is a Yellow double factor spangle... just like yours except he is in the green series and is a larger showtype budgie, he mated with a Type 2 yellow-face cobalt violet....which is also opaline, and ended up producing all spangles... 2 of which were yellowface and opaline spangle's like the mother...
