dark green baby is quite interesting... with the extra melamin how does that occur? geneticcaly or by chance?

then the hen must be split blue if they have had other blue chicks there is then a chance of you getting a white df.. just not yet

oh okay who is the goldenface..the mum, or dad if i the mum is gf it doesnt really change whether she will be split blue. a df white spangle the one on the right

you could cover the cage with a towel or something like that to retain the heat as well keeping light out

it depends on whether the parents are blue and green.. what do you mean by type 1?

a normal lamp will not usually give out much heat and 40 watts is the best.

elise, best hugs for you and may you feel better too i am wishing you will feel healthier and happier soon.

welcome to the forum tina! i cant wait for the pics!

he is too cute!

i didnt know him, but 57 is quite young... how unfortunate

oh... i thought that was capsicum!

:emoticon112: SO CUTE!

hope you learn something new

RIP Turbo :emoticon112:

this is normal behaviour and he is scratching himself... he is also probably trying to ask you to give him a head scratch.... babies at this age are easy to train so if you are able to teach your bird to put his neck out for a scratch it shows a sign of friendship by the way, WELCOME to the forum :emoticon112:

no i dont but its good to be as calm as possible becuase it will freak the bird out. The budgie will be moving around in a dark cage if you were to put a cloth on and it could make the bird dizzy and scared :sad:

We need to let it cure a bit ( dry out ) and then we start fitting the walls and dividers and mesh. aha..

i catch the bird and put it in a small cage

this is interesting... i bred a greygreen opaline cock with a normal violet and all the blue babuies turned out to be yellowfaces so how does this work????

Grate the carrot on to a large flat plate, finesliced some spinach/silver beet, mix through, mash a boiled egg and mix through, add the corn and sprinkle birdseed over it. They will eat it. Feed early morning or at 4 pmish .....their natural feeding times. thanks kaz

thats good to know... :emoticon112:

i wouldnt mind giving my budgies corn and carrot.... the problem is which i am very annoyed about is that they wont eat it!! :emoticon112: i mean, how else am i meant to give them nutritious meals

oh no they were really nice birds

my budgie did that once but i think it was just getting really excited or had that burst of energy

awesome....whats next?
