i love that blue hen in the 2nd last photo and i really like your green hens and the babie blue one and the ones you call clearwings

well my husband has been spoilling me and along with our daughter and son in law has been very busy putting up three more seperate aviarys there has been very bad weather to contend with and it made all the concreting and tileing harder to do than normal but that part is now done we have a lot of cleaning up of cement splatter and tiles and pathway from red mud ect when the rest of them are finished off hes nearly there but not quite as the pictures will show you he did double doors on one again and has to put three more inside doors inside so once in there is access through all the cages BEFORE ANYONE TELLS ME AGAIN I CAN POST BIGGER PICTURES TELL PHOTOBUCKET I SIZED THEM RIGHT AND SAVED THEM AND THEY STILL CAME OUT LIKE THIS GRR GRR GRR thank you first photo after welding frame is getting ready for cement and one door put on 2nd door was added afterwards where the bucket is both doors working nowthe first gap near the wire has now got that panel stuff the same that runs all along the bottom of the aviarys on it it was brought out wider at that end making that aviary bigger than others again puts a bit of shape to it so its not long looking and if i put my babies in there dont know yet it will help strenghen them updoor was made wire on you wouldnt know its a new path with all the wet weather we hadisnt my husband decorative he put a lot of thought into colours and pattern they were left over tiles that we had so that was lucky couldnt fit all in but you get the idear where one internal door will go more photos after

ooh now im confused because i dont think the mother and father are spangle clearbodies shes in top photo would she be called a spangle clearbodys father has identical markings to her back and the baby it has black eyes and my yellows all have red exept the only yellow factor boy i have and he hasnt bred hes been locked up with a yellow hen i brought so far nothing i do have lots other spangles down and will have to have a look to see if i fostered any eggs off them for some reason but i wouldnt of thought i would put it in my texas box i have 7 pairs down with fostered eggs and none of thier own eggs poor birds so would of put it in one of thiers but i am always doing strange things might of got mixed up i do try to keep the varietys i think i know seperate

oopps sorry misread wont get whole bird untill tomorrow then when i take eyes

The dom pied and the sky violet may turn out be show quality, and the dark green I am not sure about yet...maybe not. I'm not sure about the Dark Green either but I'm keen to see what it looks like AFTER the first moult, in particular the cap colour! yes me to i think it the head will stay like that but i think the body colour might change i have saw and held the rare black budgies last year they were adults yes they do exist there were four of them it was unbeilable it reminded me of them headwize sortof

thank you for that elsa and i put them on this forum yesterday under mum and babies if you want to look i lost another baby that had a funny beak too when you get babies make sure you check thier beaks for dried food everyday apparently that was my issue with this one so preventable when you know hubby has started another aviary framed it up today roughly placed where its going got to move it again out so we can get the concrete down but had to make sure it was same height as all the others its a fraction wider outwoods thats all and got to cut doors inside from number 3 cage to this one i have all internal doors after you go in to the breeding room and then because this is the last cage we building it has a door on the outside as well when weather is better so its just sitting there no wire on yet cant wait it will be another free flight for them so i can breed keep more haha

it looks like the green has some bluey colour through it very pretty colour green i wonder if it will change colours after moulting i dont know if thats possible ive never seen a pretty green like that and it was the black that struck me too the bird stands out with that colour doesnt it and are they show quality as i said im trying to learn show traits but not a show breeder

thank you to everyone for advice and links i will have a lot of reading have had quick look very imformitive and helpful unfortanually i have let the babies still go as i gave my word and its my bond i work on old fashioned values so couldnt reneg on it they were happy anyway and im still learning maybe before i cull next i should get yous to cast your eye over for me if you wouldnt mind i have never heard that my birds have good qualities before chookbreeder so thank you for that i was stoked cheered me up anyway this is the babie out of the texas nest would you identify it for me please i think i have another double factor spangle if it is its my second yay

would anyone be able to show me what a brownwing budgie looks like i have seen RIPs signature with a baby one and what it was and want to see a older one so far no luck

what beautiful babies i really like the one near the green seed dish what sort of blue is it and is it a girl then i like the green one behind the pied have these got good show quailitys for you i would say so but im not a show breeder just seeing if i can pick good traits out

:sad: yes your right forgot about salt and sugar not good for birds

one more ring breeder for identification please if you would its a light green full crested male i brought 4 beatuful birds off this person and 3 are rung with his details and got cards ect but 1 isnt his own breeding stock so please its bcv DFS x8 06 black ring they did tell me im sure but i brought other birds too so i cant remember if you can help me out again would be great

why i asked about the canned corn is because i have tried and tried corn on the cob and whole carrots for 12 months on and off and my birds will not touch it and i gave up just wont have anything in full at all so all my vegies are blended up fresh every day all in together today they got pak choy silverbeet celery capsicum parsley carrot bread eggs egg and biscuit packet mix and bit of garlic all blended together takes a bit of time every day but they clean it up so guess i will have to miss the corn thought it would be lovely to see them eating it like in other members pictures i think im going to try the canned one then makka they might go for smaller bits hopefully

thank you elly they go to new homes tommorrow they have too much suffision in them for my liking but they are very healthy and quiet even mum so thats great i was posting these to show what they looked like compared to a all yellow bird im putting on here tomorrow to find out what mutation it is hes in the aviary i got 3 texas and 1 all yellow bird out of this batch but only got this photo as the other bird im keeping for now and these happen to be inside before they go tomorrow so i fluked being able to get photo before they went its so they dont stress out in the morning catching them i like to keep them quite as possible for people

im sorry to hear about your bird

finally got it to work but now its another post god one day ill get it right sorry

it is a horrible way and thing to learn about :sad: i was hoping at worst that the parents just didnt want to feed for some reason and i could of helped there so i got a shock when i realized his beak wasnt right but i will be incorperating beak checks into my routine all the time too now like you so it can be stopped from happening again i hope thank you kaz

:sad: unfortually the little one died today went out and dad was treading on him picking and really getting into it and it died after i removed it thank you kaz i will make sure i do their beaks and its a good helpful article
