yep, i saw the blue on your greywings leg feathers. what about the belly area? mine has blue on its belly. please have a look at the first photo. i did not use a flash - natural ligtning, but a little dark. maybe i should take some more pics tomorrow.

.....i just found this post http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....reywing+members there is a photo of a cinnamon greywing...looks a bit like mine.....so my budgie might be a yf cinnamon greywing....a show breeders nightmare . do you think it's a boy or a girl?

Pretty sure it's a yellowface. Please have a look at the feathers around the vent and the middle of the belly....blue.

i think this little budgie will glow in the dark...the color is different to the normal light green color. it's sort of fluorescent.

I didn't want to buy another budgie for a little while, but I just couldn't walk past this little guy. Usually I don't like to buy my birds from pet shops but it was love at first sight. I spotted the little guy (not too sure whether it's a girl or boy) on Sunday when I went grocerie shopping and I had another look today and it was still there.... . I think it is a skyblue yelloface as its color is a lime green and the feathers around its bottom are blue. I had a look at some of the clearwing and dilute photos in this forum and think it might be a clearwing....or cinnamon dilute? Think the body color and cheek patches are too bright for dilute. Here some photos without flash: The ceres is quite pinkish but i think whitish around the nostrils.

Hi GB, How are you and how are your birds? Hope all are fine. Did you get the results from the vet? Lea

i used my husband's drill and the whole is 4-5mm

yep. will change it. lucky, i had no problems so far.

...no, doesn't need a catch tray. it doesn't drip out....water only comes out while they are drinking (when they touch the little whole with their beaks/tongues).....works fine.

sooo cute...i am in love. just love cockatiels. :rofl:

here the photos...i send the relatives on an outing ;-). love them but it can be a little annoying spending too much time with them. my homemade bird drinker: i used wire+spring from a guinea pig drinker to attach it, but will replace it coz just saw that it is a little rusty. might replace it with cable ties or bend wire. the whole in the lid/cap: ....and here the pretty boys in quarantine: yep, think the lacewing boy will need a nice show type female in future, but will let him practice with my cinnamon pet type lady first ;-) and yes, I would be happy to give you some of his babies in future and would be interested in some of your lacewing or ino show type babies next year.

i will take some photos for you tomorrow or on thursday...still a bit busy with my relatives here for christmas. the water bottles do a great job in the aviary and usually don't leak, think it depends on how big you drill the whole in the lid...i haven't tried them out in smaller cages but maybe you can use smaller bottles in the breeding cages. the only problem is that you have to attach them inside the cage and not from outside as the rabbit/guinea pig drinkers. think most rabbit ones have a little ball in the spout and i am not too sure whether the birds can work it out how to use them. my birds got used to their water bottles very quickly. the two boys are soo cute and very active and very noisy ;-) - lots of singing going on. i call the green one popeye and the lacewing sherbert. i have a nice cinnamon opaline yellowfaced pet type hen (think she is a sky blue violet...she had a lovely light lavender color when she was a baby and now she looks greenish) in my aviary....she might be the right girl friend for the lacewing. might let them breed in late summer/autumn. and for the spangle i've got a creamino or albino hen. talk to you tomorrow or thursday.

hi leeia, hope you feel better soon. have you got yourself tested for psittacoses? infected humans can show flu like symptoms. just want to let you know that the two boys are fine. started to treat them with doxcy on christmas eve. please pm me when you've got the results from your vet. all the best. lea i use small water bottles with a little whole in the lid and turned upside down in my aviary...i change the water in them every couple of days and they work fine, no need to buy drinkers from pet shop.
