Agreed Rachelm!! i think they are adorable too. How lucky is that 3 silver ones from two browns! were you expecting that kiwigal?? is brown dominant over silver? if so both parents must be split silver THANKS!! for posting the quail pics they are awesome! if the 13 hatch can you post more? hahaha its a bird party. budgies meet the quails!

i had a pink one, and my yellow face blue rubbed his face on it and ended up with a peach coloured face ha i guess that makes him a peach face

oooh i love this one he looks nice i love dom pieds is this one a grey or mauve?? hahah ... what happen to his cheek patches on the left????

Not in the case of yellowface albino Does anyone have a scientific explanation why that is the case? yeh! that would be good!! can someone explain ?? as i would really love to know why the yellowface is an exception to a "no-colour pigment gene" (albinoism) and can creamino occur in df spangles??

good luck with your fm babies hope it gets better Alpaca-boy.

hey kiwi girl great pairs you have there!! love the differing colours of each pair, great variety i like the aqua coloured bird!! at rat attacked its leg ...ahhhhhh poor thing glad its okay oooh cant wait to see pictures of the quails can you post pics of the baby quails tooo please =]

awwww you have some really cute chicks there kiwigirl !!! but i just love this creamino ...creme =] what a ...i think i have just found the next type of budgie i would like! how does this work? i thought when a bird is albino all the colour is gone?? is that yellowface or goldenface? and i like the 4 little spangle chicks, sky violet and cobalt good mix! some great colours in your flock kiwigirl!!! Alpaca-Boy.

hey catherine! nice budgie! sorry i cant help much but i think it would be a sky blue recessive BUT it has unusual wing markings!! they are like small dots on the end of each feather!

oh ratzy your so encouraging lol im sorry paper princess about your loss i have had a budgie return after 3 days so leave a cage out with seed good luck i will be thinking of him lol gb

awww santa! that is so cute... i miss getting things from santa as soon as i knew santa wasnt real the magic of christmas sort of went =[ so keep that going as long as you can, as i remember christmas as being the most magical time of year i always wondered how santa ggot to everyones houses... now i know! lol and its no where near as exciting as i thought it would be thats nice of your neighbours to look after the birds =] hope she likes her blue budgie!!

Hi Tash! Id say that is a pretty perfect cage for 2 budgies!! looks like a good one =] and what a cool present for christmas a budgie! thats what i got last year, and i have loved them ever since. do they get to pick one each, or are you buying them and making it a surprise?? Alpaca-boy.

oooh wow kaz!! i could listen to your physcic stories all day!!! ... i really love that type of thing especially when someone who is as genuine and honest as you is speaking it... as you feel it has to be true if its coming from someone so honest what an experience it would have been with your mum and nz friend! i wish i could see things like that ive always wanted to. well i am a beleiver, but i can say this ...there are definatley some dodgy "psychic" people out there, that try and make a buck by making things up (total scammers) but i think there are definatley genuine psychics who can feel, see and hear those lost loved ones, and may help you get in contact with them the problem is you just have to find the ones that are real, and speak the truth !! well i guess i could say i have had one experience i think i was 13 maybe 12 and i was home alone in the day, and one moment i felt as if my deceased nanna was there, as if i could feel her presence, it was so odd, i couldn't feel her physically or see or hear her but felt as if she was there and so i decided to brew a cup of earl grey tea, as i knew it was her favourite, and sat down at the table and talked to her hoping she could hear me it is quite a random thing to do but i just hope she was there

hahaahha your funny nubbaly 5 what is this calculator you speak of? sounds like fun is it on the internet??

haha it looks like a colourful chicken! glad he is doiung well still! you can see his fast paced heartbeat clearly !!!! thats amazing his feathers make him look chubby:P

cool i love pieds, cant wait to see more pictures

well dont worry robyn as your doing a good job of that... your birds are fantastic.

i just love this on robyn !! nice clear markings and a cute face, and great colour too! and isnt this one a clearflight GB are clearflights allowed to have clear patches on their chest i understand that it means they have no colour on flight feathers but can clearflight pieds have pied on chest?

oooh thanks for the pictures!!! you know i love em robyn ! there is some really nice colours in this lot robyn !! i like the first picture with the light but very vibrant green! well done! i see what you mean by selling of "doubles", variety is good

ohh... thats what put me off ! as i guessed grey-green ^^^^ up there, as i thought the green was to light to be olive, as olive is usually a more pungent colour but the cinnamon lightened the chest feathers, making me think it was an odd sort of grey-green got it... yep i agree with everyone else now but i was right with the first one, the dark green chick...wooh

hmmmm... this is a tough one i think the baby is a dark green is it just me or is there blue feathers through its chest? i think the mum is a grey-green of some form? thats my guess sorry rachelm if im not much help =]

wow that sounds so much like what i learn in biology! meiosis and crossing over >> which increases genetic variety it makes perfectly good sense, i like your hypothesis chookbreeder! about how the alleles lie on the same chromosome and are linked makes sense why they are inherited together and never seperate! thanks for the interesting genetic lesson =]

congratulations buick! you must be pretty happy with your new chicks! they all look very healthy cant wait to see them feathered up!

yes pics needed for sure GB!! i want to see this great bird again, can you get some front shots of it sunnie???

hey maddy, well i personally have never fed my birds recycled water, but im assuming it wouldnt be to good for them. dogs have a better immune system then budgies, budgies are alot more tempremental but if you want i guess you could try it out on one budgie and see how it goes otherwise if you try it out for thw whole flock, you might lose them all =[ but i guess it depends on thw quality of the water! where is it coming from? a rainwater tank? how long does the water sit in there for?

agreed with robyn, what a lovely bird at the back (skye blue) and sunnie that chick is fantastic !! , makes me want a spangle dom pied grey... or mauve =] i love chicks that look really fluffed up like the one you have i would definatley keep him, congratulations and i think im like you atm falling in love with pieds! dom pieds!
