I have an owl aswell but it lands on top of the aviary and scaring them What should I do?

Yeah I wrote that post pretty much as soon as I got them, so I didn't have a real close-up look at each of them. What do you think I would get out of each pair? (Colours/mutations, I mean.) The 4 birds I have inside, (2 budgies, 1 cockatiel and 1 princess parrot) are close to the windows that look onto the part of my verandah that is where the 4 outside budgies are. But we have never opened up those windows. Any bacteria/diseases, would have to be carried through the lounge room, through the kitchen, and across the verandah to the left. Poppy and Bing will make some beautiful chicks, as Poppy's father cost the breeder $700. I was going to get her sister and mate, but decided on Sunny and Fern instead.

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know I have added 4 gorgeous budgies to my new aviary. Due to my age (13) I cannot join Photobucket. So instead, please head to this website= http://taylorstails.wikispaces.com I got all 4 from Lloyd Richardson, master budgerigar breeder and judge. All up, they cost me $150. Sunny and Fern will make some great chicks. Poppy and Bing will make some fantastic, show quality chicks. The chicks would be either recessive pied or Violet. Poppy's father cost the breeder $700, so she is worth quite a bit. Sunny's head markings are quite unusual instead of vertical black lines, there are black dots. The top two budgies are my inside ones and the bottom four are the new ones. Hope you enjoy!

In the 1st picture, what is the orange stuff in the bowls? Seed?

Cute birds Amanda. I especially love Pebbles.

Good idea Amanda!

Oh.. thanks Kaz..

I know how you feel, none of my 2 budgies like millet spray. What i do is place a small amount of seed in the palm of my hand, making sure that the only way to get on is via my finger. I use seed as a treat because pellets are their main diet, as well as fruit/vegies. Really it about trial and error. Try something, if they don't like it, try something else. Hope this helps.

NO NOT A RAINBOW GRRRRRRRRRR LOOK IN YOUR OWN LINK ITS GOT RAINBOW IN THEIR ; :} woops sorry kaz lol i didnt mean tht LOK IN OUR MUTATION SECTION UNDER RAINBOW BUDGIES :} What do you mean, I just said that I THOUGHT he might be rainbow.

Peppa and Matilda are inside. They won't be going anywhere near the outside aviary. I always wondered what their babies would look like. I thought they would have mated last year (2010) but he is old and she is only 18 months old. Yes, he looked even more handsome after those pics were taken. It was hot in my house so I squirted him with some water.

Hi all. Here is the address= http://taylorstails.wikispaces.com/1+Peppa Will create one for her tomorrow as I am too sleepy right now. 12:00am! I am getting 4 new budgies for my aviary, hopefully within the next 2 weeks so I can monitor their adjustments into my aviary. Just over 2 weeks left of holidays. boo hoo. But then again, I'll be in Yr7!!! Will post there pics in a different topic here. Good night all!

Marcusg6- Great to see that you have identified the colour of your budgie. He is extrmemely cute! All up I would say the rarest colour/mutation out of the 3 would be the YFT2 (Yellow Faced Type II), and even that is not extremely rare. To me I would say he is a rainbow. A rainbow is a mish-mash of colours and striping mutations. It does not mean that they are red, orange, yellow, blue and green!

For some reason it won't let me join photo bucket! Would it be o.k. if i post the web address with them on it?

This is Peppa

Marcusg6, seeing you are still new to this forum (and to budgies) I suggest you look at this website. http://www.budgieplace.com/colorsguide.html It helped me out. Also check out this website for some help on genetics! http://freespace.virgin.net/dr.joinery/Colours.htm Good to see that your a keen budgerigar enthusiast!

I agree with birdluv

What type of budgie is Frodo? By the way, he is gorgeous. How old is he?

I showed my mother them and she just about fainted! She couldn't stop commenting on how pretty they are!

I love Squash and Kringle. Are they both spangles? I agree with Kaz, they seem to be very well looked after.

Is is just me or do some of the birds in NEST 2, look spangle? Lovely birds Robyn, I would love to have ALL of them in my aviary I especially love Aquarius, I am in love with Yellow-face blues. Will you keep some to breed off of? I would easily pay $30-$45 per bird ! ! ! ! !

Will post some photos when I figure out how to do it! I think my pc can't recognise my camera's sd card

Yes i do know the parents of the baby albino. the mother was an albino and the father was a blue spangle. in that clutch of 5 there was 1 albino, 3 blue spangle and 1 normal sky blue

yeah, I know. Just wanted to hear some other answers aswell to get wide range!

Here's an update. Sorry I was rushing and not thinking 1: What would a green-grey cinnamon cock and albino hen make? 2: What would a sky blue yellow-faced cock and green-grey cinnamon hen make? 3: What would a sky blue yellow-faced cock and normal grey hen make? And most important of them all!!!! 4: What would a sky blue spangle hen and blue yellow-faced cock make? Thanks!

Hi guys and gals! Just want to know what the outcome would be! 1: What would a cinnamon cock and albino hen make? 2: What would a yellow-faced cock and cinnamon hen make? 3: What would a yellow-faced hen and normal grey cock make? And most important of them all!!!! 4: What would a sky blue spangle hen and yellow-faced cock make? Answers/replies soon would be great. Answer by number: E.G: 1: = 2: = 3: = 4: = thanks
