Hello, just wondering whether this bird would have a chance at a show, just for beginners? He is a huge (huge in my eyes) bird as you will see in the pics below Him compared to one of my pet types Just interested in opinions, and if he isn't what could i breed him to to gain better qualities?

Congratulations splat, i,d love to own more English budgies, my dream would be to show budgies. Might get there one day

Welcome to the forum, enjoy, i find it loads of fun.

I like it really big bird too

Really pretty parents and chicks, very nice indeed

My aunty's budgie does this and is female,i think they think it's a nice bird and try to mate it, but to be honest dont know the real answere

Thanks heaps nubbly

That sounds like a wonderful store, we once had one like that, family owned, but the owners wife developed cancer and has since had more time at home caring for her,now there is a owner who is terrible, he has two aviaries in it with cockatiels,budgies and finches in one, like 50-60 birds, and in the other he has lots of parrots, the floor of the cage is atrocious, and not to mention the smell. He also has like 30 baby budgies in a small cage and they struggle for perch space, it's terrible!

Thanks TAZ

Whats lot 19, did you purchase any birds???

Thanks Gb and Neville i really appreciate the help, the website was very helpful and i think i will try the cinnamon to lacewing neville

Does anyone know anything about this question or about lacewings?

okay so i,ve decided im going to breed lacewings and first thing id like to know is how do you retain a strong lacewing color in the birds.Like with a white lacewing or a yellow how do you keep that (or add to that) cinnamon like wing color i,ve heard something like lacewing yellow cross cobalt adds color and my question is is this possible and if so what colors add to the lacewing gene?

Being honest they all look fertile Yes it is possible to have both fertile and infertile eggs The infertile ones if you shine a torch through them will look clearish, and the fertiles will have blood vessels, eventually they will be full with only an air bubble at the top what i mean by full is if you shine a torch through it it will appear reddy-black The reason they through their egg out is because it was infertile will no embryo just yolk and clear liquid (mental block). So i think you will get chickies because when you look at the eggs they are very white and infertile egg will seem to be yellowy,browny,pinky color and will nearly seem to be transparent Best of luck

Thanks everybody for your input and help i have now read it again and understand thanks!

Sorry i meant DF

You will work it out i know you can, i,ve got no ideas, could you mabey buy a small garden shed and bird proof it??? Hope all goes well.

Thanks Gb i'll read it again. Thanks taylor, i need to know more about the Gf i guess yf seems to be simple.

I agree atleat there happy Sorry taylor not with you on this, you colony breed, But then again i do, just saying if i do something i don't tell others not too, it's hypercritical.

okay, in my opinion she seems alot healthier that the lutino, but i just think the lutino has had a massive few days and they will both be good tomorrow, atleast i hope so. will take a week for her to get over her ordeal why i say let her rest inside for two weeks where you can watch she could still prolapse but she did seem good in the vent area so im guessing with a few days of being left alone but fed warm and watched she should be okay the grey i think is hagged out or has a tummor fatty mass okay i'll send you some more pics of the grey hen.

Can she possibly do that if she has layed 3 eggs earlier that week?

Sorry i re-looked at the ring and they are red.I was in bad light. they are both red riggers kaz and one hen has passed her egg with corzstunt's help ful hand hes in my veiw done a good job and should be congratulated big time as he had other stresses to deal with while trying to look after these hens healths i know id not hesitate to sell him any birds if he ever required any hes a true champ but its his story and ill leave him to tell it i will just put your mind at ease that the egg bound hen is now resting with no issues eggs been layed :) well done mate please still keep her warm and under watch for at least two weeks and with no other birds cocks definitely Thanks heaps Gb but in my eyes you need the congratulated, you were so helpful.
