BUDGIE L0V3R

I'm only able to see them when i am on my iphone, not sure what this means. Thanks

Original pictures have started working now

Hi, I'm not to good with mutations but i will have a go at it. Male might be a golden face grey wing but unsure of baby. Thanks

Hi, Not sure if happenening to anyone else but it keeps saying error each time I try to access the pictures. Thanks

Thanks paulie it was pretty badly worded. You answered it correctly so you must be pretty smart to understand my bad writing. So that will mean my yf. Cin. Violet will be a female because the dad is a cinnamon and the mum isn't. Am I right in thinking that? Thanks

Looks like you're not having much luck. When looking at babies, males will have a pink cere and females will have more of a white. If it isn't fully pink it probably isn't a male.

The yf. cin. violet is almost ready to fledge so I will post pictures anyday, i'm not sure if it is violet as it is looking like a light blue. I also have the same bird in the same box but without the cinnamon gene in it so I will compare the two together. I can't remember exactly but I think i was told that if a baby is cinnamon unless the mum is a cinnamon the baby will be a female even if male is cinnamon or split. Am i right or could the baby be either male or female. Male is cinnamon and mum isn't. Thanks

They raised the babies very well together, they babies are starting to fledge and i will have to add some pictures of them now that they are pretty much fully feathered. Thanks

Not good on mutations but I would say male, cere looks pink. If it was female the cere would be white. Thanks

Chicks don't need feeding within the first 24 hours of hatching so not getting fed wouldn't be the problem. The chick could of had something wrong with it that couldn't be seen and that is why it is dead. Sorry for your loss. Thanks

Hi, I'm not to good on mutations but I believe you are able to get either albino or lutino from and ino parent. Because your female is a lutino your babies can be both male and female. If the female wasn't an ino you would only have female ino babies. Thanks

Hi, First is a male and second is a female. Thanks

Thanks for the comments, Yeah it may have a bit of a problem there :laughter: , I've had them together for a long time without problems. The cockatiel raised the lacewing it is in the box with now so they have a pretty close bond. Is that interesting in a good way? Here are a couple pictures of the violet yf. cinnamon, not sure of the name but is it a clear fligt pied as well? (could be called something else) 4 of my lutinos together, 2 lacewing and 2 normal, still have about 3-4 lutinos and albinos to come out. This is the nest that has 2 mothers, 7 babies total. 1 normal blue, 1 blue clear flight pied? (unsure if that's correct name), a couple of green pieds and also a couple of lutinos (looking to be lacewings) Thanks for looking

Hi, I've been following this thread but never put any of my birds in. I've taken some pics of babies and thought this would be a good one to enter so here it is. Re:October Thanks

Hi all, I've been asking a few questions regarding my baby budgies over the past couple of weeks so I thought I would show them off now that they have started colouring up. I have a total of 30 babies, some are starting to leave the nests now and the mums are looking at laying there 2nd rounds. I was unable to have a picture of 1 clutch as it was to blurry, this clutch was the one that had 2 different mothers and have a nice assortment of colours. Here are my youngest chicks, unaware of colours yet. These are my second youngest, just a bit older than the previous ones. Looking to be blue opalines. The oldest box, missing a few chicks now that they have decided to fledge. This box could produce my first male lutinos, mother is a lacewing and father is a yellow grey wing, split to ino. they produced 2 grey wings (1male and 1female), 2 lutinos and one green (male) Second oldest box, babies of my best breeder, 2 lacewings (females) and 2 golden faces (1 male and 1 female) I know they are golden faces as I have bred a few of these from her and as they grow older the blue turns into a sea form green. 2 cinnamons, haven't really checked gender yet. Had 3 babies but 1 died at about 5 days of age, could only imagine what colour it could have been. 2nd largest box, 1 albino, 1 lutino (both female), 1 cinnamon, couple of other colours, and the one closet to the front is looking to be a violet yellowface cinnamon. Very excited about it! A fairly young baby, getting raised by its mother and also a male cockatiel, since hatching the cockatiel hasnt left the breeding box. He often raises budgie chicks and will feed them in the box and also when they fledge. 1 of the lutinos (hopefully first male) and 1 of the lutino lace wings, from different clutches. I am amazed of how different the yellows can be on birds, could any body tell me how I could get the lacewings yellow to become darker? The grey wing, related to the lutino. The golden face, only 2 left in the box it fledged from. Thanks for looking, most of the lutinos I have are going to be lacewing which is great, only bred 2 pure lutinos which are the ones that could become male.

What gender were its parents? If neither were ino, that would mean the dad would be split to ino and the baby will be a hen. It looks like a hen. Thanks

please somebody correct me if im wrong but I believe a creamino is a yellow faced albino?

I don't think the water quality has anything to do with it as no other nests have been affected except this. I think it comes down to the weather and the male disrupting the female to often when she is incubating the eggs.

If they are getting to much calcium causing the shells to be harder wouldn't that happen to all the females? The weather has been pretty poor in Melbourne, I'm thinking this could be the major problem, even though I have bred babies through this weather so far. Thanks for everyones help so far.

This is correct, as long as your male is split to ino you are able to breed female ino's and to be able to produce a male ino I believe you need a female ino and also a male split to ino. Females are unable to be split for ino, they are either a visual ino or not a ino at all. Thanks

They arn't first time breeders, this is there third season. They are using the same box as last time which produced babies so I think the concave would be okay. Her first shot, she came out a lot but on her second round she hardly leaves the box. The cock does spend most of his time in with her. It has been quite cold and windy here of late, I think this could play a role but other females have been able to hatch babies and they laid the same time as her. I change the water in my containiers twice daily and I always keep them clean, so this could be an unlikely reason. Thank you for all your responses

Hi, I started off my breeding season about 2 months ago ( maybe more ) and I currently have 29 chicks in the nest with some getting ready to leave any day now. So far every female that has laid has hatched at least 1 baby from there nest except 1 female. She has now laid 2 different clutches and she has had babies develop inside the egg but die before hatching. Today she threw her eggs out of the box and 1 of the eggs had a fully developed chick in it. Just wondering why these babies arn't hatching? She has had babies in the past so she isn't new to breeding. Thanks

I don't think there is anything wrong with her, she looks pretty normal and could just be some colouring rubbing off on her from something else.

Hi, I did just notice that in the title, haha. So they now have 7 babies 3 of which are lutino, they have started growing in size and are starting to fluff up but still are looking difficult on colours. I will let you know what they are looking like in about another week. I just thought it would be funny to add, as some people know I have a couple of cockatiels in the aviary with my budgies. These babies have 2 mothers looking after them 2 males that regualarly feed the mothers and also one of the cockatiels guarding the entrance of the breeding box. Thanks

Not sure if reliable but have you tried gumtree? Where abouts in Melbourne are you? I have a large amount of babies ready to leave the nest in a couple more weeks if interested. Thanks
