Here you go.

Hey I have owned this Lutino budgie for 6 months now, I am wondering why she is not completely yellow yet. Have I mistaken her as lutino or will the yellow come in more. She has bits of yellow on her.

they can not get facial recognition right. maybe a app with mutation search engine?

Tillys Nest march 28 2013 hatched wasn't expecting to see a tiny little budgie yet. but it happened and I am happy. looks healthy. I am not sure if I can handle it yet. I also have a egg that looks dis not sure but it has a blackish tinge to it.

Nice idea I might add one to my aviary as I would like to max out the birds space.I will add a safety door as well and add roof to it all. as it rains allot in Tasmania.

yup I have stored misc stuff on that shelf. I am in the process of getting my mini breeding room setup. I have made a make shift roof between my garden shed and carport. this space is good. I will utilize as much space as possible because I am in units.

hehe thats like one time I was in Melbourne in crydon staying at a motel and these couple bought their cockatiel.

thanks So I guess these are likely Mrs teddies. Its worked out pretty good. should confirm it when they have feathers.

everyone will be relieved Tilly is down to 4 eggs. I candled them all with a lamp. Still waiting on my rechargeable batteries for torch. Is this normal when candling eggs to see no veins when they are close to the date of hatching? We couldn't see through these eggs like the others. so these would be fertile wouldn't they? Also I have a suspicion these are Mrs Teddies eggs. I have a feeling Tilly's guide feathers aren't doing there job. She has no feathers around her vent. this would be a problem wouldn't it? will they grow back if she has pulled these? Tilly's eggs are expected to hatch on the 1st of April. Apples are expected on the 5th of April

That egg on the left looks like a double yoker or is it just the photo? lol

here is a thread on my setup http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?showtopic=32360 2nd shelf has sides on it now I have put another cage in the second shelf now. I am thinking of getting some plastic you use on coffee tables.

Yeah I have 2 inches gap at the moment I will get some wood that is higher. Not sure when but it won't matter at the moment. I am only using my 2 bank. one right now because I have removed the nestboxes off the 4 bank one ready to patch holes and make new nestboxes for next season.

Well apples only laid 4. but I will double check tomorrow. So that will put her last egg to hatch will be about 7 April.

took the nestboxes off today I am going to patch up the entrance with ply. then I will be building new nestboxes to attach to the front of the cage, will give me better access. how low can I have my breeding cabinets? I got two bits of 4 by 4 under them to give it a gap from the floor.

Thanks Jenny. Colbolt Opaline.

bumpity bump. I really need to sit down and study these mutations.

Yeah his okay he hasn't broken any eggs, he is sitting in there with her sometimes. Today I bought 1 bank of 4 and 1 bank of 2 breeding cabinets. for 150 dollars. Just gotta customize a few things. I will have to remove the nestboxes and put them on the inside of the bank of 4. so I can have car port access to my backyard. will upload some pictures tomorrow. some new concaves the ones I have are made out of chipboard or mdf. Have disinfected the whole lot and vacuumed should I fly spray them? or is disinfected enough to kill anything that may lurk? These will do me until I decide to use my cage fronts I bought. then I will sell off these. when we carried these through to the back yard I tore a hole in the side of my arm chair couch suite. Wasn't happy but oh well was only a second hand couch anyway. I can have it repaired.

apples & bart - eggs 3 12/3/2013 - worked out the dates now. 14/3/2013 - she is sitting on them tight today. 16/3/2013 - apples and bart both sit in nestbox is that normal? 18/3/2013 - all is good

Mrs Teddies stopped laying which is good. Tilly + Sonic - 5th egg even know she is sitting on 4 others too 8/3/2013 - she must of laid this day instead of the day i crossed out below. 10/3/2013 - checked in the afternoon still 1 egg. checked in afternoon 1 + egg 12/3/2013 - laid woo hoo 14/3/2013 - 4 eggs. 16/3/2013 - 5th egg wondering if this is here last because she made it to 5 last time. apples & bart - eggs 3 12/3/2013 - worked out the dates now. 14/3/2013 - she is sitting on them tight today. 16/3/2013 - apples and bart both sit in nestbox is that normal?

Tilly is sitting on them so all is good for now. I will candle her eggs but I am thinking she will duds again.

Yeah Ill even them out in a few days but I should of marked the eggs lol.

these lights produce heat.

have gave Tilly the eggs from Mrs Teddy, 1 broke so she got 4 added. added some shaving into her nest box to stop them rolling about. checked these eggs I put in 3 were fertile. so possibility the other one is fertile. Will she cope with these extra 4? I'm really going to have to build myself 6 nestboxes. for my breeding cabinet setup when I build it.

Teddy isn't going to sit tonight on her 5th egg; Apples is sitting on hers tonight, she is on her 2nd egg; Tilly sits on her's of a night no problem she is on her 4 egg.

yeah I have had to remove the hole cage from the shelf just to remove the box. I'm trying to not intervene with the eggs. mrs teddies I had no choice tonight she had moved the eggs to each corner. not sure why she left one in the concave. then she laid one about 7.22 tonight as I watched. the other birds are doing fine its just her I'm confused about
