September 30, 200618 yr Author might be a mauve? o a violet. Not really sure yet :offtopic: I like that yellow one but s/he is a spangle right? Very faint spangle markings on wings. Body is pure pale yellow and tummy is minty green colour ....so far Edited September 30, 200618 yr by Bubbles
October 1, 200618 yr Author Yellow ? Any new pictures of this baby? What a beauty!!!! Just for you Shawna....here is baby again... ********************************************************** More photos to follow ...we have a real cutie in the nesting box.

October 1, 200618 yr Shawna don't you wish this budgie was really just for you - lick a stamp on it Karen, Shawn will be waiting for this gorgeous baby .
October 1, 200618 yr Author Here is the little violet chick. She is a violet and has grey wings. Seems to be opaline too. Another one of Prince's babies that has turned out violet. I guess that tells us Prince carries violet as he was Yasmins father ( Yasmin is a violet opaline spangle) and father to a violet normal as well. Here is Prince Macey Yasmin by another mother Edited October 1, 200618 yr by Bubbles

October 1, 200618 yr Shawna don't you wish this budgie was really just for you - lick a stamp on it Karen, Shawn will be waiting for this gorgeous baby . Yes Lovey, I do. Thanks for posting the pics Karen. What a doll!!!! MY FAV - YF2 spangle???? Is it a dominant pied too? Kaya and Sonny make gorgeous babies too! Edited October 1, 200618 yr by Shawna
October 2, 200618 yr Author This baby raised by Kaya and Sonny is actually another birds baby as Kaya fostered some others Here are parents ( Saturn and Pluto )
October 2, 200618 yr Author **************************************************************** Of the 3 babies to Bunty (DF Violet) and Rocky ( cinnamon mauve ) the eldest is colouring up like the mother...so far looks darkish blue, normal wing pattern. Other two very pink. No feathers yet. Second baby (an albino) died at 2 days old with gas bubble in crop. Two babies in Jazz and Bonos nestbox...fat pinkies. Three babies to Laureen and Jerry showing some yellow feathers in wings. Kaya and Sonny are the only two budgies left in my old aviary and have 5 babies in their nest box. Some adopted. When they are finished in that aviary Ken is "renovating" for his birds to move back in. We are toying with the idea of breeding princess parrots instead of scarlets. Harley and Rose have two babies ...no new ones yet. Three more eggs. Most likely scrambled eggs knowing those two. Soccerboot the eggs all around as they both get in the nestbox together. Melon has paired up with Slinky and are in a breeder cage. Macey Grey has paired up with Clyde in a breeder cage and they are very happy with each other. My canary babies in the shrub are still at two babies as far as I know. One fell out of the nest earlier today but was safe and I put it back in. Mother canary got back in with babies and all is well. Edited October 2, 200618 yr by Bubbles
October 2, 200618 yr This baby raised by Kaya and Sonny is actually another birds baby as Kaya fostered some others Here are parents ( Saturn and Pluto ) It's nice to come back after a long weekend away to see all nice pics on the net of gorgeous babies for sure!!! When I first saw the baby pics of this particular baby (the one posted specially for Shawna) I was going to say that it looks like a dom pied to me (from the second round of pics, the second and the last pics showed a very dom pied spot on the back of the head...), which means that it can't be Kaya and Sonny's babies. and I guess my very tired eyes didn't deceive me.. What gorgeous little darling!!! and boy that Cinnamon is growing up to be such a pretty girl isn't she!! :wine Oh and princess parrots?!?!?! I'll be over there EVERYDAY if you have babies!!! I LOVE those guys!! I'd love to have a handraised one one og these days.. hehehe..
October 3, 200618 yr Hi Cheeta I will be handrearing EIGHT Princess parrot chicks in the very near future .The eggs are due to start hatching any day now and I take them out of the nest at about 2 weeks of age. So if you're coming over to NSW anytime soon be sure to look me up! (They make fantastic pets and are extremely quiet anyway without being handreared).
October 3, 200618 yr I love the Cinnamon cobalts they lok awesome. You have a real nice stock of babies there Karen, all beautiful specimums. Cheers Paul

October 4, 200618 yr Looks like lot's of names to come up with oh those puppies are sooo adorable :sad:
October 4, 200618 yr Those canary babies are so cute I love the fluffy hair does nature has a way of making baby birds "cute" in their own way before the feathers come in. The budgies are looking great and Cinnamon is so pretty. Cute cute cute..and more cutes with those puppies!!! Could I ask a favor? Would you ever be able to take a picture of them feeding their babies?
October 4, 200618 yr Author Could I ask a favor? Would you ever be able to take a picture of them feeding their babies? Do you mean the canaries ? If so, I can't. As the nest is in the middle of a shrub, anytime I get close, Mum leaves the nest. And I don't get a clear shot at it without parting the branches a lot.
October 4, 200618 yr Author the budgies I will try. Some Mums continue feeding bubs when you look in and some just fly out of the nest. Kaya would stay and be photographed but she is nearly finished with babies and its mostly Sonny feeding them now. If I ever get a good photo like that you will see it first, thats for sure. I did open up a nesting box once just as an egg was being laid inches from my eyes....saw it pop out. The mother just looked at me and did nothing more. I wish I had a camera that day
October 4, 200618 yr I bet (Laughing out loud) we know what they look like mating (coughs) that poor rope since the aviaries have been rearranged has that rope been saved from it's fate

Those are all planet or galaxy names that belong to the planet Saturn :sad: Kirby This budgie appears to be a boy ............so if it IS a boy his name is MARS ***************************************************************** Just a little update. Flash the wonderpup went to his new home on Monday. Here is a heartwarming email his new family sent and some photos. Hi Karen & Ken. I'm sorry that I haven't written sooner, but I'm sure you would understand that we were just having too much fun with Flash!!! Flash is a fantastic dog, great fun. He sleeps/relaxes a fair bit - but the kids will soon put an end to that. Emily loves it when Flash runs and chases her because he skids around on the floor tiles and she thinks that's soooo funny. Jakob loves it when Flash plays tug-o-war with him. The first 2 nights Flash seemed to wake up after a sleep (generally in the afternoon/evening) and run away from his bed crying. I'm thinking he was a bit scared and didn't understand why his mummy and siblings weren't in bed with him. That has now stopped, now he wakes up and heads straight to my bedroom! Flash's sleeping pattern seems pretty good. He goes to sleep anytime between 6.30pm 7.30pm then wakes up at 10.30, he then has a little play with me and goes outside for toilet then we snuggle.....ahhhhhh.....Flash LOVES a cuddle. When he is having a cuddle at night he likes to look at me - it's so cute!!! Once he falls back asleep he goes in his bed and I don't hear from him again until 6 or 7am. He does most of his toilets on the newspaper or if he is outside he always gets off the concrete and either jumps in the garden or does it on the lawn. Flash is an amazing dog....but you already knew that....we promise you that we will take the best care of him and love him unconditionally. We will always send you photo updates of Flash after all you are his Nana & Pop. These photos I have enclosed are of Flash exploring the backyard and hanging out with the kids on Tuesday. Have a great day. We'll speak to you soon. Leonie & Family Flash the garden gnome Flash and mate Jakob Flash, Jakob and Emily Flash dreams of becoming a racing car driver
October 5, 200618 yr Author A very sad thing just happened. I had a chick of Kaya's that wasn't being fed by it's foster parents and it had gone into another nest to be warmed and cared for. I was feeding it too as the new foster parents didnt pay it much attention either. I just went to check it and feed it if it needed to be, to find these foster parents had thrown it from the nest and savaged it :sad: Poor baby. They seemed to know it wasn't theirs, but I didn't expect that. It was doing so well too, that I had named it just a few hours earlier. Here he is ...the yellow one up the back Poor little LOBO
October 5, 200618 yr Oh, that's so sad Karen. He was a real cutie too. :angel1: Some budgies are so good fostering other chicks and some are terrible! And unfortunately it takes for this sort of thing to happen to learn which are the good and which are the bad.
