October 7, 200618 yr Author Thanks mate! May she rest in peace :hap: All doing great however :hap: Lucky is balacnign on my arm as we speak I really want to keep him :hap: Well see though (Laughing out loud) Kirby
October 7, 200618 yr I'm really sorry about Skye Kirbs :hap: This sometimes happens when the other babies are so much bigger. Also sometimes the Mums have trouble finding the tiny ones to feed when the bigger ones get in there for all the food. It's very sad.
October 7, 200618 yr Author Thanks my freind They were all fed VERY well...and Skye's crop was huge... Not to much, but sstill enough like normal :hap: Plus she was simple flat like a pancake :hap: Anyways...im very happpy with 5 big babies lef over :hap: I WANT TO KEEP LUCKY THOUGH!!!! (Laughing out loud)... Well see though... Kirby
October 7, 200618 yr Go on! Keep Lucky! I have decided to keep 2 babies out of my first clutch of 4. Jellybean, our very first babe will be one of them! (Laughing out loud)! You just got to keep Lucky?????
October 7, 200618 yr Author HAHAHA well see! Im off camping for this long weekend. We leave in about an hour..sleep over, then come home tomrrow around 8pm. Ive put lots of food dishes, and water e.t.c. As the babies are just gettin sooo big! ALSO..i was CORRECT ABOUT GRACIES SEX!!! SHES A ADORABLE FEMALE!!!! And it looks like Lucky and Tweety are males ps- Heres one of the ads i put up for the budgies on a pet classified website... http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-pets-other-pets...0QQAdIdZ6812775 What do you think of it? Kirby Edited October 7, 200618 yr by Kirby
October 8, 200618 yr I think it's great Kirby! Wish I lived over near you, I would buy one myself!! I love the yellow-faces, they are my favourite!! Good luck selling them, I'm sure you wont have any trouble finding good homes for them.
October 8, 200618 yr I think you should keep one too Kirbs. I know it will fit nicely in your big cage!!! Is that your budgie in the ad? If so we need new pics!
October 9, 200618 yr Author Hey my feinds!!! So, ive been cmaping the pas 2 days which is why i wasnt here But ive got new news!!! So, the day we left, Lucky nor Tweety were bieng fed at all I was sooo sad! I tried the hand feeding mix Neither took to it (Tweety took 1 gulp and had enough) So, on the way to our capsite 45min away me and my mom planned creative ideas to make graves for them I felt sooo sick! BUT!!!!!! When i got home today...ALL 5 BABIES DOING AMAZING!!!!!!! Lucky is huge, same with others!!!! AND ABOUT THEIR COLOURS!!!... Lucky is a yellow face skyblue im pretty sure as under his tail is very bright (turquise)..also his stomach is the same colour.. then his lil face is yellow. Then, Tweety is a white face unlike what i though. His colour is very cobalt i think...and his face is white. THEN!!!!! Quincy (Last baby) has got NO COLOUR ON HIM!!!! Hes the youngest baby, and is 5 days old! Or maybe 4 i forget. So i think hes a white recessive pied maybe? NO COLOUR ANYWHERE!!!! Not on back, face, wings, ANYWHERE!!! Yet his eyes are dark Ill snap pics tomrrow when it is sunny...Grace is being blue normal but to young to see head colour..and baby Toby (4th baby) is dark aswell!!! So, Quinn is definately a whie based budgie REMEMBER HOW I WANTED A SURPRISE!!! I THINK I GOT ONE!!!! OR maybe he is a opaline? Who knows..time will tell! Kirby
October 9, 200618 yr Author Hey guys! So its now morning..and the babies have changed SO MUCH in the past 10 hours! :hap: (Laughing out loud) 1) Lucky is a yellow face skyblue i believe (as his colour is skyblue, and his tail feathers are the seagreen colour most skyblues have. I checked Kirby (the babies dad, and also my yellow face blue type II) and he does NOT have that coloured tailfeathers. So thats why im thinking hes a yellow face skyblue) 2) Tweety is a cobalt normal (as his tail feathers are a gorgeous cobalt colour, and also near his legs a brilliant cobalt colour is showing through) 3) Grace is looking to be a cobalt so far i think but shes still to young. 4) Toby is also looking to be either a yellow face blue, or a cobalt. But hes even jounger than Grace so Blink: (Laughing out loud) 5) QUIN IS A SURPRISE!!! Still VERY clear coloured! Shes 6 days old now...and not a single morsal of colour anywhere. She does have white down though (very little bit...but i think a normal amount still). Also, i noticed her cere is different from the others!!!! Hers looks like the colour of Chico and Ariel my recessive pieds! It also does NOT have any black on it. Unlike the other babies... So, does anyone know, or can anyone please post pictures or help me in any way if recessive pied babies get dark ceres? Or do they stay the orangy colour they are? Here are piccies!!!! Kirby and Belle the babies parents The sight im greated with whenever i enter the nest box Lucky-yellow face Him again Tweety- Cobalt normal Heres baby Grace, Toby, and Quin. See how pale Quin is? Toby is on her right, and hes only 1 day older. Yet see how dark he is, and how clear Quin is? Weirddd! Here they are again! So, what does Quin look like to you guys? Kirby Edited October 9, 200618 yr by Kirby
October 9, 200618 yr Umm...I'd say Quin looks ADORABLE!! :hap: Your other babies are looking great as well! Good job Kirb! And the parents of course Alora
