Posted October 9, 200618 yr QUIN IS A SURPRISE BABY!!! Shes 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 beak is different from the other babies who are yf blues and normal blues!!!! Her dad is a yellow face blue type II and her mom is a brilliant skyblue hen. :hap: They are both petstore baught, so i dont know their genetics Quins beak 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? Thanks guys! 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?

October 9, 200618 yr Author HOPEFULLY!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see! Shes soo cute! AND MY MOM SAID WE CAN KEEP ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! She wants and loves Tweety becuase Tweety loves her (sleeps on her, and doesnt cry with her, yet he cries when i hold him ). But were waiting for all the colours and personalities to coem in before we choose for sure yet :hap: Lucky is SUCH A TURQUISE colour though!!!!! Hes GORGEOUS!!! Honestly, ive never seen a budgie this neon...at such a young age! So we might keep him plus he loves me (Laughing out loud) Kirby
October 10, 200618 yr Keep one each. One for Mum and one for you. One for Mum to tame and one for your future breeding program. :hap:
October 10, 200618 yr :(Laughing out loud): it's a bit early to tell Kirby, and the youngest always looks to be taking FOREVER to get colour/feathers compaired to the rest. Does Quin have the little black dots showing? Lucky seems to be getting the same colouring as Cupid Edited October 10, 200618 yr by Nerwen
October 10, 200618 yr They look great Kirby. It will be cool if you get a surprise mutation out of the clutch. Awesome.
October 10, 200618 yr Author Thanks guys!!! YES WE ARE KEEPING 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to keep Lucky sooo badly! Hes soooo cute! And like i said before...his colour is SO NEON FLOURESCENT TURQUISE!!!! Its soo bright and brilliant! Also his yellow face is GLOWING yellow! So, *** be GORGEUOS!!! Tweety is for SURE a normal cobalt...very violet coloured, but i think cobalt as its a royal blue colour like Merlin Loveys birdy Grace is a skyblue aswell!!! Same colour as Lucky but with a white face! Im soo excited! So so far i have 1 yelow face skyblue, 1 cobalt normal, and 1 skyblue normal like mom About Quin though... NOT A SINGLE DARK MARK ON HER!!! None ANYWHERE!!! However...i just went to look at her, and i think shes a yellow pied as she looks like she has a few dark pin feathers visible on her wings! It makes sense though, and Kirby is a yellow face, so she can be a yellow pied. Also, those 2 dark spots are the only ones on her whole body! And her beak is still the same colour as Chico and Ariel (my other recessives)...and the other babies are very dark and blackish Kirby
October 11, 200618 yr well....I relly don't want to get your hopes up or anything....but..... that is how opalines look.... Edited October 11, 200618 yr by Nerwen
October 11, 200618 yr Author Hey! IVE GOT NEWS!!!! QUIN IS A PIED!!!!!!!!! Shes got 1 dark spot on her right wing...then another spot on her left wing!!!!!!!!!!!! ;wub: :hap: :hap: I hope shes a white pied! THATS THE KIND I LOVE!!!! I think if it is a white recessive pied ill keep him..even if its a girl. They are just so darn cute! Then ill keep a yf spangle from Oscar and Emmas clutch when they mate in April...as a mate for the baby (Laughing out loud). But she looks like shes got a yellow tinge So she will probably be a yellow face recessive pied like my Chico...which is cute, but if thats the case ill keep Lucky i think the yf skyblue normal Kirby
October 12, 200618 yr Author Do i have to? :hap: (Laughing out loud) Sure..as soon as i find the camera hook up... I want to show you my Lucky, and the colrous forming on him, Tweety and Grace :hap: Kirbs :hap:
October 12, 200618 yr As if we will complain about pictures of all of them :hap: I was just interested in seeing some close ups.
