Here are some pics of the new bubs we got in October...I don't think they'll ever be properly trained, but I have to say that seeing the way the 3 of them are together is just too cute! Can anyone help identify what colours they are & if they're boys or girls?? Sorry some of the pictures are blurry, I was using my friends camera but didn't want to put the flash on in case I spooked them.

 

This is Lysander - he's the most determined to be "free" out of the 3 - his name means "liberator"! I think he's a boy.

 

This is Atlas - he's sweet. When they came out of quarantine (very recently) he is definitely the 1st of the 3 to take the most interest in seeing how the other birds play on me. He hasn't done too much approaching yet himself, but you can tell he's interested! (he is a boy..right?)

 

This is Roxy, who we think is a girl. She's just all-round sweet. If we had kept her alone I definitely think she would have been fully trained. She'll come pretty easily but is still more into being "one of the flock."

 

Here we have Roxy & Atlas in the wheel together. I actually had to take it out because I was finding the 3 of them would climb in it together & not want to budge!

 

"the trio"

 

i am budgie, hear me rawr

 

"what do you mean budgies only go chirp?!"

 

 

and one more...(i love this one!)

I was also wondering if anyone could tell me if our budgie Casper is male or female? We got this little one at the end of July & we've flip-flopped back & forth, so any final resolution would be appreciated! Once more I apologize for the poor lighting, and this really was the only picture that shows his/her cere, but hopefully someone can help.

 

 

 

Thanks, I hope you all enjoyed!

:dbb1:

all very cute :dbb1:

 

Flash doesn't bother them as I have noticed. It's a bit hard to see the ceres and colours in most of them but I think Lysander and Roxy are girls while Atlas is a boy. But better shots might tell a different story.

 

Casper looks cute but the shot is too dark to tell.

I just love the pics of the 3 of them together!!! Tooo cute!! Don't ya just love lil budgie tongues and the way they stick out when they open their beaks!! ha ha Just love them !!

they are so sweet

you have beautiful budgies .

Okay well it definitely looks like I'll have to get a few more pictures to get some answers! (Laughing out loud) Can anyone help me out with their colourings in the meantime? I know (at least think I "know") that Roxy is a blue & white dominant pied. I think that Lysander & Atlas are both YFII, and possibly opaline? If anyone could fill in the rest of the blanks - as there are quite a few! - that would be great, I'm hardly an expert!

 

Thanks!

They are all pretty and cute but I like Lysander the best (cool name).
