what a FLUFFY head I can't get over it (Laughing out loud) she is gorgeous

 

I would say dominant pied I don't see anything else

Here's some more pictures of OPRAH....obviously not a spangle...dom pied YES.

 

 

She is fabulous!!!! How old is she?

 

I may be blasted here, but doesn't it seem like the most beautiful budgies end up being hens????

Oprah is 2 yrs old. Most of my gorgeous and pretty budgies are usually males :bluebudgie:

you were right Karen she is a spangle and I think opaline.

SO these are the start of the new stud?? Are you going to specialise in a certain mutation ie Dom Pied?

Very nice birds.

Magnus and Conan are nice- Conan looks to have grey on him??

Also the green Dom Pied boy 'unnamed' as he looks like my boy!! "Captain??"(from Phoebes list)

The name Oprah suits her perfectly!- is she Dom Pied, opaline spangle??

They are all lovely Bubbles. I want them all :bluebudgie:

Cindy

I see spangle and opaline in her as well as the dom pied. :bluebudgie:

 

She is gorgeous. :ausb:

I thought she was but her markings confused me a bit. :bluebudgie:

The beginnings of new things YES...hopefully I am choosing the right kind of birds for breeding what I want to. Dominant pied seems to be my preference, but I have no particular direction right now. I am open to good suggestions from those that know. Conan is an olive normal with the dark blue tail and purple cheek patches....I think they look a bit grey sometimes. I love MAGNUS :hap:

Yes you are right about OPRAH. I was with an experienced breeder earlier today and got some great tips. I came away with 7 more budgies too :ausb:

I love Oprah.. great name for her. Looking at all these great pics all the time is NOT helping me in my quest to not buy any more....

 

[stays strong]... for now...

All it takes is one budgie. That leads to the next budgie and then the next and then the next one after that. It keeps happening....it takes over....and next thing you know the budgies live in the house cos theres more room and you live in a shed in the back garden

 

 

So when we get dragged off by faceless men in white jackets do we get to go to a bird room?

:hap:

I don't remember seeing the back pics when I posted just dominant pied but maybe I didn't scroll down but I agree too with the spangle and opaline. MY is she something else.

The pictures of her back were added for clarification, so you didn't miss a trick Lovey

************************************************************************

 

Have seven new guys.....Daz told me to go and get some good "normals" for my breeding program. Here's a couple of of them

BRUTUS (named by Lovey)

and HOGAN (named for Hulk Hogan the wrestler)

 

Hogan is split to lacewing and funnily enough he has a lacewing bride already.

Here's another pied boy you all might like (his name is DANIEL or DANNY BOY after Cheetas husband Daniel )

OH so many GEORGEOUS budgies!!!!!!!! I want more now also, keep beggin my hubby to hurry up and build my avary but I just get a aha and a nod

why are they so addictive ...... better than being addicted to something that is bad for us I guess

Oh Karen, I showed Daniel 'his' budgie... and his reaction was.. hmmm I so do not see the resemblance!!! (Laughing out loud)

 

He's a cute boy though Danny Boy is.. I can so see myself marrying him.. hehehe

Hate to burst Daniel's bubble Cheeta but tell him budgies don't come in the red headed version

Oh good I was hoping I wasn't slacking in my old age .

They are gorgeous Karen!

Nice normals Karen :sad: I think you have some very good stock to start with.

Nice normals Karen I think you have some very good stock to start with.

Hope so, Jenni, I am flying by the seat of my pants here ( going by instinct ) :sad:

 

*** MAGNUS and OPRAH are bonding.

WOW! Stunning new additions Karen and the names just crack me up :sad:

I went to a ladys house the other day as she was selling all her birds (thinking to update the genes in my aviary) and i came away with NO BUDGIES which was a first for me.. they were all so dull looking and many seemed to have fatty lumps on their breast (under feather) and it was a huge turn off.. Although i came home with many of her other birds :(Laughing out loud): :rip:

We just can't help ourselves, can we ? I went to a show breeder quite prepared to spend some serious money a couple of weeks ago and he showed me some really rubbishy birds. I could have got better ones at a pet shop :sad:

Daniel and Sherrie are my favorites.. but you got so many pretty ones.

I am kind of curious about what some of the new budgies cost? All from the same breeder? Did certain colors set you back more than others? Or if some had better features? I'd assume they were more than the normal "pet" type. If you don't want to talk price that's understandable.. you got some gorgeous ones.

Most of the new birds cost me $20 each. One of the hens cost me $50 and Brutus cost me $10 .......one batch of birds from one breeder so they are in a quarantine cage together as they came form the same aviary. The others from another breeder and they also are in a separate quarantine cage together. :sad:

:sad: Danny Boy's coloring is just fantastic. And oh, about my propensity to suggest names, one of the girls at work is pregnant for the first time (special baby) and asked me for name suggestions for both boys and girls. Only problem is they had to start with either E or T!! (don't ask). It's been quite a challenge and eventually I had to break down and use the internet but she LIKES them.
