December 20, 200618 yr Author Thank you ladies. Oh please excuse the mess in the first picture... I put Milo in there to take the photos.. I usuallykeep the box outdoor, so the dust and stuff had accumulated in there...
December 20, 200618 yr He is beautiful...I love red eyed budgies...Holly has converted me I love Milo's little yellow splodges, he looks like someone let their child paint him :budgiedance: sooo cute
December 20, 200618 yr What a cuteeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you clone him and send one my way! (Laughing out loud)
December 21, 200618 yr Cheeta he is gorgeous - congrats on your newest addition did he come from Karen's flock?
December 21, 200618 yr Author Thanks ladies. he's a cutie. He finally ate a bit today. I wasn't overly worried, but was glad to see that he helped himself to some seeds earlier. well I didn't see him eat, but there's husks in his food bowls and around his cage, so that's good. Lovey, no this one didn't come from Karen's flock. He's actually from a pet shop. I was surprise to see him there. They shocked me by actually telling me to quarantine the bird! thats a first for me from a pet shop... (Laughing out loud)
December 21, 200618 yr Well he is a cutie for sure!!! Need to get more of Karen's flock (writes a note to hide in hair more babies).
December 22, 200618 yr He is a cutie pie Cheeta Recessive pied fallow. On a side note - Chirpy it's great to see you around again1
December 22, 200618 yr Oh my gosh, look at those big red eyes! Just lovely! Edited December 22, 200618 yr by Chrysocome
December 22, 200618 yr Author Thanks Gals... Lovey... I didn't hide in hair, but I think I might be getting another one of Karen's baby. Nerwen.. Yes a recessive pied fallow.. mauve too. Bea, I'll swap him for Blink. hehehe... (I'm sure I can convince hubby that his present is going to a better home... (Laughing out loud) ) Here's just a photo I took of him earlier tonight. He seems to be settling great. I am torn as to whether or not I should trim his wings to tame him down a bit. He nailed me a nice one under my nail tonight... Oh any guesses as to it's a he or a she? looks different each day.. and even each photographs is different in tones of blue/purple. I think this picture represent the closest to what his/hers cere looks like during daytime. And here's a photo of his rump and his body colour hiding under those wing feathers.

December 22, 200618 yr not sure on the sex looks female but could be male??? :hap: Looks innocent uhmmm NO (Laughing out loud) is that after or before he nailed you Pretty coloring almost in the picture looks violet BUT in the first picture looks male.
December 23, 200618 yr I think male.. but not totally sure. Looks like there's gonna be alot more yellow when he's done molting.
December 23, 200618 yr Hi Cheeta, I was going to ask if he came from a Cannington store.. all their birds a little while ago had the colour Milo has on his tail. It came from the material they were using on the cage floors for a while. If it is the same store I am thinking of, that is where I got Melika from on Thursday (yeah yeah, got another one before christmas). I specifically wanted a female. I commented to the girl that it was a shame that another pied, similar to mine, but with violet patches, wasn't a female. The girl told me she was, "she has a pink nose" :ausb: They sell any with any pink as a girl and those with any blue as a boy. At least they give some sound advice about quarantining new birds then.

December 23, 200618 yr Author Feathers, yes Milo came from that expensive store.. hehehe.. They use that clay kitty litter for the bottom giving them all that red/brown colour... yes they gave me the quarantine advice too, but I wasn't going to ask her for the sexing advice... she didn't seems very happy with the fact that Milo nailed her good while getting him out of the cage.. hehehe.. I'll just wait and hope that he's a boy!!! :ausb:
