February 24, 200718 yr Author First place by mutation ? Not sure what you mean. Every bird is entered in its category....i.e. grey green normal, green normal, dominant pied, and cinnamon grey normal. Also they are entered as a novice entry and not competing in, say, an open, intemediate or champion category. They would be competing with other novice entries. Is that what you meant ?
February 24, 200718 yr Sorry. Yes, that is what I meant. So can you specify what categories your budgies won in? If it isn't too much trouble. And if there are particular features about the birds that made them winners. It's very interesting.
February 24, 200718 yr Karen just to make it easy on us and harder on you if you can post the pics of your winners, what they won, and why like your breeding journal that would be great since you have so much spare time (all joking aside I am serious )
February 25, 200718 yr Author I posted photos of the winners in post #6 in this topic already You don't get to hear why they won...you would have to tackle a judge and quiz them for those answers and maybe it isn't correct etiquette to do so. Oh, I can't stand it! They are so adorable!!!!!! Congrats on placing so well in the show! Which birds did you enter? Sampson...a wellbred cinnamon grey boy.....1st entered as a cinnamon grey adult Dunstan....a well bred grey green normal ....2nd (as he wouldnt sit on the perch in the showcage) entered as a grey green young A yellow and green dominant pied boy (who's name escapes me) ......1st (everyone liked him) entered as a dominant pied adult and a normal green youngster named Lloyd......1st entered as a normal green young Edited February 25, 200718 yr by Bubbles
February 25, 200718 yr What a rowdy bunch of babies you have there Bubbles with Kamikaze as their ringleader. They, by themselves, must keep you really busy. Glad you liked the name Geronimo. :(Laughing out loud):

Two babies out at the crack of dawn today Phoebe........Kamikaze and Geronimo (great name by the way ) Yes they keep me very busy. I have to keep checking them and putting them back.
February 25, 200718 yr I would imagine they keep you in GREAT shape and you could do a marathon at a moment's notice.
February 25, 200718 yr Lots of good looking chicks I'm ending up with only one or two chicks lately , thay seem a handful Edited February 25, 200718 yr by Nodders
February 25, 200718 yr and this is the nest responsible for all the "bad behaviour" Surely you must be mistaken! How on earth could bubs that cute and adorable and innnocent-looking....ever be accused of "bad behavior"..... Surely not THEMMMMMMM.............
February 26, 200718 yr Your babies are just the cutest things.I love kamikase,she looks adorable,maybe she's trying to fly to brisbane to start my show budgie collection. (Laughing out loud) Loving the photos!!!!!

I guess I will try and ask some of the harder questions next time if I can pin the judge down. Some of the other breeders said what they liked about my birds. A few liked the dominant pied boy. I was advised to put his daughter (which I have also) to the cinnamon grey boy Sampson. Those two are romancing as we speak ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More babies. These are the babies in Amara ( violet ) and Clyde2's ( sky normal) nest Baby one (sky?) Baby two ( Sky? ) Baby three ( violet or cobalt ? ) Baby four (mauve ? ) Edited February 28, 200718 yr by Bubbles
February 28, 200718 yr I can't wait to see how that Cinnamon Grey Normal from that Beautiful Cin Grey turns out! Its going to be AMAZING!

I have to keep checking them and putting them back. I know this is a old post & someone may have said to you, your nest box is not deep enough ,or the hole is to close to the bottem.The hole in the nest box need to be at least, 100 mm from the bottem.I have icecream containers 2lt in the bottem of all my nest boxs.Makes for easy cleaning of the boxs. Another thing I noticed,you forgot the name of the dom pie that come second at the night show. :ausb:
