...of my budgie, Snowflake. (I haven't posted on this site for awhile, but you guys were so great in helping me determine what mutation he is.) Snowflake turned one-year-old on 11/25/06. He has become quite good friends with my p'let, Papi, and one of my lovies, Coconut. Coconut is the only one of my five lovies that I can trust around my non-lovie birds. Here is a picture of the two of them spending some time together (it's clickable).

 

 

I've also been meaning to ask, does the blue patch on the back of his head mean anything?

Oh, they look so sweet together.

 

I was going to say that the colour on the head meant opaline but I don't see the "V" of blue on the back. Let's see what the experts say. Such a pretty bird!!!!

Such a pretty bird and I love Coconut, wouldn't let my lovebirds get near anybody else but thank goodness there are exceptions to every rule!

He is very pretty. I remember him from when you got him.

 

The blue on the back of his head is because he's a spangle. Mine has it too.

Thanks, that explains it then.

 

Pheobe, I agree, lovebirds aren't usually birds that can be trusted w/ other birds. My other four aren't even allowed out at the same time as my budgie, p'let and two tiels. But Coconut is a little sweetie. Of course, he is only seven months old, so that could change in the future. In the meantime, however, he is supervised 100% of the time when he is around the other birds. I do hope it isn't something he'll grow out of though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Welcome back and they are gorgeous

Aw snowflake is gorgeous! love the name!
