Two New Budgies!?!?!

Posted March 19, 200718 yr

Hey all Hope you had a good St. Pattys day. :wine :beer: Well i thought i was done an even dozen birds, but nooo :blink: I just had to come across these two beauties and after a checkup (as well with a clean bill of health (no pun intended Ha!)from the breeders) Numbers 13 and 14 found there way in to my flock. Heres Hurley what i believe to be a male goldenface olive green with possible mauve as well hes quite odd colored?? and Houdini Frostilicus whos a male violet opaline with grey wing....I know the names a bit haughty but my finace named him Frostilicus (some odd off Simpsons refrence) and I insisted he be called Houdini as he is what promped the checkups when he learned how to escape from his cage more than once!! so forgive all my chatter heres the photos... oh and as usual since im kinda new to the budgie game I appreciate all input especially on genetics and mutations as one day I hope to breed.

Hurley

Hurley reading me the riot act so this was the last picture i took as he just came home today see the odd colors?

H.f (houdini frostilicus)trying to hide in the wrong color camo.....

Hmmm mabey this blanket is my color??

I'm not giving up!! (the flash is making him look a little lighter than he really is is true color is more like the neck area)

My own personal remote guarding attack budgie

With his new gal Moxie hes kind of a ham and let me take a bunch of shots of him..

Heres a great one my fiance' Christine got earlier today, Sing to me!! (dont mind the crappy looking ceiling in the backround the cages were on a high table momentarily while I was vaccuuming underneath...)

This is how Pixel sleeps every night what a weird bird!

I've allways wondered what mutation my Jack is i got him from a pet store about a year ago so no chance on finding the parents i was thinking yellowface 2 dom pied opaline with possible greywing and i only say greywing because of the grey sideburns and suggestions?

and another of Jack..

And ones last of Moe and Sumo who seemed to pair off this week too (must be spring time as almost everyone was solo in my avairy till bout 2 weeks ago and now i have 6 couples (gulps!)and ill be keeping an eye on them too!
