Congrats on doing well at the show!!

Thanks :budgiedance:

Now I have to find Ferris a nice boy to make some even nicer show budgie babies.

 

 

 

 

 

PS Pity Feathers' albino hen was in a breeder cage. She would have blitzed the competition and come home with prizes too

How SUPERB! Job well done to you Kaz

 

I agree... find a good male to breed her Search for only the best! (Laughing out loud)

She needs a good big boy so I may put her with Bleu. He is tall and long and stands straight on the perch.

Here is Bleu

He is gorgeous!

 

If you got a large male chick from that pairing you could breed him back to Ferris for some larger Greywings/Dilutes... I personally am not for linebreeding but in this case it may be very hard to find a quality bird any other way.

Congrats Kaz - She is a beauty Knew she'd do well.. And a new cage just the icing on the cake, Good things come to Good ppl....

 

I like boofy head budgies - I am looking for a girl for my 2 But none here.....

(Laughing out loud)......

I have changed my mind after looking at the boys....and she is in with Chopper

 

 

Chopper is a cinnamon skyblue spangle

 

He is gorgeous!

I shouldnt have to inbreed ( beside the fact that I dont like the relationships to be THAT close ) ......show breeders cull their dilutes as they arent a part of normal showing ( just rares ) and there are some greywings around. I will look for the future, but meantime she is with Chopper.

Ferris and Kaz congrats

What colour is chopper? -gorgeous-

 

I agree with you entirely, I was unaware that show quality greywings might not be that hard to find!

Thanks for sending me the link to this thread Kaz,

 

Upon seeing the picture of the bird you described I would have to say is was a Dilute. A heavily marked one but a Dilute none the less. If I was to test and make sure I would paired it to a Sky or Light Green this will then tell you if you had a Sky Grey, Cobalt Grey or Mauve Grey or though I would guess Cobalt Grey. I would use a known split Dilute as this would then only produce Dilutes and Normal/Dilutes. I would also pick Normals that have the distinctive black shell markings not the ones with the fuzzy markings. I believe this hen is already the fuzzy marking type.

 

What happened to this hen she had the most beautiful top end. I would have put her through my Clearwings if I had had her.

The hen died shortly before the nationals when rain got into my old aviaries and the birds got coccidiosis. I lost over 30 birds at that time until the meds kicked in.

That was a real shame. That was one awefully good looking Dilute.

She was. Bred my Mitchell and Torricelli who bred greywings but recently sold up all of their birds and broke up the breeding partnership due to other commitments.
