Custard and Pudding have 7 babies in a nest. Some are their babies and some are adopted.

I will get more piks tomorrow, but here is one I took today....Looks like Custard, but where Custard is grey this one is pale blue. Has lemony yellow colouring throughout, cinnamon wings, Yellowface, is opaline, and it has a pale blue chest. So I am guessing it is Yellowface, cinnamon, opaline, cobalt dominant pied. Am I right ?

 

 

 

I will take pictures of the others tomorrow.

How gorgeous!!! I just love the grey and the yellow together. Too cute

Ooohhhhh my little Custard...... if it's a cinnamon, then it's a she. :rip: what a cute girl!! I can't really tell the wing colour from my monitor, it looks fairly dark here.

A little girl...good We can call her BIH after her "aunty" :rip: It was dark in the birdroom when I took the pictures, but her wing markings are cinnamon with pale blue through the top of them and creamy yellow flights .

 

 

OH...I nearly forgot...we might have a DF dom pied as the youngest baby

Sorry I didnt get the photos I was going to do today. I was out on a work site fitting leadlight windows and it was dark when I got home.

However here is one of Custard and Puddings other babies that is taking after Pudding

BELIEVE IT OR NOT !! Custard and Pudding now have 10 babies in their care !!

They had three of their own and raised 3 others from newly hatched. Makes 6. The other day some new parents rasing 4 babies stopped feeding their babies at around 2-3 weeks. I started supplement feeding them but put 3 of them them in Custard and Puddings nest with the 7 others for warmth in between feeds. Within a day Custard and Pudding were feeding the new 3 babies as well.

As some of the older babies were near to fledging they spend the day on the breeder cage floor and the youngest ones in the nest. The older ones are grazing for seed already, so it looks like it will work out. I can still supplement feed any that need it. Custard and Pudding look good and not stressed and they are getting good food treats as well.

Here is Custard and Puddings three own babies

Ahh, I just love that photo.. I love the way they all squish right up the back of the nestbox

 

 

Feathers.

AWWW Look at all the wee little ones all squished in together.. thats precious

I love Custard Kaz...I've been meaning to say for some time & sounds like he's a good feeder too. I must try & breed one like him.

Custard and pudding are the greatest!!!!!!!!I love their own babies.

They look all so snuggly and warm in the nest box.

Sooooooooo cute

WOW!! They are super parents!! :(Laughing out loud): Look at that crowded nest! All the babies are gorgeous.

They are terrific parents and I will treat them like gold. I love Custards colouring too I hope for one like him one day. But they both get a long holiday after this round of breeding.

Ten babies in the care of Custard and Pudding...5 in the nest and 5 out. And what do you think Pudding has done ? She had a glint in her eye, has been chasing Pudding for budgie bonks and has laid an egg in the nest amongst 5 chicks.

Little Tart !! Well, she wont be going for round 3 of baby making I can tell you. I have given her egg to another hen. If she lays anymore, they will be given away too. I hope the chicks are out of the nest soonish or I may have to remove Pudding to another cage.

Oh my goodness

Oh my goodness,what a tart,but what a terrific budgie mum she is.
