I was severely lacking in blue series birds in my aviary, so a previous arrangement meant a visit to a friendly club member to up the BLUE BLOOD in my aviary today. Blues are hard to come by right now, so you buy them when you can.

1. Violet opaline hen

 

2. Cinnamon Violet or mauve hen

 

3. Skyblue greywing hen and this one seems to be carrying violet also

 

4. YF dom pied sky violet cock youngster

 

5. YF dom pied sky violet clearflight? cock

 

6. Violet normal hen

 

7. YF sky violet dom pied cock clearflight? ( brother to no 5 )

 

8. YF opaline dom pied hen

 

9. violet dom pied hen

 

10. violet opaline greywing ? hen ( sister to my Ferris )

 

11. Dom pied skyblue greywing ? hen

 

Correct me if you think I am wrong. Anything blue here, if I see it as violet, believe me it is

Absolutely gorgeous birds, Kaz.

 

 

Feathers.

No 5 and 7 are my favorites but they are all so beautiful.Can't wait to see babies!!!!

Congratulations. They are very blue and very beautiful

All you have to do now Kaz,is to mate them to the right partner & could see some at the WA National next year.

Wow Karen.............what beaut birds.........did you get them all from the same breeder???

Congratulations Kaz they are all very beautiful

I remember a time when you had too much blue and needed more green

I bet that was before she got into exhibition budgies

 

 

Feathers.

yep, right when she started they told her she needed more greens I remember

Yes, Paul. The same breeder

Thats right, Macka. I have been learning a lot about pairings lately. You never stop learning with exhibition budgies, do you ?

 

Congratulations Kaz they are all very beautiful

I remember a time when you had too much blue and needed more green :budgiedance:

Yes...the difference was those blue ones I had were pet size budgies, not show size

congrats! Theyre so nice. You must really like violet..

yep, right when she started they told her she needed more greens I remember :budgiedance:

 

 

Why would they tell you that you needed more green? If you don't want green birds why have them?

lady, we all know you love the blue series!! :budgiedance:

the green I believe takes you back to the basic budgie, it is very favored in the show ring, along with strong points. I am sure there is more and Kaz or another shower will come and enhance my answer :budgiedance:.

They are so gorgeous. I love the yellow face ones. And the greywings are beautiful too. Heck! They all are.

I'm stealing number 5 :hap: He is a bueaty. Great birds yet again Kaz.

Yeah great birds, our local club is having a sale in just over a week, I hope to get as lucky as you & pick up some nice birds.

Nobody told anyone I needed more greens :hap: It just so happens that some people on here said I didnt have many green series birds awhile back. When I got into show budgies, it was said that the size and type of the bird was more important than colour and that is where all the green birds comes in. It is easier to get green series show type birds than blue.

Not exactly. Green being a dominant colour type....you end up with greens more easily when breeding show types. In show birds, it is all about size and type not colour as much. Getting the shape of the bird and its feather condition right is paramount over colour. There are just more green birds available to us than blue. Right now it is very hard to get blue series birds of a decent size in show type.
