Great shots Nerwen... I saw some simalar birds to these today..

Do you reckon mine are better?

 

But really Daz it was great to have your input today.

I enjoyed it.

Where's the Daz photos ?

 

 

The birds are looking very happy in their space Nerwen

:(Laughing out loud): I took these shots afterwards.

You have a lot of really beautiful birds, there, Nerwen.

 

 

Feathers.

They are gorgeous Nerwen, it is great to see your birds again.

I love your rainbow of color and mutations.

Great shots there Nerwen. I love your birds, very pretty. I especially like Minka. What does the melanistic part mean??

 

Hey Nerwen we need to start a topic with Members of Melanistic Spangles , your pics and Daz and I am sure they will become more popular. It can be added to the mutation PINNED topic that Bea did. What do you think?

 

Melanistic means that as they molt out the marking from the shoulders look normal but they gradually turn into spangle markings by the time they get to the tips of the wings (I believe that is correct).

 

Example of Daz's Melanistic Spangles

they are all beautiful. I love the spangles you got - their wing markings are awesome!!

Close Elly.

 

When the first feather up in the nest they have normal wing markings with the clear spangle tail (and maybe a head spot)

 

Then as they moult into their adult feathers the marking fade to almost the same as a normal spangle.

Those are some great photos.

Cheers guys. It is quite unusual markings - I hadn't seen it before. Very pretty!

 

Great to see your flock again! You've got beautiful budgies.

I really enjoyed your pics Jen! Thanks for sharing them.

Love them all, pretty, pretty colors but especially Tootie and Kree!
