I am getting some cresteds and I want to get yellow face blues.

What should I use. I asked for a yellowface blue male crested and a normal blue crestbred what will that be.

CB,The chances of a Y/F crested might not be that easy to come by.

The crested birds are not in that big of supply.Be carefull when buying crest bred,there is no way of knowing if it is crest breed.If I was you I would,just buy a crested & mate it to a normal & breed your own.Then you know,what you are useing. Now there are crest birds & there are CREST BIRDS,Its not hard to breed crest birds.But it is hard to breed any with a bit of size about them.If you want to breed them the size of a finch. To buy one of any size,you would be looking at about $100.00.

Small ones perhaps $25.00.

Crested are not that common as Macka says.. We call them flat tops in the "Trade" not to be unkind but that is a common name for them. We have a crested breeder in our club and I hear it's not that easy to breed. Macka is right, if you can get a created and breed to a good normal and then take it from there.

I have a person in my local budgie club who is explaining all about the cresteds sinc that his the typoe he specializes in. I might be buying one of his good sized cresteds that is one of his show birds for $40

There is a budgie auction at Ballarat next Saturday,I see there is a crested cock & its brother that is crest breed.Might be worth a look.

when you buy one please post in Budgie Pics, we would love to see your new addition and you can even add to are rare mutation section under the pinned post under Budgie Mutations
