I thought I would post pictures of the little baby here as not many people really saw him in the previous topic.

He is a cute little fella, he is a yellow series double factor spangle cinnamon. I initially thought he was a girl, because he was born with purple eyes and thus he is a cinnamon. But he has a very pink cere. This can only mean one thing, that Saffy is a cinnamon in disguise!!!!. Upon looking at the DIC babies 2 out of the 3 were cinnamons, so this is highly likely. Either the baby isn't actually a cinnamon and I got it wrong (which I don't think so as his eyes seem to be quite plumb when the light shines on them), or Emmett is a double factor cinnamon (his wing markings are lighter than black and appear brown, but I don't think so) or Saffy is actually a hidden cinnamon and Emmett is carrying cinnamon (Saffy being a DF spangle this is possible and Emmett looks like he carries cinnamon) Although, one would wonder why she didn't have more cinnamon babies in her previous clutches. One also wonders why she had only one whiteface, so I guess that doesn't really matter.

Anyway the baby is a little darling and I especially love it when he poofs up his little head. He lets me give him skritches which is absolutely adorable and he falls asleep in my jumper and then tries to eat my finger.

He has a small amount of green and blue suffusion coming through on his tummy and his butt. He is such a bright yellow too even brighter than his dad's yellow. So he is going to be very bright when his adult plumage comes in.

Saffy is looking absolutely gorgeous too. I never realised how light her yellow was (like banana milkshake) until the little baby was born. Her new feathers coming in have given her an almost white belly, making her look more like a yellowface type2 than a yellow series bird.

She is hugely active and is sweet as.

 

 

 

 

Saffy!!

:ygbudgie: Very cute, much the likeness of one of the budgies I am currently birdsitting for a couple of months.

AWWWW a very cute little baby!

Well e had his maiden flight last night. It was very cute. I love watching them when they have their first flight. They fly so slowly and just hover, trying to figure out what to do and their little cheeks puff up. hehe, so cute. He's such a little darling, I'm hoping that my brother will take him, so that I will be able to continue to see him as he grows up.

Gorgeous little baby. :sad:

Oh he is adorable!! Love the fluffy white butt shot!! :sad:
