Is This A Mild Halfsider?

Featured Replies

Hi There,

 

I am new here and I thought I would ask a question that has been bugging me for some days now.

I have been breeding budgies since I was 12 years old and I have never had one like this before.

 

Is my baby budgie a mild halfsider?

 

Please visit the following site for photos.

"website gone - sorry:( "

 

She is a yellow faced, dominant banded pied with clear flights. The colours on her chest range from aquamarine though to a yellow band, then to sky blue down by the tail. She is very pretty and I have 3 of these babies, but this one is the only one with the different face markings.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking

Liv

Thanks. Its really interesting to know that about pieds. Thanks for letting me know its a boy! I always have trouble sexing them at this age.

liv :(

 

 

NO, not a halfsider. Your little BOY is a Yellowface skyblue dominant pied and a lot of dominant pieds are missing spots on one side of their face :P

No worries Liv.

Here also is an interesting topic we had with a halfsider. You may be interested. Extremely rare but there is one or two :(

What a lovely bird.

 

It's always wishful thinking to breed a rare bird like that. Maybe one day :(

Yes...they are a total freak of nature. Rarest thing ever happened to me was two budgie babies out of one egg.

Your little boy sure is a cute one....lovely little fellow :P Look forward to more photos :D
