Do you know how to reduce your pictures to 450 on the maximum side? I think it would be better for people on dial up [like me] as it takes so long to download such big pictures. If you reduce your picture to the desired size then select under the picture at photobucket where it says “direct link” & copy & paste it where it says “insert image” above where you insert your message [two icons right of the smiley face]. Then you would get the picture you want in your message, without taking us to your whole file…I couldn’t tell from you pictures yet anyway what colour your chicks are, maybe a few more days & you could tell.

Photobucket has an edit feature for resizing. You choose the email/website size and then use the IMG code ( bottom line ) and directly paste that into your post :hap:

sorry too soon to tell you will know for sure around the three week mark. Dad looks to be green so you will only get blue birds if he is split for it.

pictures changed to links because they are over the board regulations of 450x450, make sure you resize your pictures before posting, instructions are in the budgie picture forum, thank you for understanding :D)

I just checked...your photos on photobucket have not been edited or resized.... select each photo and above the photo that then comes up is RESIZE. Select resize and select the email/website size...confirm the size. Then select the IMG link and post.

juliet

Looks good Juliet Oldest is a cobalt normal. Second pied cobalt, the last two should be green with the yellow in the wings. This means dad is carrying the blue gene.

hello all, this morning i got up to take the cover off the budgies and lo and behold baby number one,[3 weeks ] was looing out of the nest box hole, so cute, anywhay, the last two days hes been having a change in behavior, very shy and withdrawn, number 2 chick was the brat [biting] and sure a hen by attitude, started being so sweet, hmmm, anywhay i pulled the two oldest to hand feed out, [ill put them in with the pair for the night. at first]they are doing great in the brooder, and i made them a play gym in a rubbermaid tub with a ladder and toys, millet and pellets on floor, i put them in it while i made the first feeding, wow!!!!! the pied [hen] ate a green pellet and nibbled millet, the first boy just hid, well number one ate a little at first , number two ate like a pig, and was in a screeming feeding frenzie when mom and dad decided to fly over for a look, the look they gave me was like, [better you than me hahah] and flew back to the remaining babys. my number two chick is chewing paper towel and flapping, and preening hard, every shack she lets go a cloud of wax pin feather dust, the big boy is comming out of his shell now, hours later, but when i talk to them he comes to the front of the brooder and listens, and runs to cuddle my hand. they are so cool,

heres the latest pics, the youngest ones are yellow and green, oldest blue phases, wow, but the greenies, seem to have blue comming in by legs and lower body???? hmmm,

well here they are, bigger and funnier, thanks all

juliet

Good work Juliet sound like they are going to be great family members, either with yourself or others. Don't worry about the blue in the green ones, they are most likely dark greens which show the blue more than a the light greens.

they are looking great

well heres new pics, and my first night story, tired but having fun, i will post my bedding later or somewhere.

it was a long night, first one i didnt give the babies back to mom and dad, my oldest and third baby are shy and dont really like to play, though they were all handled the same, the littlest is so fun the one with the 2 yellow feathers on the back of his head, i hope a boy i want to keep him, the second pied [i think girl ]is fun too and plays , today six birds and i were threatened with being made into soup [to noisy] the dog was the only safe one, when im feeding babys dad comes to help and the screeming increases, if i dont let him come he screems, mom doesnt seem to care much, ive never hand fed babies when the parents were in the same room, what a racket, dad calls to them and they cry for food even if their full, and dad sits on their brooder or playpen and chirps, he is now finnaly being a tamer guy and landing on me or near to get to the kids, he landed first time on the ceiling fan and flapped and it moved, now its his favorite thing, haha, i dont know how long well be able to stay out of trouble with this noise, it doesnt bother me, but when jon is watching football, hmmmm, not good, i finnaly had to cover the parents so i could feed, and their getting ready again, i think im gonna have to sleep on the couch to, my alarm wakes jon up and he cant get back to sleep, well a small price for babies, for a short time, hehe, with the wood stove heat its 85 degrees in here we spend the winter in shorts, so i dont need to heat the babies, i just hope the blue[oldest, 18 days]tames more im alittle worried about him, i do though have a home for all three that i dont keep and one home is to be a freind for another budgie, hmmm, well got to feed again, its fun me and beaker filling em up hehe,

thanks for all the replies,

juliet
