Hi Guys, I am new here.

 

I have been keeping budgies since I was 8 years old with the exception of not keeping them for a period of 5 years. I used to keep cockatiels and Little Lorikeets too.

W have a green boy called Frodo who 8 months old (though not quite sure what you'd call him?) and today by chance I brought home a baby recessive pied, correct me if I am wrong. He is not named yet.

 

I am also a avid fish kepper/breeder though this year I decided to have a break and only my community tank with livebearers are breeding.

 

Here are some pics

Frodo - I need to get a photo of his back as his wing colour is more green then black markings.

 

 

New baby

Welcome to the forum.

 

Your pied looks very cute, however it is hard to tell if it is recessive or dominant at the moment. Though an early guess of recessive has my money.

 

Would love to see some better photos of Frodo.

Hello and welcome !

Nice healthy birds, a opaline green cock and yes your right, a cobalt ressive pied. Looks like a male ? A bit hard to tell from that shot.

Welcome

Nice birds....your green boy is an opaline green it looks like and your recessive pied looks cobalt recessive to me. I would say hen for the new chick.

 

Hope you enjoy yourself here....we do :)

I see that you have the new one in quarantine that is awesome , now the count down.

I agree with Kaz looks like a hen but not sure because of the shot and yes cobalt recessive pied.

The other one is beautiful and I am sure will enjoy his new friend

Welcome!!

your budgies are so beautiful

Hello and welcome! Your birds are very pretty :bluebudgie:

I have a soft spot for both Opaline's and pieds!!

I think Hen too... I know you were after a boy, but hens are just as lovely

Hi and welcome! your birds are gorgeous! and i agree with the others on mutations :bluebudgie:

Thanks for the welcome!

 

I will take some more photos later on today. I had a tame hen once upon a time, her name was Whisper. She was a crazy girl and very bossy! She would climb under my blanket and snuggle into my side and if I dared move I would get an angry bird and would be attacked :(Laughing out loud): Unfortunately she died at two years of age due to poisoning :bluebudgie:

Thanks for the welcome!

Sorry about your loss of Whisper... You birds are very cute by the way, expecially the young one.

:ygbudgie: Welcome to BBC, Frodo is very pretty as is your new noname sweetie whom I guess is in quarantine. This is a great forum, may I suggest you start with our FAQS, even if you have had budgies before, just like me, you can learn many new things. :bluebudgie:

Hi and welcome to you and your flock, you have two gorgeous little budgies there .

 

Sorry to hear about Whisper.
