A Very Blonde Question

Featured Replies

Posted

Heya ,

 

okay I am thinking that this will happen to me the best Blonde question asked here ....

 

With the English ( show Budgies) the feathers that around their mouths are they meant to be bushy too....

 

I noticed today that Prince's feathers are 1/2 covering his beak because they are long. Is this normal.

 

He his feeding both himself, Gypsy and their foster child fine and doesn't seem to be affecting him ... Also Snowman 1/2 English ( if you can actually have that ) Albino Cock he is the same but only slight ..

Neat,

 

it doesn't worry them at all. :P The exhibition budgies have a bushier and longer mask than their smaller pet type cousins.

What are the other differences between pet and show budgies, besides size?

Interesting.....is there any way to breed for show birds? Or do they just pop up unexpectedly here and there?

No, they are breed/bread ? :P Anyway yes you can only breed show types together and not with pet types :P

Thats actually incorrect. Show type will breed with pet types and vice versa...the size makes no difference.

You have to have a pair of show type and size birds to get show type and size chicks

I know that you can breed them together what I meant was if you want to get better show birds it would be best to breed them with OTHERR show birds :P

Of course :D :hap:

Show birds, as a rule, are tamer because we handle them more.

Above is a link to view a crested Show budgie you will see the difference Both in Size and Feathers and Mask spots ...

 

 

Thanks for the visual, Neat: Yes, I see what you all are saying now. Pouffy 'doo' (I'm sure there is a much more technical term for this!) and gorgeous feathers
