I visited a breeder todat and selected eight new birds. All around 5 to 6 months old and a long way from maturity. Have seen the parents and grandparents and am happy with what I have. Wiil see how they mature over the coming months.

 

Will get some better pics in a few weeks when they graduate to the aviary.

If you look at pages 130 and 135 of John Scobles book The Complete Book Of Budgerigars there are a several photos there of English Dominant Pieds. I first saw those photos back in about 1982 I have liked the Dom Pieds ever since.

Very Nice Derek, Was wondering when you were going to start filling that New Aviary of yours :

I'm with you on the Dominant Pied Derek,I'll have a pair shortly to start with,plus Violets.My aim is to have Yellowface Dom Pied for the future.

Put the new birds in the aviary today. Was easier to quarantine the couple of others that were already in there.

they are very beautiful, and a really nice cage you got too

okay I better tell about the cage. I got it off eBay, thanks to Kaz for letting me know it was there, for $5.51. It was brand new with the tag still attached.

 

Was 20 minutes drive from me.

He looks more like a mauve ( blue ) and not a grey in this photo Derek. Is his colour more of a blue grey like a steel blue ?

Kaz

 

I have been looking at these pics since I took them and yes they do seem to bring out the blue/mauve colors but looking at him in real life he is definitely a steel grey color.

 

Mind you he does have a mauve heritage.
