Hello all

 

I am going to post my budgie pairs that I am going to put in breeding cages and I will update when eggs/babies come.

 

Pair 1

Grunt

 

Sumo

 

 

These 2 have bonded together very well. Im taking a guess and saying sumo is a cobalt normal and grunt is a grey normal.

 

Pair 2

Lemon

 

Lime

 

Im going to guess that lime is a light green normal and that lemon is a light green spangle? Or yellowface...

Also, is lime moulting? I can see pin feathers sticking out at the top of his head, if he is molting I will not put a nesting box in their.

 

Pair 3:

Blooper and muggs.

 

I am guessing that blooper (female) is a light green spangle.. and that muggs is a light green opaline. I couldnt getvery good pictures with this pair because they are extremley flighty and even if I walk past both of them fly straight into the nesting box. I added the nesting box in with this pair 5 days ago so I guess I will wait and see.

 

Blooper and muggs added on friday the 1st of August

Nesting box added to blooper and muggs breeding cage on the 4th of August.

 

Lime and Lemon added on the 4th of August.

 

Grunt and sumo added on the 1st of august.

Nesting box will hopefully be added tomorow or Monday.

 

Thanks for viewing.

Blooper is a light green OPALINE spangle,

Did I get the other birds mutations right?

 

THanks very much for the replies.

They look good Pearce, yes you were right about the other Mutations. Good luck with your breeding. It looks like Lime is pretty well nearly finished his moult to me.

I look forward to your results of these pairs :fear

blooper and lemon are opaline spangles

Pie your on the ball,

Hello all

 

Thanks very much for all the nice replies.

 

Is their any way I can get budgie identification rings without joining a budgie club? I have called and emailed 3 budgie clubs and have not received a single reply, it was one week ago.

 

Thanks

There are split plastic rings and split aluminium rings available at most good bird suppliers. However you need to join a budgie club for your personal rings and to have the correct rings and be able to show your birds in the future. If thats what you want.

I doubt I will ever show my birds I just have them for personal enjoyment. All I really need is a ring with a number on it so I can write the number and the birds name and type in a book. I will check some stores tomorow.

 

THanks very much

For that purpose, you could just use split rings. They have numbers on them... say from 1 to 8 and they come in lots of clours. You could change colours each year. I use the metal split rings so I can tell the difference between different clutches. In my last clutch, all 5 bubs were identical so I used them to tell the difference between the babies. Just remember to ask for budgie sized ones

Thanks very much

 

Maisie, did you get yours from a budgie club or somewhere else?

Thanks very much

Nope, just the pet shop/produce store.

I think blue is a skybue normal budgie. I think sunny could be a yellow face grey cinnamon or dilute maybe... Her yellow is mixed through all the grey on her body and she has brownish wings. Can anyone confirm what type she is?

He is 2 years old and she is 3.

 

THanks all

PHOTOS MASSIVE please remember to resize before posting so we do not have to turn them into links

I have a hen the same as Sunny and I was told that she was a Yellowface Type 2 Grey Cinnamon.

 

Unfortunately mine turned out to be an egg smasher. I hope you have more luck with yours

Edited August 13, 200816 yr by Denise

yep sky blue cock and yellowface type 2 grey cinnamon

Hen is also opaline

 

Your hen is older than the cock. Hen is 3 years and cock is 2.

 

Nice birds
