Hi I just wanted to know is Oushi a Show or pet type?

 

I thought this because she alot bigger than her siblings, Her father's, Father is a show type but not show standard.

In these photos she's 3 weeks old now she's 4 weeks old tomorrow.

She looks nice.

She looks like she is nice a big. i am not sure about show size, but she sure looks nice

Keep her and let her develop and see how she looks in 6 months, then you will know

there is some good genes in her parents.

Her name mean's bull;ox;Cow

Because she charges at you with her head down when she walks

Great name, very cute

She's a very nice budgie, I have had this where I have bred a show type and pet and one of the babies has been quite a bit larger than it's siblings, but definitely not show standard

If you breed a show and pet budgie you will get a mix and the babies can be bigger. . If she is up to show standard I don't think so but she is cute.

are they usually fully feathered at 4 weeks? i have a 7 week old who is now yet is sibling is still half feathered and half fluff?

At four weeks I find mine are nearly fully feathered with a bit of fluff still under the wings

I think it's a throwback or a half cast if you will ... Not full pet nor full show ..... As it relaxes as in picture 1 you will see the cap "blow" forward which some of my pets do as well ... But the head is a little wider and the mask a little longer then a normal pet .. That i can see in those pictures

So she's a half and half of each??

I dicied to put a few more pictures up as I'm cofused

 

Oushi in comparison to her older sibling Toshiro

If her father is a show type and her mother is a pet type then she is half/half. But at the end of the day unless you have rung her and are planning on showing her then I don't think it matters she is just a bigger then her sibblings.

I didnt want to show her I was just thinkng of maybe breeding her when she's older with a large male

 

and her father's father is a show bird but not show quality

I can't see any issues with this, I know of some breeders who have crossed show types with pet types to get markings or colors intheir birds and then tried to keep those marking and colours while increasing the size. If you wanted her offspring tobe show type/quality then get a good show quality cock who has a good size to him and that should be fine. At the end of the day I could put a ring on one of my pet types and put them in a show cage and show them, they would not win but I could if I wanted to.

:hap: So gotta do that with a wild type budgie AV

LOL yes would love to see the faces of people if you did that!

 

Anyway back on topic, alot of the "pretty" pied birds are small that is because they where crossed with smaller birds to get the marking and they have not been able to increase the size and keep the markings (as far as I know)
