I just went and had a look in one of my boxes and i am now a grandmother. How cool is that. It's out of two of my aussie budgies(i think) it's their second nest( the first was destroyed). I didn't even know that she had been sitting this long. It is sooooooooo cool. I wonder what color it will be. i am so excited

very cool

are you colony breeding is that how the first nest was destroyed?

Hi. i was colony breeding to begin with, but that was just because i didn't have anythink else set up. But now i have all my english breeders in their seperate boxes, which only leave some spare boys, 08 birds, 2 pairs of normals,a grey english pair with 3 eggs and still laying (gonna have to find them a box to) and four cockateils. Plus i think i may have found the problem bird. She had one egg then it got destroyed, the i thought she was egg bound, but i wasn't sure so i just kept putting off taking her out and then she laid and i fostered the egg under another hen, which now has 6 eggs, four lutino X green ( her own), a grey X grey peid(out of the aviary), and the ressesiveX green and hopefully i'll get some more of her before she destroys them. I'm gonna try to post some pics of mum, dad and babe. Can i have some suggestions as to what the color might be?

babe photo's aren't very good. sorry, it doesn't look like much more than a pink blob. I only took these photo's today so they're fresh.

 

the first 2 pictures - I removed because they were oversized and you couldn't see anything, and the 3rd picture I turned into a link because it was oversized

Those first two photos are pretty fuzzy....perhaps try again later.

Why do you call your show type budgies "english" ? There are no english budgies in Australia

. Can i have some suggestions as to what the color might be?

 

 

They will be just beautiful looking at mum and dad!

why do people call bay horses brown?or red dogs blue? It's just what is. Just like a koala isn't a bear but its a koala bear

 

well it's sounds better then big budgies and show budgies is to hob nobby, especially for me as a beginner. But all of that is something we can differ about in a post another time. Right now i'm to excited to start a debate. I HAVE A BABY BUDGIE and its one pink blob of cuteness!!

Since Dad is a YF sky violet spangle and mum seems to be a YF type 2 sky dom pied, you are likely to get quite a belnd of spangles, dom pied, dom pied spangles etc. YF and DF yellowface maybe too. A good pair to put together for a variety.
