Although this site does have a lot on information it is not all correct. The photos in the mutations topics contain photos that are not always photos of birds for that mutation topic. Beside lean2078 was asking about a book. One should always have books around as for some people they are more portable than a computer and they are always online.
March 5, 200916 yr If there is any incorrect or misleading information in any posts on mutations, please let one of the staff know and we can address it.
March 5, 200916 yr hey guys I am having a problem with the link to "ravengypsy's colour and mutation guide" I have tried to get it from the FAQ secion and he original post, it keeps coming up with a link to something else, was wondering if anybody else is having his problem?
March 6, 200916 yr Yep same with me..I mentioned it a while ago but it still doesn't work.me too. i haven't been able to access it for some time now. http://www.budgieplace.com/colorsguide.htmlI found this particular page to be very helpful... and it's FREE!!! LOL I'm sure you are looking for a book though that has alot more to offer, but in the mean time this is really helped me. Good luck.That is not a bad site actually. Terminology is a bit misleading in some cases but at least most of the mutation pictures are accurate. I agree that is why I mentioned this site... the pictures alone are very helpful even if I don't understand a word other wise... I've been able to identify alot of my birds just by looking at pictures of some of the birds on there and comparing them to my own birds.[/b] </b> We have heaps of information on BBC right here....no need to go to other sites Members budgie mutationshttp://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....showtopic=14564and here in our FAQ section.http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/faqs/i...=show&cat=6 I disagree Kaz.

KAZ, I know we like to keep as much traffic as possible on here and this site is wonderful all in itself, but other sites, books, and contacts that can be very helpful at times. They don't have to become a member of the other sites, but the public info on the main pages are just as helpful. If anything it helps raise questions to discuss on here if someone found information that they don't agree with or is contradicting to that of what we learn on here. That's what I do... I'm not a member, but I browse them... and if questions arise I ask on here. Edited March 6, 200916 yr by chrissy0705
