Those baby's look great kaz, i would definitely recommend possibly breeding the last budgie, in spring next year... as you said, the strength of the body color is very visible.

Kaz,

One and two look like those in between (bad) greywings at this stage. I would think that three and four are greywings and five ?????

Just adds strength to the 4th allele theory.

Cheers, PT

:D Thanks PT. These things happen when there arent too many greywings around to breed from :rip:

Yeah i can never seem to find any here either.... and not ONCE have i heard anything or seen anything to do with the TCB's... i would love to have one of those.

you all need to come to gippsland it is swarming with greywings and clearbodys ,fellows and black eyed clears

even got crest and no i havent forgotten to ask about thoughs gazz

show breed and large pet type both rung and un rung

i once got a violet red eyed bird that i still dont know what he was for a friend

he was marked like a rec pied but had red eyes very deep colour and black wings

beautiful bird 20 bucks bargon pitty she wouldnt sell it to me when she moved to perth

she sold all bird and told me after

not very nice friend when i think about it :D

when i told her i would pay anything for him and i ment anything never seen one since 3 years ago that was

some one scored big time probbly doesnt even know it he was club rung too should have got the ring number but didnt care bout them then

I would say THREE greywings and TWO dilutes.

Edited by KAZ

1 and 2 greywing spangles, 3&4 greywings & 5 most likely greywing.

 

So hen definitely is a dilute opaline spangle and the cock is most likely greywing/greywing. All babies greywing/dilute.

 

Clearwings are way lighter than this - even the heavily marked ones have less wing marking and much less obviously grey in the markings.

 

Top 2 have clear spangle tails and spangle wing markings but in grey. Also chick one has tell tale spanlge colour patch on rump.

 

Dilutes don't have the strength of body colour of these chicks and body colouring and wing colouring are much more alike (even, similar, same tones....) in a dilute than the distinct difference between wings/body of these chicks.

Lovely Greywings with great feather Kaz and so nice to see Lin's efforts put to some good use. I think you might be representing WA with these little guys.
