Sold To Me As Dark Eyed Clear....

Featured Replies

Thought you might like to see some of my BES's. I had one cock for a while and bred cinnamon splits from him and then in 2008 bred 1 BES hen. In 2009 I bought a hen that came 5th at the 2008 Nats along with a couple cocks and since they have bred really well and I now have over 20 of the suckers.

 

2 from this year are looking very promising from the whole 1 pair that I put down to breed. So here they are for your viewing pleasure!

This fellow is just starting to moult and is a bit wet as he was getting some show box training (when the ping pong balls alone don't work I put water under them!!!!!)

And this is his full sister from the following round.

So Linda, there ARE plenty to choose from! And also if she is carrying cinnamon (you could test mate her to a cinnamon cock to find out) then pairing her to greywing would mean the cocks would all be split cinnamon but you could keep the hens as they would not be carrying cinnamon.

True, might test her with a cinnamon and see what comes up.... Some very nice birds there and it's good to see some others ^_^

BUMP BUMP

 

 

Wanted to bump this, due to the recent interest in dilutes and suffused budgies.

 

 

Sadly, the original pictures of the bird in question are gone, but if you skip to the end, Nubbly has some good examples of Black Eyed Selfs.
