okay so with my birds all on treatment im a tad board so i thought i may put up a few pics of the pairs i have planed for their recovery

 

here is a g&g breed bird , and a mp1 bred bird i was gifted by martin paoli to help me get on my feet

im quiet over the moon by his gesture

these pairs were chosen and paired prior to them being found to be ill so and all nests are blocked but birds remain in pairs

 

first of all

as im trying to breed some lacewings and im trying to breed cinnamons also

i decided on pairingthis pair up

 

 

 

 

she is really board and she comes from good breeding

martin chose her out of some hens he was keeping for his own breeding i feel very overwhelmed and believe my grey green boy has just the breeding to bring out her best as with her to bring out his best

 

he certainly has the face for her ...and both are holding a nice stance when sitting right

 

 

i belive this to be a really good choise

what are your opinions

 

out of this pair

i will achive anything from below list

 

cinnamon hens

cinnamon cocks

cinnamon cocks posably being split for lacewing and posably being split for opaline

opaline cinnamon hens and lacewing hens of normal or posably opaline

and cinnamon cocks not split to anything

 

is this corect

also im not sure what a light green and a grey green produce

is it just light green and grey greens ?????

this my first green to green pairing :doh:

 

i will pair these with an open box after vets okay ...on birds health

this is one pair i must say i cant wait to see out come from

Recently I borrowed a DVD from our library featuring a talk by Henry George, here's a couple of things he said that I found interesting -

 

He tried pairing Best to Best but found that didn't really give him the results he was hoping for.

 

So he tried the "Coffee pot to Tea pot" pairing and was happy with that principle. Basically he believes in pairing a nice Long cock bird to a strong solid hen (that's usually the way he does it he said).

 

He also pays a lot of attention to relationships. So he will select a hen and put her in a cage and then place all the suitably related cock birds in cages near her to compare. That way he can decide who she is best suited to.

 

He spends a lot of time with his selection of pairs. :doh:

 

This talk was given a few years ago so I'm not sure if he has changed his methods since then ....

well this is not really best to best pairing

but its best of what i have suited to him as you say

i have spent a long time in choosing suitable pairings its not something that i just take lightly

 

these are my first real pairings where i have placed a lot of thought into the breeding of certain birds and Ive actually planed a head a bit with their off spring

 

i have another light green cinnamon hen from martins breeding one i brought before he gave me the above hen

i brought two but decided only one was worth while breeding for show

 

i plan to pair her up with the same cock and to his half brother

and the above hen will also be paired to his half brother

 

this giving me 4 clutches of related by blood chicks to choose from for half brother to half sister breeding's if their quality marks the spot i believe they will

also some of these chicks will be placed with chicks from this next pairing i have also thought about and paired for sutibility

Some nice pairs.

 

You will not get cinnamon cocks from the first pair as hen is not cinnamon. All hens will be cinnamon. If the cock is split for opaline, you may get opaline chicks. Is he split for lacewing?

The one thing every one can do is breed champions

on paper,only if it was that easy.It will be interesting

GB,to see the results from your pairing.In this months

NSW budgie Mag, they have printed an interview with

Henery George.I have'nt read it so to speak,as it only come today.

the pairs look good it looks like you have spent sume time looking at them i am hopeing you get good babys out of them

I read it, but only briefly. It looks good and there is some good advice offered in there.

 

I will have to re-read it and look at posting some of the advice offered.

Some nice pairs.

dave this hen is cinnamon

she is a very nice deep cinnamon why i chose her to go in my lacewing breeding plan

'the cock is a lovely dark cinnamon as most of nubbly 5 cinnamon's that i have seen are dark

believe me shes cinnamon dave

oh and yes hes split lacewing

 

yes macka your right its easy to breed champions on paper but my birds are not expensive birds

i have just chosen on their aperiance to what i like

yes some come with lovely paper work but its a after thought usually with exeption of one or two birds which i brought on the line that they came from and even then its not a well known breeder

my birds are qwaint and i like it that way

if im to make it to the bench it will be with my own birds a few generations down trake when i have what i am aimming to achive , achived
