May 5, 201015 yr Author One sibling has been sold, but I can keep the others, though my brother gets one. It could be a mutation, or it could just moult out.
May 5, 201015 yr Faded is a mutation in budgie, but i don't know whether it have a green tail or not , i don't think i saw it in real before, but i think we are dealing with a mutation here, just keep the bird safe, and if the others are his siblings keep them as well, maybe they are split to it! Faded seems to be about body colour HERE >>>>>>> http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/rare/faded.html
May 7, 201015 yr Author I've never heard of the faded before. I don't think they are. What is wrong with pink legs.
May 23, 201014 yr What is wrong with pink legs. the wild color don't have a pink legs, the wild color have gray legs!I still believe its a mutation, and test mating is a must.
May 26, 201014 yr Author All of them have pink legs except for the father. Could it be rec pied going through the family? I think rec pieds have pink legs. I'm confused with my mauve chick as well. She has a navy blue tail with a few bands of lighter colour, hardly noticeable, and grey cheek patches.
May 26, 201014 yr How about some more pics of the mysterious green tail so we can see the progression?
May 27, 201014 yr Author I'll be right onto it! Taken just now. :yes: Some are a bit blurry. Some I used the flash and some are natural to show different lights. Oh, and yes he does have his wings clipped, but that doesn't matter because both Marigold and Skye have the same pattern, body colour through the flights. http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy62/Ratzy_2009/103.jpg http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy62/Ratzy_2009/104.jpg http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy62/Ratzy_2009/102.jpg Edited May 27, 201014 yr by KAZ pictures NOT edited to size before posting so changed to links
May 27, 201014 yr Why do you leave the couple of extra feathers when you do the wing clip ? Easier for them to get caught up and break and not necessary to clip in this way.
May 27, 201014 yr Why do you leave the couple of extra feathers when you do the wing clip ? Easier for them to get caught up and break and not necessary to clip in this way. Agreed. I cringe when I see that clipping style - I know for a fact the teach that style in veterinary schools as I know some vet students and they asked why I dont clip my birds that way. Lets just say I had some very convincing reasons they hadnt even heard about and their defense was "but it makes the wing look longer, more natural".

"but it makes the wing look longer, more natural" :) not clipped would make it look longer and more natural that clip just looks foolish and weird. and creates a way of getting caught up. Ratzy is this bird clipped because you are trying to tame it ? Edited May 28, 201014 yr by KAZ
May 28, 201014 yr Author No..... Dad got anxious because my cockatiel flew away and wanted to clip them. He was shown how to clip by someone who owns a budgie. I will tell him that.
May 29, 201014 yr It's been a long while since I've caught up on this forum but this has been exciting reading through this morning....very exciting indeed Ratzy. I think I read that they had started moulting...how far into it are they now?
May 30, 201014 yr Author Only just started I think.... I am starting to see pin feathers and a lot of downy feathers at the bottom of the cage.
June 19, 201014 yr Author Chubba Chubs has moulted his tail! I found some of the tail feathers when I cleaned the cage today. The new tail feathers are green!
August 15, 201014 yr Author hey to be the pessimist, but I will lay $20 that the tail will fall out it's first moult and it will grow a normal tail feather, ending all the speculation - :yes: Can I have my $20 now?

The law states that as an adult I am not allowed to enter into legally binding contracts or even bets with minors or children, so no, no money until you grow up. Sorry. :yes:

August 15, 201014 yr I'm shocked lol if i was dave i wouldnt pay till i saw evidance wheres the pics come on :yes:
August 15, 201014 yr Author Evidence it is! These pics were taken about 50 minutes ago. Notice the lack of the bars on the forehead? And some flights have grown back from his clip. That is how you can tell that I'm not just using an old picture. http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy62/Ratzy_2009/095.jpg Edited August 15, 201014 yr by KAZ
