January 27, 201114 yr Author My favourite logical reason was number two 2. It's either the budgie or a pony!
January 27, 201114 yr Author How old would she be? I think she's about 8 months going on irises, is that about right? Quarantine cage is all set up now and ready to go.
January 27, 201114 yr This is so exciting, Ratyz! Are your parents getting interested in the green tail genetics thing, like you are? (And like the rest of us are.)
January 27, 201114 yr Exciting is right! I can't wait to see how this turns out Ratzy! P.S. I like your 2nd logical reason too!
January 27, 201114 yr Author Thanks Kaz. No, Finnie, they haven't shown much interest even though I've tried to tell them multiple times how important it is . I even mentioned it in my logical reasons ( number 6 and 7 ) . Thank you Kassidy I haven't heard from you in ages!

I even mentioned it in my logical reasons ( number 6 and 7 ) . Thank you Kassidy I haven't heard from you in ages! My parents would probably do the same thing, so not surprising. When are you going to get the hen again? I forgot. P.S. Hehe! I've gotten so busy with the school year starting up again that I didn't have much time to be on the forums. School was out today because of the snow storm going on, so I actually had some free time. Edited January 27, 201114 yr by Kassidy
January 27, 201114 yr Author Hen is getting picked up Monday, we're going away for the weekend. I'm on Summer Holiday and I go back to school ( to high school *gulp* ) next Friday, I think.
January 27, 201114 yr Hen is getting picked up Monday, we're going away for the weekend. I'm on Summer Holiday and I go back to school ( to high school *gulp* ) next Friday, I think. Oh! I bet it's 10x more exciting for you, but I can't wait until you get that hen! When you were visiting the pet store, what condition was she in? (I saw the pictures, but was there anything else that seemed unhealthy about her?) P.S. Instead of going off topic here, I'll PM you soon. EDIT: I can't send a PM to you, I think your inbox might be full. Edited January 27, 201114 yr by Kassidy
January 27, 201114 yr Author She was in fairly good condition ( can't say that for another female budgie who has a very bad mite condition and has been obviously picked on ) , her nails were a bit long, but that's soon fixed. She has a pied spot, so I assume she's split rec pied.

She has a pied spot, so I assume she's split rec pied. Ooo! Pieds are a nice mutation, do you think this might effect the breeding results?
January 27, 201114 yr Author It's a recessive gene, and I don't think my birds are split for rec pied, so it will probably stay hidden.
January 27, 201114 yr It's a recessive gene, and I don't think my birds are split for rec pied, so it will probably stay hidden. True, true.
January 31, 201114 yr Does she have a leg ring? When you went back to get her, did you get the code off the other leg ring of the TCB cock? Did you forget to look?
January 31, 201114 yr 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 - Yo Dave, Nothing to worry about mate....the tail colour will moult off within 6 months.....sit back and enjoy the 20 bucks Q: Do you sell the birds you breed or keep them in your aviary?? Big $$$ in budgie breeding?

Big $$ in budgie breeding? What? Chubba Chubs is almost a year old and hasn't moulted them out. I did look at the ring, Dave, it was PH1 something, but they wouldn't let me hold it.
January 31, 201114 yr The number is not that important, the PH1 is the important bit. You need to try to find out who PH1 is. Do you know a ring register in your state? You are not in a club are you?
January 31, 201114 yr Any ring registers on here who can help find a bird rung in (what state?) with the code PH1? If you want to remain anonymous to the rest of us, send Ratzy a pm with the info
February 1, 201114 yr that tail looks normal for a sky blue bird do you really think theirs something to these birds i mean my yellow face birds that were born with white faces and molted out into really light lemon faces at 6 months was weirder than a green tail i was actually told to hang on to them but to secure a new mutation if at all it is one would take alot of breeding and recording of thigs pics extra razy sorry to be a non believer but i believe green tail or not theirs no possible way you could secure a mutation based on your age and fact that your Peronts only let you get a second bird so you did not annoy them for a pony or what not else you may desire so this meaning their would be no way of actually breeding up the number of birds required to follow this so call mystery through personally i think its quiet normal for the odd bird to grow a odd tail my cinnamon spangle has a cinnamon tail deep dark cinnamon not white at all she is not pied and only grew it in after two year of age its been white for two years intill last molt :} birds are funny why we love them so
February 1, 201114 yr Tail doesnt look green to me. Wheres some comparison shots of other skyblue budgies ?
