Hi All,

Just a few pics of my babies 1st outing to flight, other birds shut away so they could test their wings. These 7 first in kindy cage.

 

 

 

More Spangles to come. This one looks y.f. mauve? cinnamon opaline, so Dad's hiding Cinnamon as well Mum sky blue normal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some more lovely pied's in nest.

 

 

Last one is beautiful apple green, cinnamon. Her Mum was mother to long feather chicks last season. This one plus 2 still in nest look great.

Other two look identical at this stage.

 

Relly pleased with outcome so far.

They are stunning babies !! you should be very proud

Thank's Kaz,

i cant wait til mine have babies!

Thank's everybody, They are beautiful, all parent's did wonderful job, still are, some of them. Can't wait for a couple of Hulk's other pied's pics. Lovely strong colours be a few more days yet.

Just finished singing parent's praise, now this because Mum started laying again. We think. Left Dad to finish rearing chicks.

 

This is Aquariu's No 9.

circled area has been lifted under cere. Has bled again to-day through Dad feeding, but looking "as well as can be expected" at least it's feeding.

 

This is a prettier picture:

 

 

 

No 5 front.

Thats a darn shame After everything looked to be going so smoothly as well

 

I am in love with queenie's no.1

Thank's Maddy, just goes to show anything can go wrong at the drop of a hat. Bub seems to be coping o.k. am keeping a close eye on it. Dad's still feeding the chicks just fine so here's hoping they'll all be feeding themselves soon.

 

Yes Queenie's No 1. is lovely a beautiful soft green against her yellow head it very pretty. I have moved five out into aviary and they are all coping well, found food, water, green's and swings in no time.

Thought I'd add Hulk's No 4 here as well. He popped out of nest box "out of turn" maybe he's shy.

 

 

Hulk Junior.

There all gorgeous, well done.

I haven't seen a budgie color like queenie NO 1 before .............nice :question:

i have! :rofl:

 

my budgie alfalfa, is exactly the same, green with cinnamon

the cinnamon lightens the green to create an apple green colour ..nice!

 

but alfalfa moulted and it turned darker to a darkish green. you can see in my signature

Hi Alpaca boy,

I have three out of the same nest, all slightly different shade of green no 1 is the prettier of the three but as you say could change with a moult.

Hi All, thought I'd finish chick pics. ended with Aquarius no 4Now No 5and 6no78.No 9. has now totally recovered and in aviary.Now hulks'no 6no 7no 8 Will add rest later all are out in Aviary now but haven't taken later pics.adding rest of chicks so far.Pauline's.No 1no 2no 3no 4(really upset, lost this one transfering it from cage in shed to aviary.when startled it took off like an arrow, 1st flight. Haven't been able to locate.) ANOTHER LESSON LEARNT THE HARD WAY. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL I HOPE SOMEONE FOUND IT.No 5Have last one in kindy.No 6 very pale mauve cinn pied.(no picture yet) now Princess's No 1. (DAUGHTER OF QUEENIE) What else!!Won't add next 6 because they are all identical to no 1. :rofl: enjoy.

Very nice chicks :rofl: are you keeping them all ?

I'd love to Kaz but I think 50 is about my max. But how do you choose!! I'll be keeping my good breeders though. Hulk, Aquarius and a couple of little hens, they bred the beautiful bubs. can't build on so I'll have to choose soon or not breed anymore, as if!! :rofl:

:rofl: aww. They are all so cute. Can't wait to start breeding. I noticed your babies have different coloured leg bands on, are they club rings or something else?

Edited June 8, 201014 yr by rachelm

princess no. 1 and aquarius no.7 are cuties!!

 

what colour is aquarius no.7 looks violet

 

i love princess no.1's shade of green, belissimo! :rofl:

Hi Alpaca-boy, No's 5.6 & 7 are various shades of mauve? violet? whatever, very pretty soft colours. The camera dosen't pick up true colour in aviary. I suppose they will change at their 3mths moult. Princess's no 1-3 are still same shade of apple green.

aww. They are all so cute. Can't wait to start breeding. I noticed your babies have different coloured leg bands on, are they club rings or something else?

No Rachelm, just pet shop split rings, so I could colour code nests so I don't pair up siblings or parent-chick etc. Also to know which pair had which chicks, to see what parents are split for. When I get it all worked out. l.o.l.

Thats an excellent way of visually knowing who's related. What age do you put the rings on?

Sorry Rachelm, I just got back to your query. I put them on from 3-5 days depending on chick, but being split you can ring them at any age I'd say. You get a little tool with rings to help with ringing. :rofl:
