I got a bit trigger happy yesterday between taking photos of my birds and Jake.

Gb these babies are from the sky violet, brother of your hen. the yellow spangle is

from a different nest. There are 4 of theirs in this nest and the other 2 are in another nest.

Looks like I have a nicely marked grey spangle in this lot, i think there are 2 spangles and 2 normals

 

Remember my sky cinnamon opaline hen with that crook eye, look at her now

 

 

 

 

Nest of six, parents Violet cock and sky hen. I think a strong nest, they have 5 chicks now.

This is the one that died today

You might get one yet of course later on. Have to see how they moultout remember. There is one with a spikey hair do and I find that is a good sign, but I am worried their look a bit narrow But it is only early days.

Rats! Greg had the bathroom vanity unit replaced the other day and his mate the plumber did the work and his payment is 1/2 dozen budgies. BUT wait a minute these budgies are mine and the house is Gregs , how does that work.

Anyway I told Steve I don't have any for a while but he is not in any hurry thank god. BUT I told Greg he has to pay me for them. so far i don't have any culls

Gorgeous birds Splat

Thanks Rachelm. I don't feel I have bred that cracker yet but at least most these babies will be handy for my breeding season next year.

 

More pics

new pair, real bad photo of both birds.

 

This is that sky violet spangle opaline cock Gb brother to your hen and proud father of 6

 

this is the brother of the violet I won the violet class at the shield with last year, he is the father of that very nice violet opaline spangle cock

that got 3rd in the violet class at the shield this year.

He looks funny because we cut the feathers in front of his eyes so he could see the hen, worked for 5 minutes then he went back doing it to the perch.

by way hun im not trying to hint at you for any birds

i really think this season can get you back where you were before you did your cull last year and realized woops i could of used them birds

 

but im sure when you have something from that line avalibal i will be interested in a look defenently

and depending what happens with my splat hens well i may have some return bloodlines from my stud to come your way out crossed and ready to use

after all i cant keep em all and i belive if i get goodins well birds oridginal breeder gets first offer then anybodys

its just my thing

but so far im not able to use my splat hen due to her little holiday

Yesyour right GB, I miss a lot of birds I parted with last year.

this is his nest but there are only 4 of his in there, the yellow spangle belongs to another nest

 

White df sp cock

Sky hen

Sky violet spangle hen

grey green cin sp hen

grey cock

to name a few But i have learnt from my mistakes.

But at the sametime If Ihadn't of lost some of my best birds earlier this year, I wouldn't missed so many.

But as I said I lost a few really good birds one in particular was the white DF spangle Hen that I won

with her and her brother (Champion Adult bird in show and the hen got Champion opposite sex in show.

Then she died 2 months later.

The old boy died earlier this year too. One of the yellow df spangle sons died too.

But it's all good now have bred some handy birds
