September 28, 201014 yr Author We were away for a couple of days through the weekend and we arrived home to Princess Parrot babies..........two last night when we checked and two this morning. Two more eggs look to be fertile and one ( a foster egg ) isnt.....dead in shell looks like. We have two other Princess Parrot pairs on eggs, plus canaries ( 3 nests ) and gouldian finches on eggs.

September 28, 201014 yr Beautiful Princess parrots Kaz I just love the yellow ones, aren't their babies so different from budgie chicks . The canaries are they Glostershire (border fancy) canaries, Greg use to breed them until last year.

September 28, 201014 yr They look like they are with the little hair do. When control breeding them you are ment to put one with the crest to one with no crest, I only learnt that because i use to help Greg with his. I love them because they are cute. But I don't like crested budgies though

I love them because they are cute.But I don't like crested budgies though Ours are in an open aviary so they choose their own partners. We have had many a crest to crest breeding. Some hatch with double crests...one on top of the head and one on the back of the head
September 28, 201014 yr Yeh I think they come in full circles, halve circle and I don't know what else
September 29, 201014 yr Author New arrivals............we now have 7 baby princess parrots. 5 in one nest and 2 in another
September 30, 201014 yr Author 8 Princess Babies now and two of them will be yellows Like this as two babies have red eyes. Edited September 30, 201014 yr by KAZ
September 30, 201014 yr Author Awwww, I want one! The yellow ones are very expensive, but the greens and blues are less so. One of the easiest parrots to tame. They seem naturally bonded to humans. One tame one in an aviary and the others watch and become tame too. We have greens and blues breeding too. Minimum space for a Princess would be a 3 by 3 metre aviary.
September 30, 201014 yr Author Photos of the dad in the nest feeding his babies. Smokey is a very good dad and he will do the majority of the feeding. 5 babies in this nest last time I counted them
October 9, 201014 yr Author Baby Princesses are growing fast this hen ( Velcro's other half we call BLUTACK ) is sitting on six eggs This is the nest of a yellow cock and green split yellow hen New babies today to "BABY"
October 9, 201014 yr My Mum, would be so jealous she's had a pair of Princess Parrots for 18 months and are showing no signs of even being bonded
October 9, 201014 yr Author My Mum, would be so jealous she's had a pair of Princess Parrots for 18 months and are showing no signs of even being bonded Is she sure of their sexes ? How old are they ? and what kind of space do they have ?
October 10, 201014 yr My Mum, would be so jealous she's had a pair of Princess Parrots for 18 months and are showing no signs of even being bonded Is she sure of their sexes ? The Male has Blue on his back and Tail the Female is Green with no Blue, he also sings How old are they ?18 months plus and what kind of space do they have ?The Avairy is 4ft x 4ft

At the age of 2 and a half a male will get whats called SPATULES on the end of a flight feather......like this The Avairy is 4ft x 4ft Way too small for a Princess parrot and you have two in that space Its not different size-wise to putting a pair of budgies in a cage 12 inches by 12 inches. 18 months plus Females sometimes breed younger than 18 months ...some males take longer to mature. I think you need to be more sure of their sexes and you need a much larger space. For your Mum to expect breeding when sexes arent determined and the space they are in is cramped and not suitable for a pair of princesses is expecting way too much Edited October 10, 201014 yr by KAZ
