Posted October 28, 201014 yr Some of my new bubs. These 8 are from same nest. These 4 are from another nest not yet fully fledged. Pet bird's only but I'm very pleased with them so far.
October 28, 201014 yr What a fantastic range of beautiful babies you have there !!!! I would be proud to see them flying in my aviary
October 28, 201014 yr Wow yes I got into your post have been trying for a while and internet keeps shutting me down. They are gorgeous chicks Robin
October 28, 201014 yr Author Thank's everyone, really strong colours from first nest Dad is a Gr Normal/Blue. (I think) and no 5 chick ( picture 7) is a clone of Mum. Edited October 28, 201014 yr by robyn
October 30, 201014 yr once again robyn your chicks look amazing! i cant remmeber when i think it was the start of this year or end of last year you had a post on your babies and they ALL looked fantastic that time, and again they look amazing your chicks are always so vibrant! congratulations! and well done! just a question robyn, when you pick your pairs.. do you look for anything in particular to match? maybe thats your secret! cant wait to see more, im assuming you have some more to come right? From alpaca-boy PS: love the look on this chick... posing for the camera its wing markings are so clear and defined, i want that in my birds when i start breeding!
October 30, 201014 yr Author Thank you Pride, I've got some lovely pied's this year. Alpaca B. , I managed to get a few (6) show stock birds, 1 was lost from aviary, 1 died, 2 had long feather gene chicks,1 Aquarius had hormone problem (has 6 eggs again now) , 1 Is Mum to last 4 chicks.in post she is sky -blue spangle.( plus she is fostering 2) What I have been trying is pairing my small pet type birds with the larger show stock birds. I bought Hulk (Dad of first 8) at a pet shop. I think he is show stock and he has bred the beautiful chicks in first pics. His mate is only a small hen, but they make beautiful babies!! So I am going now on the past chicks each has bred, to give me a guide as to what each is split for etc. I'm hopeless at the genetic thing, so I'm just having fun trying to improve my birds colours etc. p.s. have 8 others nearly out of kindy. + 12 eggs so far from 2 box's.

October 31, 201014 yr ahhh thats what you do! wow robyn! thats your secret, ive never heard of anyone doing that before... your a pioneeer! thats interesting, well you have definately acheived good colour if thats what you were hoping for! very vibrant budgies, lovely colours and you are right your pids are looking great! cant wait to see more pictures!
November 5, 201014 yr Oh my they are just so beautiful, what wonderful colours Edited November 17, 201014 yr by **KAZ**
November 16, 201014 yr Author Adding another nest of chicks, unfortunately I could not keep all so sold ones that were very similar only "keeping one of a kind" so I have a variety in my birds.
November 16, 201014 yr oooh thanks for the pictures!!! you know i love em robyn ! there is some really nice colours in this lot robyn !! i like the first picture with the light but very vibrant green! well done! i see what you mean by selling of "doubles", variety is good
November 16, 201014 yr Author Update pics of previous chicks. (second nest chicks) front and back. I think these should be clearflight NOT clearwing. Just trying to decide their mutations. The bird on RIGHT of picture is DAD. Mum is skyblue opaline spangle.(not shown) P.S. MUM IS SKYBLUE AT BACK OF picture 3. Edited November 16, 201014 yr by robyn
November 17, 201014 yr Lovely chicks you have there Dont get confused between clearwings and clearflights

The bird on RIGHT of picture is DAD. Mum is skyblue opaline spangle.(not shown) P.S. MUM IS SKYBLUE AT BACK OF picture 3. dads a dom pied as is son son is spangle dom pied clear flights only have just that clear flights the secondary's will be fully coloured in a clear flight if their not dom their composite pieds
November 17, 201014 yr i just love this on robyn !! nice clear markings and a cute face, and great colour too! and isnt this one a clearflight GB are clearflights allowed to have clear patches on their chest i understand that it means they have no colour on flight feathers but can clearflight pieds have pied on chest?
November 17, 201014 yr well with all the combination's of pieds these days anythings possible but this bird has a band across chest of the right diameter of a dom pied clear-flight or dutch pieds as i know them have white bellow chest then small part under tail and around onto back( of colour) and small patch of colour under chin but banding is really not their its more white chest with colour under chin or full body colour with just clear long flights not secondary's and small patch on head these are def dom pieds not clear flights or as i said composition pies a combination of the three pieds rec dom and clearflight Genetics of Clearflight Pied Summary: Clearflight Pied - dominant Normal - recessive The inheritance pattern of clearflight pied is the same as dominant pied. However, clearflight pied is unrelated to either dominant pied or recessive pied, and a budgie can have any combination of the three pieds at the same time. There are only two alleles for clearflight pied: the normal gene and the clearflight pied gene. The clearflight pied gene is completely dominant to the recessive normal gene. This means that a single-factor clearflight pied looks the same as the double-factor clearflight pied. Here, we will represent the clearflight pied gene as "P" and the normal gene as "p". Therefore there are three possible genetic combinations for any budgie: * pp - Two normal genes (homozygous) resulting in a normal budgie. * Pp - One clearflight pied gene and one normal gene (heterozygous) resulting in a visually clearflight pied budgie that is single-factor. * PP - Two clearflight pied genes (homozygous) resulting in a visually clearflight pied budgie that is double-factor. As you can see, it only takes one clearflight pied gene for a budgie to display the clearflight pied traits. This makes this is an easy variety to breed. Below are some punnet square examples of pairings.

November 17, 201014 yr Author Thanks A.B & G.B, G.B. thanks for your info. have copied first bit for future ref. REST IS SO FAR OVER MY HEAD ....... don't know when I'll get it sorted. BUT these 4 are keepers for sure. Love the pieds. Lovely chicks you have there Dont get confused between clearwings and clearflights Thank's Kaz but don't worry I can get confused between anything..I keep reading over "stuff" but it's the grey matter that has the trouble. They are really lovely! Gorgeous colours. Thank you Dellouisa, as mine are pet types I'm not trying to breed anything in particular, just some lovely birds to have in aviary.
November 18, 201014 yr well dont worry robyn as your doing a good job of that... your birds are fantastic.
November 19, 201014 yr Author Thank you a.b. glad you like them, waiting on new chicks feathering, up looks like more "Aussie's" on the way (green & gold pieds) 7 chicks in nest. Aquarius's are not old enough to tell yet but has 7 chicks also.
