Photos of pebbles will be coming soon in the next 7 days

 

Ella looks a lot like charlie i think but Ellas female charlie and ella are pet shop birds i have tried taming them but they are way to timid so i am just taming pebbles now i need to focus on my tense charlies dead i keep on posting about him as if he were still alive

Just got photos of Pebbles i thought it would take longer

 

Pebbles does not like photos she kept biting me.

i said in an earlier post we have an aviary for our birds now but pebbles is in a smaller cage in my room i am saving up for something more wide at the moment:) and i want to get her a friend so she does not get bored when i go to school

Sorry about the bad quality photos you might not be able to see it but she has all green and yellow on her stomach which makes her pied i found that out this morning when my grandad told me he said i should get another male bird like charlie so then i can breed them i think it would make some nice babies. my camera is really bad cause its automatic flash which makes everything really bright and annoying so i can take her to the darkest place but she will still look really light coloured.

 

PEBBLES-

 

 

 

 

thats all the photos hope you enjoy.

look closely at her tail and chest and you might notice some yellow or green markings

Cute birds Amanda. I especially love Pebbles.

pictures are good

 

Pebbles isn't a pied bird she is a yellowface type 2 normal.

 

A friend is a nice idea but keep in mind budgie will bond better with each other than with you. If you want pebbles to be best friends with you a friend might not suit your situation.

i still think pebbles is pied you just cant see in the photos the yellow and green is so light you cant see it in the photos shes going through her first moult thats why she has all green feathers coming through on her chest once she finishes her moult i will get some more pictures.

 

look in the last picture you can SEE all the light spots on her chest

I know what you are trying to describe but I see no other signs on pied on her, I can't see any clear feathers on her wings or a pied spot on her head.

 

It is hard to get the change of feathers with this gene to show correctly in pictures but below are some of my yellow face type 2 birds (well a few shots of two, dad and son)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what they looked like before their first moults:

 

This gene only blocks part of the yellow factors of the feather and will continue to show more yellow as the bird ages.

 

 

to help here is a recessive pied:

 

and Dominant pied:

the third picture looks like pebbles your right mine is a yellow faced type two

it is a wonderful mutation to watch develop.

 

Over time you will see more green feathers, that picture was just after his first moult - the first picture is of the same bird later on.

 

 

Ella is a sky blue normal.

okay thanks pebbles brother is just like the first bird he has already moulted but his green/yellow feathers are scattered all oer his chest when i got pebbles my friend thought i was going to have a purple bird because its cheeks had ppurple on them but they moulted out and have turned greeen
