Thanks heap, the other possible mates were ollive green spangle, and a skyblue spangle, i quess anything is possible, and yes the harquin is a resessive pied,the grandmother was a green opaline, i cant find any pictures, i took the babies out today, i think they are more of a dark red as it is hard to tell, but are getting so much cuter:lol:

If grandmother was a green opaline, then the grandfather father was NOT the grey budgie you first showed us because you cannot get a spangle out of two non spangle parents.

 

 

I think the real grandfather was the skyblue spangle.

Yes i decided to cage breed due to the fact it easier to control and have a set up of nine cabinets one with my cockatiels,one my java sparrows, one the budgies, another pair im pairing up but not breeding yet, a pair of zebra finches and the rest spare. thanks for helping with identify this confusing white baby as i was so suprised that it came out white, i checked my grey baby today and its tail pin feathers are coming through blue, i think its another spangle . Ill post more pictures as they get more feathers, soon they can join the others in my aviary until next year when they can breed for themselves and not with each other this time^_^ .

I havent updated in a while but here's some pictures of the babies from today.

not very good image quality though.

Just read through the topic for the first time.

 

Learning from mistakes I find is the best way to learn.

But take everything that is being said on board birdlover, it is what I did, and though it may seem like everyone is picking your ways to bits...it helps in the long run

 

What Kaz means by suffusion is the blue you are seeing on his belly. So if the df yellow spangle has olive green on its stomach, than that is suffusion

 

I'm going to take a guess and say that the df yellow spangle is a girl as well...I see a bit of white there.

But the pictures are badly lit so I could be wrong

Try and take some in natural lighting with no flash from the camera

 

Also, don't mistake biting for signs of females. They don't all do that, especially at such a young age.

Sorry for late reply been very busy starting to build a birdroom, I believe the df yellow spangle is a female and same as the skyblue spangle both have joined there parents in my free flight. I noe the biting doesnt necessary mean female but most of my yellow babies have all been very mean biters from when they are in nest. The df white spangle appears to be a male i've called him Urie , Thanks for all your help have a few pairs that are now 12 monthes and appear to be coming in a breeding season so il see how we go

Can anybody give me a tip, on how colours could appear as i want, such as how do i get a baby lutino???

PLZ i love the one up there, unfortunately, my hen died when it laid its 2nd eggs:(

I got that baby as my spangle male and a lutino female produced what is known as a df spangle not a lutino baby, from what I know to get a lutino one of the parents has to be split lutino, The mother lutino i got neither parents were lutino but one must have been split, for me it was just by chance hope that helped
