I just love the surprises you can get from breeding budgies...

I paired 2 reccessive pieds and popped out this bird......

That's what happened with my lutino cock, I got a grey wing and he was a ripper but I culled him off because I am not breeding them. I bought my lutino for my clearbodies and grey wing is out of teh question, sold the lutino cock last month and now I am sorry I did , you should see his daughter , very nice.

Thats exactly how i started my greywing family years ago Splat.

Yes I know Geoff went crook at me because he saw him and thought he was a beauty and little did I know that he had lined a buyer (another breeder) for him but I had already culled him to the pet shop. But at the time the hen he was with is a beauty , heaps of directional feather , every thing. size, feather, width.

I bred this light green hen, and didn't really know she was in the baby flight until she started breaking her cap....

Funny how they can change so much....

 

 

Yeah know what you mean, you put them in the aviary and forget about them and one day you are really focusing on what's in there and yep you see this bird just standing out from the crowd and you wonder,hmm where are you from you catch it up and check the ring number and go check and wow, that bird was going to be culled , and you say to yourself , gee glad I kept that bird. lol

This has happened to me and that bird has gone on to win best young bird in beginner at one show the only show I showed him at that year and he was in the run for the Diploma , if only he had of stayed on the perch lol He did go to the young bird shield and came 10th but his suffusion let him down and the best adult bird in beginners the following year at the shows I showed him at and also opposite sex to Champ bird in show.

So you can see how careful you need to be.

Looks like a nice hen there Twisted.
