Hey there guys!.....its just me again (Kirby..(Laughing out loud)).

 

I was wondering if you guy couild please tell me what colours my beautiful babies are??? I breed Chico myself...4 years ago, and his parents are the ones that are sittong on my old red cuttain rod (sadly they died last year within 3 months of eachother...5 and 7 years old.) The other pics are just several of my budgies (Kirby yellow headed blue, Belle skyblue, Ariel white pied, Chico yellow pied).

 

So here you guys go....and as you can see i have gorgeous babies!!..2 males and 2 females..but none breeding so far

Thx, Kirby :ygbudgie: :nest:

 

As you can see, Chico's left wing is not normal. Its been like that since birth, and has never healed. It does not cause him any trouble though...i call it his lucky wing! (like finding Nemo with Nemos messed up fin....ps-i am setting up a saltwater fish tank and im getting clownfish!!!....im sooooo excited....plus im going to build an aviary in the spring at my cottage, then bring it back to my house, set it up, then put my babies in it during the summer!!!...its going to be dividable so i can have American budgies on one side, and the breeding pair of English budgies on the other side!~!~!~!~!~!..(Laughing out loud)..cant wait!)

 

Thx guys...bye

My guesses are your white hen is a recessive pied, the wing markings look brown so I'll add cinnamon to that.

The yellowfaced blue male is just that, a type 1 yellowface blue.

The whiteface blue hen is just that.

The other pied male is probably a type 2 yellowface blue recessive pied. Check both of your pieds for the presence of a visible iris ring. If the eye looks baby black or even plum colored, they are recessive. If there is a visible iris ring they are dominant pieds instead.

 

They are all very pretty birds.

 

 

I will change these to links also as the photos are above size restrictions for the site. Please try to keep them below 450 x 450 or the images will just be removed in the future.

Wow your birds are gorgeous! ....Goodluck with your marine tank...I have a saltwater tank...about 80 gallons...I love it...lots of work but well worth it!

They're all gorgeous!! But in particular I am in love with your yellow face blue recessive pied! Too cute

WOW!!!..(Laughing out loud)..thanks for all of the great support guys!!!....

 

No, none of them have iris rings yet (neither pieds do..and Chico is 4, Ariel is 18 months i think...i knew the were reccsive, but i just dont know what mutations they were as you guys said yourself..their all so0o0o unique...except Belle...(Laughing out loud)

 

Yea..im excited to start my reef tank Bec..(Laughing out loud)..cant wait to add clwonfish!

 

Ps-as you all know, that my babies (adults which i call my babies) are in breeding condition other then new Belle, what is the best way to seduce them into breeding? I was thinking of putting Ariel, Chico, and BElle in my brothers room (hes at collage to be a pilot)..and to leave Kirby alone for a while to become lonely. Then add Ariel so he get soo0o0 happy with her that they breed....is that a good idea???..the thing is though that BElle is already in my spare cage to try and tame her.....so id have to put Chico, and Ariel with her for now..and then restart btaming her once i put the other guys in the other room. The other thing is that the two guys love eachother, and the two girls love eachother!!...so thats why i dunno if anything will work?!?!?!?!..wat do you guys think????....im building an aviary in spring to put them in every spring and summer, then they come in during winter....so should i just tame Belle now, then add Kirby into the aviary first...then Ariel so they hit it off by themselves for a while outside, then once they pair up add the others???....

 

Last but not least, how do i tell how big my pics are before i post them here from photobucket????....anyone?

 

Thx in advance!!!

Beautiful birds. I love the white cinnamon pied. I don't think that leaving one alone to become lonely before breeding would be a good idea. Probably the best way to get started would be to learn as much as you possibly can.. and be sure that the potential parents are in tip top condition, healthy and being offered as nutritious a diet as possible.

 

Pictures posted here can be no larger than 450 by 450 pixels. If you have editing software you can resize them before hand,

Sounds like you are wanting to coleny breed, which many on here don't like, but it is up to the person to see which one is better for them.

This might be helpful to read: http://www.budgiebreeders.asn.au/breeding.php

 

or there my be something in the faq. It works better to leave the hen then add the male to her rather than the other way around, wellcactually not sure if 'works better' that is just how it is done. But really I wouldn't worry about the same sex couples, they form like that when young in the wild but easily breake off when the breeding season comes. As to waiting what is more important to you the taming of Belle or trying to get little fluff balls?

Ths guys for all of the input!!!...it was useful!

 

The thing is, that i bet i know more then 80% of people who actually breed their birds..(Laughing out loud)....sorry if that sound mean, but i know the ups and downs that go along with breeding, as many of you know, i started breeding my budgies when i was 8!!!...

 

I guess that i do want to colony breed...which is why im building the aviary in spring with my dad ...however im only going to if i know that the parents will be 100% healthy, strong, willing to mate, and overall happy!...Im not one to MAKE them..or force them into anything...however there are times that i do want to force them into becoming parents since they get so0o0o cute and i cant wait to get babies one day!!...(Laughing out loud)

 

As Nerwen put it..i can either sacrafice Belle becoming tame...for now....

as to MAYBE getting babies!!!..(Laughing out loud)...so i dunno what to do...(Laughing out loud)! I think im going to just tame Belle for now..then add Ariel in the aviry first...the add Kirby after her..according to you Nerwen..(Laughing out loud)...ps-thx for site...its good!

 

So, i gtg now, but thankx again for the advice, and i hope you understand my position even more now..(Laughing out loud)...bye guys!
