Here are my baby budgies (about 4 weeks old now), can you say if they are males or females and maybe what colour they could be (if possible to say now)?

Thank you :budgiedance:

ewww how sweet ...

 

Mayo normal - need a better shot of the cere

Juli is an opaline - so this would make her a female - I love the marking on her wings.

Bambi - normal

 

These are guess, I know that someone will come on with more experience and probably give you a detailed description.

Thank you a lot anyway. I love Juli's colour too

They are so adorable. Juli is an opaline. The other 2 look normal colored at this stage. Their father is an opaline? If he is than Juli would be the only female. Juli looks violet (maybe) too.. but that could be my moniter.

:rip: i cant wait till i breed they look stunning!!therev soooo cute are you going to tame them all i love bambi he/she is so cute

So very cute:D It's great they way they are all happy to sit in your hand.

 

lovey is right with the colours, I think Myo is a sky blue while Bambi and Juli are cobalt blues. Julie is your only girl out of he group. The fact the others are not opaline means they are males.

Yes, the dad is opaline, I think Juli is going to be like him just a bit lighter.

 

:hap: i cant wait till i breed they look stunning!!therev soooo cute are you going to tame them all i love bambi he/she is so cute

 

I would like to tame them all a bit, but because they will live together, they propably woun't care about me so much

Bambi is cute - he is actually most friendly from all of them and is very loud !!!

Do they look happy on my hand ? They are still quite scared (Juli and Mayo are hiding anywhere they can and Bambi is trying to run/fly/jump away )

Cutsey Wutsey time again! The look so pretty and are quite happy in your hand, great!! :ygbudgie:

Two of my babies are out today (aged 4 weeks) and dont look like going back to the nest. They have fitted in well in the aviary population and are flying about from perch to perch quite well. Good luck with yours....cheers Karen

Are they the 2 who were crawling on Ken? The front one just knows who's gorgeous

They are very cute

 

 

I'm very happy - now Mayo jumped out and is sitting on the floor of the cage (can't really climb, because his toes and wings I think). He started to call for food and his naughty daddy (who's separated in cage under them) was FEEDING HIM throw the bars

I was so scared that he will attack them again :ausb:

You know I didn't even notice that in the pictures Now I can understand why I thought the tail was so long. Keep an eye on him now, you might have to bring him in any moment so he doesn't hurt himself out in the big cage. Is he getitng any flight feathers growing through? It kinda looks like it in the first picture.

I'm not sure which feathers are flight feathers. When he was 2days old his dad bit the ends away (not sure if you've seen the posts about this). Do you think I can open his wing carefully and take a photo? I don't want to hurt him. They are in a small cage now, I've put some perches lower, so he can try to sit on them when he's ready. But he is on the bottom and exploring. I'll just leave him there for a while, so he can see all the staff around and then I'll put him back to his box :ausb:

If you hold him and someone else takes the picture or vs versa you can take the picture. When I do Pretty's inspection to check over his feet, cut nails etc..he will let me spread out his wings and I do it very gently. If he resistance I don't do it. But I get a good shot of the flight feathers. You should also be able to see them crisscross in the back too as they start to grow out. I noticed the top comes in first and then the ones that fold close to the body are last (at least with him). He was clipped when I got him and that has been the pattern of his wings coming back in.

I'll try to take a photo if he lets me . He is the oldest one and the others have them, so I don't think they will grow later . But maybe he will be able to fly a bit.

I've taken closer pictures of Mayo's wings (he didn't let me to open them, he was pulling them back and I wasn't sure if I wouldn't hurt him). I hope you can see it better

 

I think here are some flight feathers, but not sure

You might be lucky and get flights on both wings.

Juli is an opaline - so this would make her a female - I love the marking on her wings.

 

???????

I thought both sexes could be opaline!? my friend has a male opaline

yes they can but males need two gene to be opaline while female only one. Juli here is female becuase one her dad has the gene to past one (one to each chick)

 

If both the mother and farther have opaline in there genes (either opaline themself or the dad carrying it) you will get an opaline males.
