Well Barney and Max are in Penny's old cage together and are covered.
I'm always nervous about budgies swapping cages.
They decided themselves, so hopefully it'll be ok.

ladybird I am trying to work out an exact age for Barney for my spreadsheet. From what I can see, he doesn't have white iris rings yet, they look quite dark. Do you know how old he was when the lady was given him in December?

They stayed in the exact same place that they went to sleep in. Apart from Poor Peter that has been chased out of his cage twice today already.. .. oh and Daisy that stays out of the way cos if he chases her she cannot keep up. Barney & Max play "book-ends" He's settled so well!

Marianne her daughter bought him from a pet shop in December and told her he was eight weeks old. We went down to see him in beginning of January and I could definitely see he was older ,he had just about lost all his baby bars. My guess is that he is about 15/ 16 months. He has a ring on I think? He was big then and in a small cage🥲

Is he chasing Peter because he wants to play do you think or because he likes George? Peter is after all another blue budgie and we know how much they like their friends to be the same colour as them...
Glad to hear him and Max got on well last night. Honestly they are so funny.

So strange cos I thought they got their white iris ring at about 8 months but he doesn't seem to have it yet.

Some of my boys took a year to get their light irises.

Buddy is 9 months and no signs of his. Barney has a ring on his leg doesn’t he Marianne? Not that you will be able to read it 😳😳 And Non recessive pied and Dark eyed clear never get IRIS RINGS. I have a feeling that the breeder told me Buddy wouldn’t get them. I will ask him……..

I have just asked breeder…..Buddy is a resssive Pied and his eyes will stay black. …….also Dark eyed clear buds will remain black. I have just sent him a pic of Barney ….he asked what colour his ring was ?

Here is what breeder said………….. Difficult to say, but he looks a very healthy cobalt cock, probably split recessive, hence no Iris…
