Hi! i am Kaite, I don't currently have any budgies but my budgie will be a week old on friday! Heres a little background info! I am really into birds, especially mutations of them! I currently have six, 3 Zebra finches by the name of Lux, Lolita, and their daughter Tahny, And 3 Cockatiels by the names of Meanboy, Singerboy, and Wendy. I have had birds for about four years now, so i am pretty experienced because i want to be. Most people want an animal and get one unknowing what to do or have not done any research... Other then birds i have Four ferrets named Coda, Tubesock, Stiv Bators, and Hagrid. As well as two rabbits named Frank and Mimzy. I Can post pictures if wanted and asked So as i was saying in the beginning, My budgie is about 5 days old today. He is being parent raised and the parents are budgies that are owned by my neighbor who has 4 babies in the nest and four eggs to go!!! I will be getting pictures of the parents as well soon, hopefully..so i can get some mutation questions answered I am pretty sure that the father is a blue based normal/ressesive pied and may have some violet in his background. The mother confuses me as she has very light markings on her back but is not spangled, i am pretty sure she is a diluted cinnamon! She is blue based as well and is a type two yellow face

Cockatiels are not very tricky a pearl cockatiel will have nice bright yellow dots on their backs, which is the opaline of cockatiels! However, the opaline ONLY stays on females, males will lose their pearls as they get older. I was just told that my female of two years is now a male, and i can see why to.. she is a male pearl which is why she has the pearl tail feather and no pearls.. I am so dissapointed Thank you!! I am about to post a thread with pictures of the parents for baby colors confirmations

I'm curious too about that, as what Mick said is true. Do you let them have out time at different times during the day? Edit: Welcome Katie and gang! Great pics! More please!
