Periwinkle and Brenna have 5 babies available for sale on our sale page. Some hand fed and some parent raised.

Update: Since Buddy was molting when I gave the other pairs their nest boxes, I delayed giving one to this pair. And, once I did give them a box, it took Peridot almost a month to start laying eggs. So while the other pairs are almost ready to wean their chicks, Buddy and Peridot's eggs aren't even due to begin hatching until Nov 28. Their chicks will probably be ready to go to homes in mid to late January. |
Buddy and Peridot Buddy is an opaline violet English budgie split to lacewing, and Peridot is a dark green split to blue and dilute. I expect half green babies and half blue, and of course, since I found out Buddy was split to lacewing, I am hoping for some lacewing daughters. Hopefully a yellow one. In all my work with lacewings, I never did produce a bright yellow lacewing. In this pairing, all the daughters will be opaline, and none of the boys will be. So I will be able to tell boys from girls as soon as their down color comes in. (The opaline gene causes white down, whereas normal budgies have grey down.) |
