Hi Vinayv92 The scruffy chest feathers tells me the bird is not to healthy , I would have a vet look at this bird urgently How old is the bird ? It looks like a Blue Pied Pallid , But the Pied part could also be a resault of the bird not beeing well.(PBFD or Kidney disorder)If kidney is the problem ...

Mad Max

Thanks Peter
The 2 pictures are of a Male Dark grey and a Female SA Deep

I notice some red on the wings of Peters Red Head Greygreen as well , Nice going Peter .

Mad Max

Thanks Peter
I hope we will have more answers than questions after the breeding season ,(That will only lead to more questions as I am sure you well aware of)

Peter I hope you can help us out here

Trabots

As far as a DF SA Deep being bred , I know Peter has bred them , In the green and blue series and I am almost sure Tienie also has them (I stand to be corrected)

Regards
Robert

Mad Max

Johan/Ben/Tienie/Peter/Midas I agree with the statement that Johan has made , Why dont we just accept the SA Deep for what it is and give it a name . I have no problem with writers of books on our birds saying "We now have more information on **** mutation and can now say XYZ , It is better tha...

Mad Max

Thanks for clearing the deep issue up for me , I live in South Africa so I think mine would be the SA Deep

Regards
Robert

Mad Max

Johan , Nice birds , Do you have any in the green series ?

Robert

Mad Max

Hi Leigh For your aunts pairs I would put 1) Lutino X Lutino (Breed Lutino young) 2)Grey X Blue (Breed Grey and Blue young) 3)Green X Green (Breed Green young) . This way all the young are clean birds with no splits. EG Lutino for a Turquoise or 2 Greens for a different colour ETC . She could then s...

Mad Max

It certainly looks Edged . I love the blue , nice and soft blue with white . I want one

Mad Max

Stunning birds Tienie
The blue looks edged or am I wrong
Robert

Mad Max

Thanks I now have 21 eggs from 6 pairs with 1 pair laying 5 eggs , I have candled the eggs that are 7 -10 days old and have found that the first pair that went down only has 1 fertile egg out of the 4 she layed (not a good indication) but the weather was still a bit cold so I think that had somethin...

Mad Max

I agree , but why are his birds flight feathers so dark .Stunning bird

Mad Max

Hi Newbie I have seen similar behaviour at a friends place , This was a wild bird and he had also lost his balance . He was struggeling to fly when we where near the cage , But when we moved away he seened fine . I think it is a stress related issue , It took the bird months to return to his normal ...

Mad Max

The angle you took the pic at is not very clear , you need to take a pic of the birds tail directly from behind , That will help with the Id . when you look at the bird in direct sunlight you will know it is violet green (It will have a blue wash over the green feathers) my guess is its a violet gre...

Mad Max

The time has come for all our plans that we have made leading into our breeding season to be realised . Every day after work I rush home to see who will be next . The first pairs have now started laying eggs , I have a hen with 4 eggs candled and all are firtile , 18 to go . Another hen with 2 eggs ...

Mad Max

I agree with Ricio

The tail looks like it has dye on it.

It might be bleech or peroxide that is involved here .

But it looks good , we might have a new fasion trend in the making (change after every moult

)

Mad Max

Hi pizzaguru

I think you should let them be . I dont think they will breed but If they want to breed let them .
I have had pairs mating in summer and nothing came of it .

Robert

Mad Max

Hi ush2611 Yes this would be a good match , here is what you can expect from that pair 1,0 Violet turquoiseBlue x 0,1 cleartail Violet D blue Cocks 1,0 6.25% blue /cleartail 1,0 6.25% D blue /cleartail 1,0 6.25% D turquoiseBlue /cleartail 1,0 6.25% turquoiseBlue /cleartail 1,0 12.5% Violet blue /cle...

Mad Max

If I were you I would look at the nest box. I.E : How deep is the box ? Are you providing the Female with a climbing post or is she jumping to get out of the nest ? (This could also hurt the young , "spread legs" Is she skittish when you go near her ? (Flys into the box when you get near o...

Mad Max

Hi All

I have been hunting the net trying to find out how long it takes from a positive mating to the first egg being layed .

Anybody know ?

Mad Max

It depends what you want to breed out of the birds. If you want to breed Violets then the DF Violet would be my option. DF violet Blue with a Blue partner will give you 100% Violet Blue Babys. If you want to breed the dark factor then the cobalt Violet would be my option . In saying that I would sti...

Mad Max

Peter

I like your idea , He is a 2012 bird so I dont think he will be ready this year . We will talk about it after the breeding season if works for you .

Mad Max

I think it would be a bad decision to pair the above as I will still not prove the Hens other SL splits.
Back to the drawing board

but I would still like to see the photos of Pied Ino's if anyone has any .

Mad Max

Guys Thanks for The response .I was thinking in the same lines as Johan was thinking I have a Pied Green / Ino/?Blue Cock and a Ino Blue hen (I need to test the hen as she may have other splits in her , and I also need to test the Cock for the split Blue) so I thought to put them together and see wh...

Mad Max

Hi Ziggy Have you tried to let a child go near the bird . I would put a table near the bird and let a child or even a few kids sit and play or colour for a few hours without them interacting with the bird . I will keep doing this for a few days NB: dont let the bird stress out too much , Once the bi...

Mad Max

Hi

Has anybody got pics of a Pied Ino Blue or Green ?

Mad Max

Hi Thanks Johan

I work during the week and will only have time over the weekend , but I will take you up on the offer this weekend

Mad Max

I forgot to add that the guy I bought the turquoise grey from said it could be a split cinnamon if it was a male. I have not had it sexed yet so I dont know .
hope this helps you
Robert

Mad Max

I have a turquoise grey SL edged that displays in the same way going from light grey to a dirty white (depending on the sun position)
I dont have many edges in my collection and I have not looked at the tail , I will check as soon as I have a chance and give feed back then

Robert

Mad Max

I would also like to see the two together so I can compare them .

Thanks for the information

Mad Max

Hello De Wet
Welcome to the forum .I am sure you will learn a lot from these guys , they really know what they are talking about

Mad Max

Can anyone post a pic of a Green SF Violet and a Green DF Violet together so we can see the differance ?

Mad Max

Yes I agree looks like a Creamino IE. Turquoise Albino

Mad Max

My advice to you is to put the hen with the cock and not the other way around as the hen could be agressive in her own terretory . It wont matter when you put them together , but I would watch them carefully for a day or so after they put together , Remember they all fight with each other but if it ...

How do I enter a Gray Cobalt male ?

Mad Max

Thanks again Madas

Mad Max

Madas I think there is a bug on your programme at the Turquoise section I entered the following. 1,0 turquoise x 0,1 blue 1,0 100% turquoiseBlue 0,1 100% turquoiseBlue 1,0 turquoise /clearhead fallow x 0,1 Grey green /clearhead fallow 1,0 25% green /clearhead fallow /turquoise 1,0 12.5% green /turqu...

Mad Max

I think you should look at the position of your nestbox . If the air can flow directly into your box and the tempreture changes rapidly , Hot days with cold nights , This might be your problem . If the sun shines directly onto your nestbox , it could also heat the nest to a tempreture that kills the...

Mad Max

Hi Ash

I can arrange hand rearing if it is required

Mad Max

The past weekend I went to visit a breeder in our area . I found the the couple very friendly and the information more valuble than any information in books or on the web. Peter you gave me more in those couple of hours I spent with you than I could ever have dreamed of . Thanks to you and Bernadett...

Mad Max

Thanks Madas
I installed your calculator , with the help of Peter and it works great.

It will keep me awake at night , trying different combinations

Mad Max

I dont think you will be able to tell the diffrence unless you test breed.

If you go to direct sunlight with the bird you might see a tinge of colour on the rump of the bird

Mad Max

Thanks sheyd

I will try it

Mad Max

Hi All

Are there any genetic calculators available in South Africa that have the latest mutations in it ?

Mad Max

Hi All
