I think the main reason for facing east is for the morning sun and protection from southwesterly winds in winter/ early spring. Birds such as scarlet chested parrots and gouldian finchs are exspecially effected from these winds and losses will occur. North is still good as the back wall will stop th...

smick

Almost all my avairies face east the only exception is two up the back which face north, one has budgies in it and the other a pair of red rumps and they double clutch, so direction isn't a factor.

Interesting topic, the first blue lacewing hen that I bought is quite pale in colour even when she matured . I have a pair male turquoise blue pallid to normal blue hen and all blue pallid hens from them have been a darker blue from the the original hen even in the nest. Another pair turquoise blue/...

smick

Do you think because all my pairs start late in the season ,none of my pairs have ever double clutched.i dont onow if others near me start late.my mate lives near liverpool and none of hes pairs went down.my indigo blue cock and double factor violet blue hens eggs were infertile and its been six wee...

smick

I live near the southern highlands nsw and none of my pairs do anything untill late August and into September and one pair not until the end of September and start of October. Maybe the cold mornings makes them hold off. Most off my Australian birds don't nest until late september. Even my Gouldian ...

zananv, did you get the bird tested to find out if it had pbfd,thanks smick.

smick

Sorry Ben, but its in the picasa the first step to make public viewable i don't know how to find it

smick

Ben, i have created the picasweb albums but in the post you say in step one about edit album info to public viewable album. How do you find this page to edit i can't work it out,sorry.

I took some photos on my samsung phone but they look terrible maybe the cement at work has damaged the lens. I might try the daughters Ipod and then i will have to figure out how to post photos as havent done so yet. I will give it a go with the photo i have.

Mmm a surprise,my male turquoise blue was supposed to be split ino and i paired him up to my creamino hen .but evidently he was split pallid. The young well and truly feathering up and from what i can see,one blue pallid hen,one bluepallidino cock,and what looks to be a turquoise blue pallidino cock...

smick

Unfortunately for me the indigo blue cock/pallid to df violet blue hen's eggs wern't fertile and looks like they wont try again this season. i suppose for a one year old hen and two year cock the chances were that they may not be fertile yet.at least she sat full term so should be a good hen.

smick

may i suggest with one of the green/blue hens pair this to a blue pallid cock which aren't that much different in price from a normal blue and are easy to get and beautifull. This pairing then will produce 50% green pallid hens,and 50% blue pallid hens. Cocks will be 50% blue/pallid and50% green/blu...

I think its pbfd,because about 5years ago i bought a young turquoise hen thats tail feathers went like that at first moult which i believe isoften when it will show itself.i removed the bird and introduced it to nulla-nulla as i wouldn't risk the rest of my birds,the cock that was in with her is fin...

smick

Thanks,lushen for the reply. my young pallids have a deep red plum coloured eye whilst this birds eye is a light bright red. the flight are growing now and are white,so i would guess it is a lutino/blue hen,thanks mick

smick

I have a pallidino cock paired to a blue pallid hen. from this pair i can get pallids split blue in cocks and hens as well as pallidino cocks and ino/blue hens. My question is that in the nest is two green pallids and one yellow bird that i'm not sure is a ino or a pallidino :? . this baby has brigh...

smick

Hi Missybuddygirl, from the blue cock to grey(sf)blue hen you will get both 50% grey and blue cocks and hens. if i'm correct for pair 2, 1.0 grey(sf)blue x 0.1 D green % from all1.0 25% 1.0 grey(sf)green/blue 25% 1.0 green/blue 25% 1.0 D grey(sf)green/blue 25% 1.0 D green /blue % from all 0.1 the re...

smick

Jerry, you would get from
1.0 grey(sf)blue cock
x 0.1 green pallid hen
1.0 50% grey(sf)green/blue pallid cocks
1.0 50% green/blue pallid cocks

0.1 50% grey(sf)green/blue hens
0.1 50% green/blue hens.

Hope this helps,thanks Smick.

smick

I think it comes down to personal taste and whats more usable to produce different colours. I personaly do not like greys,greygreens,olives,mauves. I think grey is a hard colour to use from being dominate and i for one don't want them. I was given a mature grey cock recently but am giving it to a fr...

smick

Sorry to put my 5 cents in,but could a silver lacewing be greyblue sf cinnamon pallid?. not really into grey's but this would be a nice hen. i was just given a grey cock and can't find a use for him,so i'm giving him away again to a friend.

smick

I haven't seen a ino-cinnamon ringneck but have seen ino-cinnamon eastern rosella's and they do express both colours . they appear to first be just a lutino but when you compare the flights and tails you notice a lutino has white flights and tail whilst the ino-cinnamon has light cinnamon wash throu...

Hi all,very interesting read :) . Glenn i wait with antisipation the photo's of Indigo Violet pallid as i'm am thinking off trying to breed this colour. At the moment i have a Indigo blue cock bird possible split pallid with a double factor violet blue hen,they are sitting on 4 eggs that i hope will...

smick

Hi carmen,they look very similar to the green pallid chicks that i bred last year,which had the red eyes,ajd a yellow colour with a green tinge,thanks smick.

smick

With first time parents,and you think they are stunted it's a good idea to check the crops morning and late afternoon if they are allways empty and the chicks are constantly begging then they may need pulling for handraising.if only one is small you can pull him out before dark and give a top up fee...

smick

With first time parents they sometimes don't feed them well and this can be any parrot species. allways check the crops when you think they are stunted or with first time parrots this will gage if they are feeding the young well.if morning and night the crops look empty and the chicks are constantly...

G'day Lushen,following the post with interest. One question do you put in each time the pairings at the bottom of post or is there a way to save it and add it everytime :? . My pairs are going ok with 2 prs sitting and the other 2 prs mating and entering boxs. pr1 turquiose blue pallid cock to blue ...

smick

Jarred,i have been breeding eastern rosella's for about twenty years,they are a great bird.i mainly breed lutino mutations. but last year bought a possible tripple split cock (lutino/cinnamon/red). i put this to a lutino hen,only one young that year a red hen,this hen i have put in with a lutino coc...

I currently have both a cock turquoise blue and a indigo blue cock in side by side avairies and there is a deffenant colour difference. The turq has more green suffused through the front of the body,whilst the indigo blue has a unusual almost slate blue front, where i purchased him from all the indi...

smick

Lady calypso,interesting birds exspecially that pair that throws all those colours from olive and silver. my pairs set up for this season ,turquiose blue pallid cock x blue hen green pallid/blue cock x blue pallid hen indigo blue/pallid cock x df violet blue hen turquiose blue/ino cock x creamino hen

smick

Jarred,a bird cannot be split violet when a blue bird paired to a blue violet will give both visual blue and blue violet young,the blue birds will be straight blue. your bird is a normal blue cock but could be still split to a sex linked mutation depending on his parents,eg if he's father was a blue...

smick

From what i know about gencalc,to check your cock bird if it's a visual turquiose grey then you check grey sf and turquiose and blue. but with the hen are far as i know there is no indigo in gencalc to check and all you can enter her is as a turquiose and blue.but herein lye's the problem how do you...

smick

Only new at mutations myself but i think to produce mutation colours quickly from normal greens you probably would be best to pair to another co-dominant mutation such as grey (bluegrey) and violet (blueviolet),both these depending on which sex is what% will give coloured young such as greygreen/blu...

smick

It might be because i'm new to mutations :roll: but if he's trying to get as purple as possible and when i see these cobalts and mauve's, i see to much grey :? . I wonder if it's better to hunt for the best purple looking DF violets and pair them together :!: , my DF violet hen looks more purple to ...

smick

Thanks for the reply Angeldc77,the green/blue pallid hen is starting to feed the blue pallid hen so will keep together as is is the first time she's accepted a male. I will see if my mate will by the blue/pallid cock from me as he's a spare anyway.

smick

My mate just bought this turquiose grey pallid hen and plans to pair it to he's green pallid cock which isn't split. But from this pairing he will get grey pallids and green pallids all split to turquiose. He's on a tight budget so i suggested a turquiose cock/pallid, but other options could be blue...

smick

If i'm correct and the pair is blue/pallid cock and lutino/blue hen then the blue chick will be a cock and the pallids would be hens, being pallid is a sex linked mutation. But this combo wont get the turquoise blue pallid? so the hen may be creamino as rod said and you would have to dna the blue bi...

smick

Thanks Rod, i will leave the pairings as is. I may buy a albino hen to put with the green lacewing spit blue.

smick

Thanks Rod,i think your probably right and just check turquoise blue / split lacewing for the cock and subsitute indigo for the results. I have left to pair up myself, a green lacewing cock/blue, blue/lacewing cock and a blue lacewing hen so i still need one more hen and not sure what to get. I was ...

smick

Yes this helps Molussus and thanks, and i did have a general idea as to the offspring but i still can't figure out how to find mutations like indigo,aqua, emerald in genecalc?. I must be looking wrong. For a green lacewing (pallid) cock what would some suggest as to a good hen. Would turquoise be a ...

smick

G'day ive bought a indigo blue/lacewing cock to put with my double factor violet hen. I can't see how you put this cock bird into gencalc?. If i'm right i should get violet blue cocks,indigo violet blue cocks, indigo violet blue lacewing hens and violet lacewing hens. My mate bought a green lacewing...

smick

Glen i'm in Thirlmere near Picton, half hr south of Campbelltown,thanks Mycoola

smick

I'm really only a newee to mutations myself and someone like Rod38 would be a better judge. Someone must know how to fix your quota problem

smick

I'm no expert but it can't be a pallidino hen,my guess is a green pallid hen but as we know need to see a photo.

smick

I will stick with the blue split pallid cock to the double factor violet,thanks for the advice and the pastle violet lacewing cock would be good if you can find them at a reasonable price maybe in a season or too. The tourquise blue split ino cock was originally meant to pair to the creamino hen but...

G'day i now have a young double factor violet blue hen,i have a choice of two cock birds for her 1),blue split pallid(lacewing) or 2), tourquiose blue split ino.

How do you tell a cock green pallid from a green pallidino,when i bought him i thought i was told he was a pallidino /blue. He is almost as yellow as my lutino hen but a slightly different shade, neck ring is brownish in colour.

smick

My Green pallid cock/blue and Creamino hen ,had two young both look to be green pallid, but their body's are more lime green with a yellow head,flight and tail feathers, are they both hens because their father is more yellow all over with a very slight green tinge,or is this because he's split blue,...

smick

Hi Julie only have the two young a normal hen and the interesting cock,my guess it is a platinum ino,a combination of platinum,lime and ino. Keeping him, but next season if more young like him will sell,the hen will be sold but its only a normal. The good thing about Redrumps is most mutations are r...

The young cock is colouring up quite interesting-strong yellow all down the front,red rump,softer light yellow on wings and back,silvery yellow head with a slight green tinge above beak and a cinnamon looking tail.Young lutino cocks iv'e seen are all a deep yellow and hens light yellow. I might keep...

smick

G'day there are different opinions as to the cause of splayed legs but i think often its either from the bottom of the nest box being too smooth or from the hen sitting on the young for to long when at a age that she should have spent more time out of the box. I would check the bottom of the box fir...
