The oldest would be 6 days old and the youngest babies would be 2 days old. It helps that all 3 pairs hatched on the same day :D

Aren't they adorable! I just love those little bitty chicks! I used to breed cockatiels...and those were tiny little babies. I just love them when they first hatch and have all that downy fluff... :D What colors are the parents?

They sure are! Baby lovebirds are like little VW bugs compared to the lincoln navigator ringnecks. ^^

What ugly little things, no offence. All featherless birds are ugly. xD

But I know they'll be little beauties soon!

The picture Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2005 7:28 am - title: so far there are two blues:- Something about that little one on the right with its face up against the wall that just draws me to it, makes me go all soft and lovey! If I could get one that would be the one.

And look at those two runts up the back, hehehe, soo cute. I wish I had the guts to breed. Maybe in a few years and once I have plenty of knowledge .. sigh!

Just toooooo cute!

sun conures range from $350 to some breeders $800 so you just have to shop around, i knoww a lady breeder who has breed irns for many years and will be breding sun conures now, i get one baby form her first clutch for $350, but the cheapest you may find is $400... try your local newspapers, pet stores (ask for breeders names etc.) or even newspapers solely on selling the one in West aust is called the quokka, or on www.petlink.com.au try sensis.com and trading post.com! you just have to shop around! :D

I would sell my Sun Conures for $500-$600. They won't be breeding until mid next year so i will have to see what the price is like then.

thanks for that .. I have been keeping an eye on www.petlink.com.au - this is where I found Kai's breeders.. I might give them a call too because they had and could get other birds.

also still does anyone know much about Malabar's ?

Thanks again

Knowledge is power and I feel NO question is a stupid question so here goes.

Do the babies skin feel like a thinner version of our skin before they get feathers? I have never had the opportunity to see a baby bird in real except smashed in the sidewalk and they usually have feathers by then. :cry:

Um it's hard to explain.. bappys skins are very soft and warm. It's moist but not wet and it's very loose. Theres not really enough of them to touch lol.

I have had people tell me they feel just like human babies skin.
Personally, i think it is a little rougher, probably because their skin is so loose and wrinkly but it is still nice and soft. Baby birds are very warm.


Angie, i don't know much about Malabar's. All i know is they are basically the same to breed as Ringnecks and apparnetly make VERY good pets. However, the price is a bit of a draw back if you want one for a pet

I was asking because I found malabars for sale on petlink.com and was wondering about them.

This is why animal husbandry has always drawn me. You get to work with babies (animal ones, lol) all the time. Then when they grow up you can say goodbye and feel good about giving a bird a good home and a good start.

I'm currently looking for Slaty-headed parakeets. ^^

Scarlet: I can see the difference between the blue and silver in the post above "Here is a Blue and a Silver" , so he would be able to tell how many he has. If you cannot see the colour maybe its your monitor colours or brightness/contrast ??

Scarlet,
In the earlier posts, although you can't see it in the photos, their colours were already coming in.

There was a mistake on my behalf however, saying there were a few Greys. At that stage i was only guessing because 5 babies came from a pair of Grey's.

So far there are 3 Silvers and the rest are Blue. However, some of the Blue's may be Pastel Blue (Turquoise), it is hard to tell at this stage

Ok, there are 6 Blues, 1 Grey, 1 Pastel Blue, and 3 Silver (although 1 or 2 may be Pastel Silver....either that or they are just dirty)

Hey Jeremy,
Wow! I've never seen a silver. How gorgeous. What colors did you breed to come up with that? I think the greys are absolutely gorgeous too. You don't see them much around here at all. Mostly just the green, and blue variations. How much would a silver and grey cost over there? I know they would be heaps of money here. Just curious! Is it hard for you to sell your babies? Do you worry about them and if they'll get a good home? I would! So I imagine you do too. Sorry if those questions were offensive! I didn't mean them to be. Thanks for the pictures and keep them coming! I can't wait to see the silver and grey as they get a little older! What beauties!

Thanks,
Jen

jen, the parents of the Silvers were a Pastel Skyblue Cock x Silver hen.

Over here, Greys are about $150 and Silvers $200 h/r.
Just 2 years ago you would have paid $300 for a Grey and $700 for a Silver :shock:

So far, i already have 3 people buying some babies from me so it doesn't seem like it will be too hard. I usually have trouble selling parent raised birds.

Is that a green, 2 blues, and two silvers? Or is one a Turquoise? Or that second one may be a grey but looks turq. in the pic. Sure looks like it on screen.
