For all here that remember me and my birds I thought I would show you then all again. and for those that don't then enjoy the piccies.  Freckle - my little baby (even tho she is a grandma)  Pie - still a pig with the food  Marine- A big boy now  Ringo - still a problem child, she has only just been returned to the flock after wooing her Dad (pie) away from her mother and started to lay eggs ( one bloody)  Tootie - enjoying a small break from Marine while he eats  Jangles - I know now she is a she, her cere is changing to brown  Squeaker - going to be so hard to tell apart from Marine soon  Echo- learning to be a flirt already  Berry - wanting to meet the cutie in the lens  Reepicheep - as cute as ever and taking after her name sake, the brave little mouse from Narina.  Scuttle - enjoying his 'alone time' while waiting to finish meds before going to his new ma. And a couple of new ones:  Poka - my first 'real' green bird (sorry for the blur)  Thistle - I had to go back for this little girl, Violet Spangle!, she and Squeaker are going to give me some stunning babies later. |

thanks Sal, I think once you have the Ringo bug it never leaves you. I'm dieing to find a man for her, I'm hoping for more like her. I should make it clear that Squeaker, Echo, Berry, Reepi and Scuttle are the babies of Marine and Tootie. For those that didn't know.

Karen - Not until spring time for breeding, I need to give myself time to get a grown up male to match with Ringo. Any idea's on colours?
Lin- I got Jangles with Tootie. Granted I never get many piccies of her, she always knows just when to move to make it blurry.
lol, it's funny but when I show them all off like this people either fall for Reep or Ringo. Not that I can't see why #cheesy#

If it were me, I'd go with a Lutino or Albino to try and keep her colours in offspring (provided the ino wasn't split). I just so happen to have a spare cock Lutino about 16 months old if you want to lend Ringo to me . . . I've also got a Albino cock about 3 years not doing anything at the moment & a proven breeder & great dad. |

ummm well you know the answer about 'leading' lol. Not sure about using an Ino, if i did it would be albino so I could get YF Ino's, but I have a family member that doesn't like ino's in budgies. #shocked# I can't see why lol. Ringo with an albino male would give me - albino and YFino females and YF pied males, normal YF males, blue males and Blue pied males, all males split for ino. Not a bad mix there.....Will keep thinking, I have to wait around three weeks before I can get another, I don't want my birdsitters to have to deal with yet another single caged bird while I'm on holidays. (there are three already)
