well when the time comes, your have to have a few pics of it growing up.
They are all very lively, wiggle like crazy when you pick them up. Its been a while since i held something so tiny like these, they feel so precious.
Baldy will be interesting to see how he/she colours up. Its all white fluff at the moment, with just that bit of yellow on the tail.

Am I right in thinking that if both parents are red fronted (or whatever you call it) then none of the babies will be yellow fronted green pied ones???

Um yeh, red fronted and yellow fronted are 2 different breeds of the same species. your Puku is a red fronted pied .. dad was a red fronted pied mum is a red fronted lutino

No such thing as a thick question Orange, (unless Jon is doing the asking #cheesy# ), there will be other people wondering the same thing #cheesy#

Im the thickest when it come to colours Orange... Its a yellow, or green to me but what the heck as long as they are healthy. They look smart being the normal colours, but when they are mixed i think it make them interesting. Spice is a smart looking bird, with a touch of yellow. Sugar has a lovely green and yellow mixed tail. I dont know if you have seen my flight pics, but it will give you more of an idea of thier colours. Im surprised at baldy though, i did not expect that..but what do i know Yesterday after feeding, all were sleeping in the box. Sugar was resting on the oldest chick. She had her head in its fluff, and it was so sweet.

Orange, I think they can mate, but it's a big no no to breed the two together. I'm sure Jon said that before?

Orange, it has been done before but for the benefit of sience and to see what they come out like. I'm sure others would agree with me in saying its not right to cross breed the 2 variations.
