Congrats on the Creamino birb!

Thanks for putting the name to the mutation!!!!

All the babies have fledged and so funny that they spend more time outside every day than the older birds…..(under daddy’s watchful eye of course) and mr muddy said we have more babies hatched this week in Bella’s (original female) nest .
Pretty soon, I may have more budgies than quail if they continue
Budgie math…..I started with 1 female and 2 males
I lost 1 adult and a dozen or so babies along the way
Re-homed 8
Now have 20-25?????

Congrats on the Creamino birb!

I ended up with creamino twinsies this time!!!!

Ok so it really just hit me today this batch of fledglings is 3 sets of twins color-wise!
2 creamino, 2 yellow face, and 2 white face with more turquoise body (not sure of mutation name)
It turned bitter cold again but the babies are all outside enjoying it!!!!

I’m a little confused by the 1 nest……2 females “sharing” and 2 birbs fighting over perch to feed the sitting moms. The two fighting are both mainly white with blue and gray (no not albino) but cere color is still light pinkish so I thought they were females now I’m cornfuzzled!!!!!

Newest nekkid babies…..probably more albino and white with blue and gray

Some male budgies retain a pink cere depending on the color mutation. Posting a good picture showing the ceres accurately will make it possibly to help you determine their sex.

When budgies first hatch it is possible to know if they will be albino/lutino by looking at the closed eye lids. Lutino/albino will look reddish while other colors are blackish.

Yup and the sex of Albino/Lutinos can also be determined at birth if the female isn't Albino. Basically, if a non albino female has an albino chick, it's a confirmed female

While it was warm out, I played with the new babies
