Biking along the boulevard
ARIEL my English Albino budgie who did nothing but hang up side down since I got her over a year ago
I've sat her up for breeding over the time i've had her with a few different good men (proven daddies) and never NOTHING. no matter how hard they hit on her, Flirted with her etc. notta thing she was to busy hanging upside down
well a couple months back I noticed several times I'd go in the bird room and she was actually on a perch and was allowing a male to flirt with her even feed her which was just strange for her lol
then about 2 weeks later she was up on some ring toys and i looked up and her vent had a lot of stuck poo on it, I figured Great the few times she doesn't hang upside down she gets it by the male and is now egg bound ...... So I pull her out of the cage she's in get her into the bathroom where I had a dish of warm water already for her .. soon as her bum hits the water all the poo comes off NOT EGG BOUND at all..... then i noticed all the feathers around her vent were very very long - Figured that's why her poo got clumped up Plus I'm sure her constant hanging up side down doesn't help matters any lol So we trimmed them (we've done it in the past with tiels (sometimes the feathers get too long around the vent and the male can't do his job correctly)
well then I decided to set her up with Shadow my Grey Spangle male. wasn't maybe 3 days later the 1st egg was laid SURPRISED us all she had a total of 8 eggs, when I counted the days Yesterday 5 of them should of hatched and haven't
One was in the nest box broke open -just yolk- when i looked yesterday and one was on the cage floor, So I took out the broken one, and the one on the cage floor was not broken so i put it back in the nest and let her go back to what she was doing. There were no babies yesterday
Checked tonight and to our surprise there wasn't 1 but 2 babies! One is Albino one is a Dark eyed baby both born Today. but from 2 separate eggs (I re counted the eggs about 5 times and subtracted the broken one To make sure it wasn't "twins" I would of passed out if it was - that doesn't happen often and never has happened to me I just get 2-3 babies born on the same day all from their own eggs lol
So Ariel is a Brand new Mommy and Shadow is a Daddy Again
1st pic is Mommy Ariel - Shadow moved on me LOL
2nd and 3rd pics are of the 2 babies just different views
3rd and 4th pics are of Ariel and Shadow - The darker one I had my hand in front of the flash so it would stop making Ariel look like a huge white flash of light & I had my hand a bit too far over the flash LOL
Shadow is a Grey Spangle Split to Albino & Opaline
Ariel as far as I know is just Albino - guess we'll find out soon enough if she's hiding anything
