Thought I would share some of the first clutches of the season. Also, it's the first time any of these birds have bred, so I am pretty happy!


Pair 1: Shelby & Salazar

Mom is RH/PB./YB.bb and Dad is BH/LB.wb/SF"silver"

The first one just fledged about an hour ago.
When I banded them, I saw 2 yellows, a green, a pastel and a silver.


Pair 2: Tamilda & Clyde

Mom is BH/LB.wb/BB and Dad is RH/WB/NB.bb

When I banded these guys, it looks like 4 blues and 1 green.



Pair 3: Karen & Simon

Mom is OH/PB.wb/YB Dad is RH/LB.wb/DFY.bb

All yellow, of course. 5 Babies as well.

Very pretty birds!
I know I'm being a pain but it's easier to follow your genetics if you use the / for "split to" for example: RH/PB./YB.bb would be RH.PB.Yb/Bb and RH/LB.wb/DFY.bb would be RH.LB/WB.DFYb/Bb

Wow! Lots of adorable babies. Congrats!

Gorgeous birds and beautiful babies!!!

Thanks all,
I probably shouldn't have even list the splits to begin with.

Thats a nice trio of clutches

Beautiful birds!

Congrats Brian . You have beautiful birds....

I wouldn't worry about it... it read perfectly clear to me.

Your birds are lovely, Brian, as always!

Oh Brian; what a bounty of great birds Congrats

Congrats and great job in keeping the adults in optimal health to get such productive results! It wouldn't happen any other way. Bob

Not at all, splits should be mentioned if you know them ;)
They should give you quite a variety of chicks with all those splits going on.
Best of luck

All of your birds are very beautiful. Congrats on all cute little babies!
