Finally Found English Budgies

Post by ranchnanny » Sat Dec 21, 2013 4:55 pm

I have been looking everywhere in Oregon and Washington (within reasonable driving distance) for English Budgies and finally on Craigslist yesterday 2 show up.... Boy was I excited call right away and made arrangements to get them. The gal had to rehome all her birds and she was asking $20 for the 2 plus the cage, food, toys etc.....They are both hens now I will have to find a male or two....

Hi Sherry!

The first one is sky blue sf spangle opaline
the other one is normal sky blue opaline with very pretty face spots!

Spangle is dominant so you need only one to get more spangles.
SF spangle + normal will give 50% sf spangle and 50% normals.

Spangle is my fav mutation

if you want to know more PM me :)
