Zebra with a little orange eye brow!

Post by cindy » Tue Sep 20, 2011 7:55 pm

Ok...maybe this little guy is getting ready for Halloween!! He is a normal split to penguin and if you look closely he has an orange line from his cheek and over his eyes!!!

He is also a little pudge!

Just look at his large black chest and
the orange color over his eye is a
strong sign that he is split BB!

Vagur you made my day!!!!! He is a sweetie to, sits right in front f me and chirps. I now have two males split to BB, two unrelated blood lines and FF females. (Actually I have a few of the male in the pictures brothers so they would als be split to BB as well as penguin....and here I had them listed for sale as normals split to Penguin....now they have a bonus feature :wink: ) It als means some of my penguin offspring frm the pair that produce the little guy in the pictures, they are also split to BB. Oh the possibilities!!

One male has produce young already, I have young FF females and I could pair the little guy with the eyebrows up with a FF.

The feather below is a tail feather with the hourglass shape from the fawn male that that produce young...one of the offspring males has a very odd and high pattern to the chest area, there are two males in the group and 2 females.

Would a Florida silver male work with pairing a female whose parent it split t BB? I know if I do any pairing it may take another try ot two with offspring to get Phaeo.

The cage he is in has a few others that just nicely move when I feed them, they all go to the spot and wait for the dish to be put back in....he is a pudge though. He is staying here for sure.

I think you should just give it a try Cindy :)

Here is a photo of my Phaeo (left)
and my LB split to BB (and maybe also OB)

you can see the orange above the eye on the LB,
and he also have his flank spots enlarged, very pretty..
Looking forward to breed this guy to one of our BB females.
