I've never seen one around here. I know you need ob, maybe we can do a swap?

(if those stupid ob ever get in the mood)

Well...yet another surprise! (I didn't peek very well!!) A fourth baby popped out, another crested. This little one's do is not as full and kind of messy...the face forward pic looks almost like it has horns!!!

I love it! I'm putting in my guess now! #1 is a boy,#2 is a girl. We shall see!

I'm going to look around at a few petshops, see if I can find a crested.

The first one posted at the start of the thread is a boy...I think this is a little girl but time will tell....the fun part is what to pair them with to get more crested.

Yay I was right! See if you can get crested BC?

I have enough offspring from BC to do so! Crested fawn?
Crested FF....crested Phaeo!!! That would be a hoot!!!

I was also thinking crested FF, and crested phaeo? I wonder how much those would cost!! I like the crest FF,BC and fawn ideas

Just wish the other pair would get busy and hatch out some!!!

cindy · Post by **cindy** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 10:34 pm

waiting for the eggs to hatch is the hardest.

Another crested fledged....makes 3 now! 5 babies total.

Well the little ones are almost weaned. I got really excited nd thought all of them had jet black tails no bars but looking at the baby pictures they bars....not sure where they all on all the tails went but we will watch this as they molt.

Mom is a BC that fledged with the rest of the clutch minus the cheek patches, with a tear and a crest.

Dad is a normal...his dad is patches a LB split to BB. Some of his siblings were silver, NG, fawn, fawn Isabel.

Some of the young have dark charcoal wing edges, one has white wing edges, white under the chin and small white spots on the forehead.
