I think I may have sent it in a text??? Or in a different thread??? I'm having a blonde black-out at the moment

...I use manzanita perches (smooth and sandblasted), rope, pedi, and grapevine. I usually add a corner shelf or 2...They love them. I get them on amazon.com usually. But I LOVE the natural looking perch you have in with Lucy and Woodstock. Gorgeous!!! I think I will be cutting limbs off of my pear trees for my new birds. Perches cost a FORTUNE!!! Also, Ruth is bringing me branches from her property when she picks up her cages. I'm excited about that

Oh, that is cool. Do you want some willow twigs?

Sarah gave me those natural perches. They are so cool, the move like real branches which I read supports the muscles in their legs and feet.

I baked some branches at one point, they aren't very flexible though.

When is Nerien coming? LUCCCCKKKKKYYYY you get to meet everyone. Lisa Dante and now Nerien I am jealous

Lol! I am lucky. We are going to meet Ruth at a halfway point...the bi-level is way too tall to ship. I will get to meet Martie too at the October mart. I also met Teresa. We are nutty long distance drivers, so it works out that way. Did you get the cage together? Did it hold up ok during shipping?

chirpy@chirpy Thanks! He/She is a character! Came home today and fed them some eggfood, went back and peaked He was chowing on the eggfood! He flew away when I walked up and had tons of egg all over his beak! By the time I grabbed my iphone for a pic, most was gone, but some was still there! He is so cute!

Still not clear yet... the tear is wide looks like a split to BC

maybe in another week you may be able to tell better.

That is too adorable! I love his "egg food face"

I can never get a candid photo of that happening.

I would definitely say split to CFW is a possibility

though I think Lucy would need to be BC for little Woodstock to be a BC split.

Some of my Yellow Beak NG males who are CFW splits appear totally normal as well. BUT when they seduce a little CFW hen, bam! CFW babies who are brighter than Christmas. ;)

cindy I can get a clearer pic, this was zoomed in so much to show the egg on face, it got blurry

hold on a minute

@TheWhiteFinchAviary Charlie and Lucy's first clutch has 1 normal grey male, own normal grey female and a beautiful CFW male

I don't know what 'split to CFW' means.

CFW is sex liked since mom is visual and not mated with a split to CFW (male carrying the gene but not showing it visually as a full CFW would) or a visual CFW male...mom will only give males that are split to the mutation. The baby will look gray with white wing edges which is a marker for split to CFW (can also be a marker for lightback also)

The baby is so cute....I know if it is male or female you will still love it since it came from Woodstock!
