  1. Beautiful looking bird!. I want 1!!! Scott
  2. Hoping this is a young male and the BB in it will give this bushy crest a Orange hat look. Also got potentially a crested phaeo and normal phaeo in same nest even though gentically this does not work.
  3. Black breast usually do not have a tear drop.....split black breasts have thinner tear drops generally. I cant see a tear drop on your bird but the tail does not suggest 100% bb so im a little confused.....other more experienced members may help.......Welcome to the forum. Scott
  4. Deffo a young male colouring up!. You'll soon hear it attempting to sing! Scott
  5. The parents.....from an aviary full.....were a cfw BC cock and BBC grey hen.......no hint of pied in them but you never can tell for sure in aviary.
  6. Love this bird. Not sure of parents as it has come out of aviary. Not really got any visually pied in aviary either so its a keeper. Deffo BC by the way...other side of bird has a good Half of BC but could not get it to turn around for photo. lol
  7. I was puzzled by the cheek......show fault maybe......but stunning bird!!
  8. Hi all Anyone have any picks of young BB OB? I am curious what a youngster would look like. Thanks Scott
  9. Think it would be all normal looking grey's split for all the other mentioned colours. Scott
  10. Welcome to the forum lee. Think I have communicated with you via facebook!. Anyway, this forum is by far the best for finding information and getting great answers from very knowledgable and friendly people. I am learning a lot from people on here! Your set up looks excellent. Scott
  11. Thanks for the info Clare. The fawn has got the white wing feather to suggest pied I think but would BB not be involved? There is deffo no white near beak. 1 more pic below. The tail on the the 2nd bird looks like bb but it also looks like it has a tear mark. Agree 3rd bird lightback but fascinated with strenght of tear mark??
  12. Unsure about the colours of these. Parents were BFLB/CFW/BB cock x Fawn BB crested hen. (I Think) There is 1 more in nest yet which is a little behind these 3. Looks like a cfw.
  13. Hi Faracat No need to try to take that photo for my benefit. I am by no means an expert on colours. Merely fascinated and trying to understand the genetics involved. :-)
  14. I would guess it is a pied zebra as second pic looks like a cream coloured/grey beak? Great photos.... Suggest last pic should enter the photo comp! Scott
  15. Lovely birds but surpised with colours from pairings you described. Do you have pics of parents? Scott
  16. Im up the road from you in Wigan! Welcome to the forum!
  17. Hi Guys Some of you may have seen this bird (male) under another topic but I am interested in more opinions on what colour this actually is in your opinion? Thanks for looking, Scott
  18. Wow. What a beautiful surprise from such a pairing. personally, I think this could be a phaeo (FF,BB) but a lot more people on here will give you better explanations! Isabel and FF is a little complicated though but based on your descriptions, you seem pretty clued up and have pretty much explained everything yourself ;-) Scott
  19. Think there is a chance of /BC with the hen. Not sure about fawn cheek though.....Was sort of thinking maybe LB for the cock pied bf.??? Got them for a fiver each. ;-) Scott ps. Am I correct in thinking it would be better to split these 2 BF birds up? 2 x dominant genes???
  20. Just won these 2 birds at the auction. Both BF to add to my mixture of colours. Its a grey hen but a bit of a mixed bag for the male? Any suggestions?
  21. Hi Emmy I have read your posts with regards to your 1 BC. I was gobsmacked that neither parents showed any visual signs at all but can understand it. My hen was a full black cheek. The male is only split but they always seem to create BC youngsters! Scott
  22. Nice size cheek patches on these 2 young uns I think and dad is only a split BC.
  23. Not 100% identical with this picture but nearly.......wandering if BF is having some sort of effect on this picture?????
