This is why I love genetics so much!! 🤗💛

How cool is the Goldenface variety?

On the left is a baby Goldenface, and on the right is a fully mature adult Goldenface.

The difference is so striking! 🤗

Goldenfaces are known for their intense buttercup-yellow head and mask, but one of the coolest things about them is how they can change the body colour as they mature, depending on whether they are Single Factor or Double Factor.

Yep, you can get both Single Factor and Double Factor Goldenfaces, and they can look very different from one another!

Just a wee note: both of these birds are Goldenfaces, but they also carry different mutations.

The bird on the left is a Violet Goldenface, while the bird on the right is a Cobalt Goldenface.

So I'll be doing a big sort through over the coming months... cutting down on alot of numbers before winter and due to life circumstances and changes i need to downsize.

These are one's i have currently looking for new post codes... first ones are baby budgies😊

Hey guys, i have got quite a few messages by people asking how i am and if this page is still running 🙂

So yes the page is still running, i have just been taking things slower then normal... I just have lots on going on in my personal life, but I'm doing good 😊 and most importantly looking after myself.

This year i am taking a break from the shows and possibly next breeding season... but might still be having a few pairs going so still have some available 😁

This is a photo of a gorgeous rare! she will be very handy to go across red violet 1st crossings to gw splits

I haven’t been as active on here as I normally am. I’ve been focusing on my health and looking after myself 💗

But I still want to help others, as there are many who need support😊

Even though I won’t be going to shows this season, don’t worry, I’m still working with my birds 😅

I’m hoping to put together a variety video about Cinnamons (we’ll see how it goes). As my Tourette’s has gotten a lot worse, so I’m not sure yet how it will go, but will try my best 😊

Behind the scenes, I’ve also been working on a very special variety 🤫 I can’t share too much just yet 😉

Anyway, here’s a photo of a Red Violet chick. The colour isn’t really coming up on camera( as it doesn't pick up Violet), but this is a very purple baby💜!

This is the first cross from a Clearwing/Greywing to Red Violet. Next season, these will go back to Clearwings to aim for Red Violets in Clearwings, which will be absolutely stunning. I can’t wait to see the chicks 😊

In Dunedin at the moment for the Dunedin Bird Club Christmas get-together tonight 😊

For me It’s never just a trip without taking things up or bringing things back down 😅

This time I’m taking some baby budgies up to their new home tomorrow🥰
