Wow, that is so interesting! How did you get a blue bird from two green?! I love genetics! The 'Green' female Rosie is a YF type 2 sky blue spangle Opaline. Because of the YF type 2 it makes her blue feathers turn green. So realy she is a blue!

My daughter had a budgie when she was growing up that we named Bluebell. However, as he matured, his feathers turned green. We tried calling him Greenbell, but it didn't stik.

hmmm many reasons, so many people say, poor diet, egg is infertil, first time parents ect. I have hurd you cant stop them once they start eating the eggs so not to breed them anymore. They have a good diet, and have both raised young before so im not to sure why. I am going to keep a close watch on them, if another egg gets eaten, i will take the others away and put them under my other pair and wont be breeding Opal again.

Oh, that's so sad. Somehow, I feel sad for Opal. She may never get to be a mommy.

I'm glad for Opal. I didn't read your post carefully enough! They are very sweet babies. Are they male or female? I'm still learning to tell the difference. The color of their ceres is hard for me to tell. I'm guessing female.

Ohhhh, so precious!
I hope all goes well with Opal and that she doesn't eat another egg. I had a great-aunt named Opal. She lived in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee and had an old white mule named George. I got to ride him when I was little.

If she had a successful clutch before, I bet she just knew the egg was bad. Wishing you luck!
