I love variegated birds!! I can hear Rich seconding that!! With beauties live this, I just stand and admire, no wonder it takes me longer to take care of this cage!!
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteNice bird. I love these Staffords birds.
Which coloring agent and method are you using ?
Gaetan
I use Bogena with carophyll red added. I use one bogena dipper to one cup egg food and feed this once a day first feeding in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThe birds also have dry Proteen 25 red and eat a small dish of it a day.
The bird pictured is just weaned and I am anxious to see how he looks after the baby molt.
It will be cool to have another picture after the molt (before and after).

Yes, Linda I do love my varigated birds, that Stafford is beautiful. I have a Roller chick with almost the exact same markings, and I fell in love with him the minute he feathered out. I've been feeding the dried oatmeal to all my birds as well, they certainly put on a nice weight andf they dive right in every time I fill the tray. Rich
ReplyDeleteLinda, is this the same bird you posted in the next with the eye markings?
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are all of the same bird just different views.

ReplyDeleteThe other late bloomer is the one I have featured as "mousey" which we hand fed till my husband reported it was big enough to shave!
