  1. Finnie, your back. I had never thought that you could actually get black eyed yellows, but I must be wrong.
  2. Nice picture too phoebes. November These two are my star breeders. She is the best mother out of them all, the colours they produce are amazing and I was sooooo lucky to get them both. (Purple is mother and yellow is father)
  3. Haha, I can just imagine, I had a male doing this. I just swapped over to a different seed and it fixed him.
  4. Sorry for the loss, a number of things could be the cause of this, like egg bound however you said you couldn't feel anythings, it is likely to be a virus or bacteria problems. Hope it is not contagious.
  5. Phoebes, I know that you can buy larger ones at pet shops, vets, and supermarkets. However if you want a smaller one I see that alot of the have honey in them, however how much i have no idea, and if this is actually right. But you have to be careful with supermarket ones as they are no the best of quality.

    Welcome to the forum. Yes I agree that name picking can take time, I have had two of mine for a year and still don't have a name for them.
  7. Sorry for your loss. I have heard from somewhere that mineral water is not necessarily good for the budgies. Also what average temperature is it where you live, as it may not be necessary to cover up the birds.
  8. Great entry Robyn. If any one wants a preview of the calendar, please send your email to me in a message. The calendar only has up until October, but I only need to add November and Decembers photos. The calendar also has a 18 day egg count (and how to use the chart) and a notes page.

  13. Yes you may enter all of them. OCT I will try to get a better photo and replace this one with that new photo when I get it
  14. okay, well Rachelm is the winner for this month of September. We are now moving onto October, please add you entries and state OCT before the picture.
  15. Hello, Well i have had exactly this problem, they get fully developed and die (in the shell). I found that the female stopped turning the eggs and the chicks stuck to the egg unable to hatch causing them to suffocate. I cannot turn mine as if i even touch the nest box the female kicks out the eggs within the next hour. So i have decided that I can either raise them myself or foster them off between my other breeders, however i wan to give her one more chance. Hope this helps.
  16. I use a mite and lice spray on the cage every now and then so to keep the birds free of mite and lice. However you have to remove food and water before doing this as it can poison them if digested.
  17. Welcome to the forum. I have been breeding for 3 years and only have 12 budgies. Mind you I only have one successful pair and only raised 5 babies from my one good pair that started last year the first year nothing very upsetting second year I got 2 and on the 3rd year i got 4 but one died at 2 days old for no reason. Looks like you are doing well.
