Genuine bush budgies should only ever come in green, green and green. If you are getting anything else by breeding your bush budgies then you have been "had" and you havent real bush budgies.

After breeding these for the past 20+ years he has several mutation including blue budgies they do not have white faces only yellow. Not trying to start an argument but mutations will appear after time, this also occurs in the wild but they are general killed off by predators due to the colours, that make them stand out.

I didn't believe it as there Ceres looked young and I could see some of mutations in some. To me, the only true way of knowing whether they are bush budgies is with proof via papers/documents. True bush budgies wouldn't be sold at any old pet shop:) Link to comment

There are people who breed nothing but bush budgies at home and they do supply pet stores every now and then. Over here the average price for bush budgies is $30 Link to comment

If I want quality birds, I go to a professional breeder, not a pet shop. The conditions most pet shops have is appalling. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to stereotype all pet shops, it's just there are few good quality, well looked after pet shops anymore. But I can understand your point Kaz. Hooray for different opinions... a bit cheesy sorry... Link to comment

They saved them up north a few years ago when 1000s of them were falling out the sky. Remember it being on the news ? Not long after that i did see a bit of an increase in bb's being sold so i wonder if that had Any relevance Link to comment
