So we had our clubs xmas party today and the beginers where put into a draw and we got to get a free bird. I had a look and I picked one I really wanted and got him and then found out we got 3 maybe four! So here is my swag.
This guy was my first pick and I was lucky I got picked first out of the hat.
Then the second time around I wanted the other yellow face but talking to the guy he said I should take this one
Then third time around the other yellow face was still there so I took him
I did not get a fourth round
One the way home I picked up these two hens! (I blame pippi he said we should stop)
Then I figure that I had better give you some picture's of my two nests.
First Flame and Blue (my pets types)
here are their two bubs
And the foster bub from the second nest.
This is the pair from the second nest both free birds given to me

Thanks, I thought it was a great idea by the club and really i would have been happy to get one, let alone three! My only issue was that i got three cocks But I was so much "oh oh oh pretty birds for free" that i did not notice this till after the fact! There was a little very young yellow faced grey that I thought about picking but in the end no one wanted him and Budgielover13 was drawn and she got him he looks a little worse for wear but I think he could end up being a really nice bird! But i am happy with what I got.

They are so cute AV!
Actually I was wondering… are you gonna give some of your babies away any soon?
We’re thinking a get a little present for our Jelly, as a little budgie girl
He is talking to the wild birds outside of the house and loves to play with his bells, also he has a bell which has a mirror ball with it (as a disco ball) and he is talking to it! So I think that he can see himself in little peaces… so we start feeling bad because of it. and my husband said “he need a girl!” and send me to you to get him a friend

I would be happy to give you another one. The two pet types would be his younger brother and / or sister (I think i have one of both) or I have a hen which is ready to go now (and not related to him so if you want to breed in the future you could but I would recommend you think long and hard before you do)
I always recommend getting two boys as I feel they get on better but that is a person thing. Also you don't have to worry about egg binding.
Either way let me know and you can come around and have a look.
Also if you want him to bond better with you then just remove all shiney objects.

Hi guys,
I also cleaned up at the Christmas party, I will post some photos in the next day or two, have some personal matters to deal with at the moment so I haven't been able to get on the forum anywhere near as much as I would like, hopefully these will be sorted by Thursdays and I won't be so distracted and I'll be popping up everywhere .

Some birds take longer then others also remember shiney object that they can see their reflection is will cause them to bond with them more then anything else.
It can take up to a year for a bird to bond with you, so you have to ask yourself do you want a really tame bird or do you want to have two that can entertain each other?
Keep working with the finger and also put some millet on your hand to get him to jump up on it.
If you decide you want to get another one, I would recommend two males then you don't even have to worry about breeding as they will not, hens can still get it into their head to lay off the perch of that the seed dish would make a good nesting spot. If you are still worried give drop me a PM or call me (if you still have my number) and I can come around and have a look at your setup.
