I'm hoping to be able to borrow some cages. My aviary currently holds 8 budgies it's 6ftH x 4ftW x 6ftL would adding 12 more be overcrowding? Thanks Libby

Libby well if she had fledglings and was on a clutch then letting her lay would be her third id actually rest her let her settle in lib -------------------- follow my breeding experience at http://newchickontheblock.webs.com/

Just wanted to say I love the pics on your new birds. Congrats on being so fortunate to rescue them and give them a good home. Look forward to seeing how you go intro'ing them to existing flock. I had an original clan from same parents and when I did put in new blood it didn't always go well.

My budgies in the avairy are pretty laid back and are use to new additions so fingers crossed. And welcome to the forum there are some very knowledgeable people here. Libby
