I'm an ex breeder of Budgies, but currently breed quite a number of other birds... I'll start breeding budgies again this year so I thought I might join up and get involved with the online community as well as joining my local club. My main interest will be in some of the "rare breeds", with my main focus on Pieds... Cheers, Tim Link to comment

I currently breed and show African Lovebirds. Peachface, Fischers and Nyasa lovebirds. I am currently working on building up numbers of the Lutino Nyasa, which was first bred here in Australia, but then the numbers shrunk to only a handful of breeders. I also breed Aussie Finches and Asiatic Parrots, Indian Ringnecks and Plumhead Parrots. I will be scalling down the number of different spiecies I keep to only the Nyasa's and Budgies. My main interest in the World of Budgies will be the Australian Dominant Pied. A dream I kind of have is to Breed them in Violet and maybe Yellow face Violet. Cheers, Tim Link to comment

I can be hard to cut back to just two species. But if you have a dream and a focus, it can be hard to achieve if you are distracted with too many plans all at once. I am just getting started with Bourke's parakeets, and in order to do it, I am going to have to scale back on my budgies. Link to comment

Etc... The Bourke's are a nice bird, a lot of people are breeding them now that the licensing requirements have changed. A lot of pretty colour mutations as well, but sadly the normal wild type has disappeared from a lot of collections... Good luck with them though, I believe Budgies are a good teacher when looking to branch out to other birds. I'll be looking to breed Lineolated parrots in the future so I'm looking at refreshing the basics with Budgies. Link to comment
