Your albino sounds like she may start to breed soon. Edited September 16, 2005 by Lady Link to comment

Guest luvbudgies Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I find it easier to breed a pair in a single breeding cage. I have 4 pairs each in there own breeding cage. Link to comment

It worked fine for me. Link to comment
Guest little_cuties Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 okay great. her budgies are only 7-8 months but she's adamant she wants to breed them (i've tried talking her out of it but she won't listen!) they have definitely bonded but she says they aren't really paying any attention to the box, what advice (besides take the box out, she won't listen !) shall i give her ? do you think they'll breed ? thanks Link to comment
Guest Lin Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 With birds of that age I wouldn't give any advice, only to wait another 12 months. Link to comment

Tell her to think of them as 14 year old humans, would she want them to breed? Link to comment
