############## image update! ############## Breeding Room photo now added to the first post.

thats right, humans have interfeared with the budgie, so this is what happens. PS, I might of forgot to say, I will edit-in pictures into my first post, so keep checking.

yep, the show budgies do not live very long at all! Its very sad.

yep, they sure can live for 20 years if looked after well. Its true. He has a blue ring.

Cool, If you can, let me know how it goes.

I havent tryed this, but I know of someone who has a D.E.U. They say it works fine, but thats all I know.

LOL, he is 5 years old. He is so cool! Grey looks like an old type of colour doesnt it? ----- Picture Update Our club just had its meeting on friday. I have taken some pics of some of the birds on show and of the club's library, so ill post them shortly.

Yes my pets do the same thing! LOL Its funny to watch! (pics of them can be found in the budgie pics forum)

thats just one. LOL My other one is the size of half a garrage! My fav budgie is my pet, Beedy!

it sure is :bluebudgie:

Well, after months and months of shopping for a digital camera, I now have one! That means I can photograph my birds and cages and so on! ALL IMAGES HAVE BEEN COMPRESED FOR THE WEB, so they wount look as near as good as my camera takes them at. I will be adding here to the list of photo in this post, so as I take more, i will add in. Also look out for other posts I make with images in them. Well, here goes! Ill start with my fav pets. 1. This is Beedy! (boy) (picture below) Died 18/8/04 - My first budgie I ever had as a pet and also my first budgie out of the nest when I first started breeding. One of the friendliest and most tame birds I have ever seen. It took MANY MANY hours to tame him and its worth it. He free flys and is so much fun! :bluebudgie: He speaks over 30 words, and eats breakfast and dinner with me. He also won 'pet of the night' at my budgie club I was SO amazed when I saw a grey coloured bird! Not anymore! LOL 2. This is Jessy! (girl) (picture below) I decided to breed a friend for Beedy when I was not arround, and so I did. She is a girl, duh! lol and is pied. Again, breed by me, but at this point, more experiance I have in breeding. She is not as near as tame as my other featherd friend, Beedy, but is nice enough to me! 3. My aviary (picture below) I have 2 main aviaries. This is one, its not big, but I like it! About 200 birds in this one. I will take a picture of my other aviary soon! Also, Inside this cage: The Breeding Room: A closeup of the 'youngster' flight cage: Baby budgies in my nest box, hatched not to long ago: More grown up baby budgies in the nest box: My Second Aviary! (bigger): Some of my budgies sitting in a row in the aviary Someone asked me to post a violet budgie, well here it is! My other pet budgie named Mickey - Replacement for Beedy My new pet budgie - Ricky - 6 weeks old (correct grey colour) Ricky again (lighting changed, not that blue) Well, that is all I have for now! Check back later! Feel free to post any comments/questions you have! :parrot:

Here in Australia, you must be a member of a club or the budgie council. Im not sure about other countries, but here, each ring is recoreded to who is the owner. Ill show you my rings, will post picture soon.

im like, what is he doing posting the same topic twice?? Then i found out it was a redirect, so all is good.

You are ment to breed when the rains come, IE winter. I am breeding now, and Im in Australia. I would really recomend it as you dont get problems with heat.

it has been know to happen. I cant say for sure though.

Stephen, it took me months for my bird to be like jacko the budgie! Took heaps of time!

Clint, u never annoyed me! LOL

this topic is drifting guys. Please stick to the topic.

interesting topic. I learnt something, ill try it.

I totally agree with you Hath.

Hello, and welcome to our forums!

I am COMPLEATLY against wing clipping, and I will refuse to hear about it. Its like cutting off your arms!

I want a downloadable one!

okay, im pritty expreinced at this. 1. They HARDLY mess up your house. You will have a bit of poop, but that dries like paste. Easy to clean. The feathers will be everywhere. 2 DO NOT CLIP YOUR BUDGIES WINGS It is the MOST cruel thing to do. How would you like it if someone cut off ur arms? 3 They do sleep at night. They are really quite at night, trust me, i have 512 of them! (Unless something scares them, then they will go Wild) Hope this helped.

You missed out 'The Budgie' Which is the Australian budgie.
