Double factor spangles dont have red eyes so she is albino. At hatching double factor spangles have plum eyes for a brief time, just a few days, but your birds eyes are red and that makes her albino. The light body and head markings can show through on some albinos in certain light conditions.

There's a pile of bad "experts" out there isnt there This is not true. Age of your chosen baby if you want a tamed one is 7-8 wks to be sure its weaned and eating alone. PS I have asked on a facebook show budgie page for a baby budgie for you....will advise if I get any contacts.

Jen read the article Care of Baby Budgies in the nest...in our faq section. Its essential that nests are checked twice daily once chicks arrive. You dont allow a female who "doesnt like to be checked " to have her way. You simply MUST nestcheck regardless of the hen not liking it. Its your responsibility as a bird owner/ breeder to do these nestchecks without fail so you can see whats what. A camera in a nestbox must be able to view accurately in the DARK and still give you enough detail to see the things you would see for yourself with proper nestchecking. Dont mean to burst your bubble but you may find it just wont do what you hope it will. You are colony breeding ?

NO.... PS check the link I gave you in your other topic

Best way to protect from rodents and snakes getting in is to tin halfway up about 3 feet....half tin half mesh. and using feeding platforms if you arent sure you have acchieved rodent free.

As I have already suggested as far as trees in pots goes..I brought some branches into my aviary yesterday........within seconds the bark was gone off those branches and the birds had it down to wooden inner section within 5 minutes. Today theres not much left. The bird like to eat the bark off a trees or sapling as the lysine in it is good for them. Like I said....cut branches and add 2-3 times a week. It will look natural and give them what they need. You wont be able to keep up with the ongoing costs involved in replacing plants they destroy. also already suggested.......see above. what kind of mesh and how have you addressed the access for rodents and predators from outside to inside ? Is this a covered in patio you are talking about ? Got any photos ?

Too much glare on the cere photo to tell. Really really dodgy letting a winged bird stand on grass for a photo ...it can be off flying away in no time. PS there is no such thing as too young to tell the sex of a budgie.......however a better photo is needed here. Purple ( called violet ) budgies are not rare or hard to breed.

Breeders if they are show breeders generally hang onto their babies longer to see how they turn out before selling the culls on. Petshops lie about ages of birds and even clip wings of older birds to make them appear as tamed babies. You need to find a breeder of hand tamed baby budgies not a show breeder.

I agree with Maddy. I must say you are also getting some advice here from people who arent experienced as well. Forget the planted aviary idea..............if you saw the fully planted aviary I inherited when I bought my previous house and what it looked like a week later...................you would not even consider trying to put plants in an aviary. Bring branches in a couple of times a week......peppermint tree, gumtree, bottlebrush and hibiscus. Have lots of toys, rope perches and coloured bangles hanging off perches. No logs...they will even try and nest in those no matter how much of a hollow or impression in them. No Flip........................any kind of a log will encourage nesting and breeding and fighting over it too. NO again..... not a good idea at all. Its great to have ideas and opinions but these have to have a good solid grounding in experience and knowledge. Birds will nest in the baskets of these plants IF they plants last long enough and arent eaten. make sure you have no babies in an aviary with a waterfall or pond as they do drown. How can you grow trees in side ? with cement underfoot and a layer of sand ? What about sunlight ? Can you please show what you mean by "inside" ?

You have no idea how fast a budgie can decimate plants in an aviary..less than a week down to stubs and nothing.

Male recessive pied

You dont need to double wire between two flights when budgies are each side. Now if you had budgies one side and lovebirds the other THEN you would need double wiring.

Not at all, Off Topic Chatter is exactly where to put it. Off topic is where I put it

We would love to see your collection of favourite photos of Blueberry

She is not trying to mount you. She is not doing a mating thing. She is trying to get your attention thats all.

OOOHHH so sorry mate....they leave footprints on our heart dont they ?

Hi Shajee and welcome We are happy to help you with anything anytime. and very happy to have you here. Are you on facebook ? as there is also a budgerigar association of Pakistan also that may be able to offer you guidance too as well as us Here..... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Budgerigar-Association-of-Pakistan-BAP/143597632411345

still say both males

I agree with Neville. Both are males.

Not 5 feet......5 metres in another room in another airspace. For instance psittacosis can be carried by a bird and that is an airborne tranferance so 5 ft wont help at all. I once bought a bird that was a carrier of psittacosis.............way back then I was told put her straight in a breeder cage. By the time I knew she was carrying psittacosis she had given it to her cage mate and he died, and all the budgies in cages within that room also died.

I think you need to look into having or making suspended aviaries.
