If you are a show budgie breeder and belong to a club you order your club rings through your club. They are closed rings and you need to put them on the baby budgies at exactly the right time...roughly 6-7 days or so. They will have a code on them that relates to your breeder code, club code, a code that indicates year of hatching, and a number that relates to the bird you put it on. Other solution buy rings split or closed from bird supply places. Not all places will carry them.

Well I have tried to use the high protein puppy bikkies ( vet suggestion ) in the food Maggie is eating and she knows its in there and refuses to eat it. Waste of good food. Back to basics.
Cinnamon is easy...its split in cocks and visual in females. Just keep good records of the cocks that may be split for it and use it to your best advantage. to improve your birds I am told you need both cinnamon and opaline birds ( not necessarily in the same bird ).
Yes they have :rofl:
Well ...yes and no. I have already experienced the wrath of the anti dog breeding fraternity, the "buy a rescue dog and dont breed" fraternity and the Cavalier breeders who frown on any breeding of a cavalier who isnt a blue ribbon show winner. Been there done that and believe me...........there's a pile of angry lunatics out there with axes to grind and no help to oiffer. I think my vet nursing experience of the past, my dog breeding experience and common sense will see me through. I am just so darned angry at the attitude of that vet. One eyed, tunnelvisioned right fighter he was
A very good reference book to have on hand too GB
What a fantastic gift and show of support from your club member !!!!!!!
Slideshow of the puppies aged six days
Thankyou very much...........I needed that :rofl: Here is a slideshow of the puppies as they were last night
Some people get real paranoid about cinnamons taking over the aviary This will not happen if you know your basic genetics and work with it. Also cinnamons are a vital part of most breeding and improving other birds and therefore to rid yourself of all cinnamons ( as some breeders do ) is taking some backward steps. My personal opinion only. PS some breeders do very well in showing their cinnamons even at Nationals level :rofl:
One of W.A's top breeders Cec Gearing has front to back ventilation through his aviaries. Up the perching end is open mesh area of around a foot or so....and the other end of the flights is open pop out. I asked him about draughts and weather affecting the birds once, and he said....some of them like it and some dont. The ones that dont, sit on a lower perch out of the draught. Theres a lot to be said for proper ventilation of an aviary and striking that "happy medium" between going too far re draughts and having it too open. That being said airflow is an important key to an aviary. I dont think making an aviary totally draught free is the right thing for the birds at all.
Nestbox looks extremely hard to get at unless the budgie is determined. Kind of like stuck in an attic room. Maybe a better cage setiup than that one would change things.
Recently viewed the Freakley Ainsley stud dvd at a club meeting .....a comment was passed that none of the birds that were so well feathered including over eyes and face could not fly. Concensus of opinion was.......who cares as long as the bird looks that great Doing you tube searches for Jac Cuyten birds and also Daniel lutolfs and the freakley birds etc you will see a whole lot of ladders to enable them to get onto perches ( not fly ) and you will also note that a lot of them seem to breathe heavy. Food for thought.
I would say six maximum and no nest boxes. More perches which you most likely know. Hard to get at access door eh ? Raise the whole cage up off the ground some more as its accessible by mice as it is right now.
Yes the cat may well have something to do with it. Can you shift the cage ? Maturity in a budgie is not solely determined by cere colour as their cere can be coloured at 5-6 months but not mature enough to breed until 12 months. How to post pictures link in my signature.
theres been said that red vegetables helps...........raw beetroot in particular and even the water beetreoot is cooked in.
The seperation is about quarantine and health issues not whether or not they get along with each other.
Very cool ...keep em coming
I have voted with my feet and I will now go to a different vet.
That appears to be a smaller show cage or transport cage not a breeding cage mate.Will wait to see what your breeding cage looks like Breeding cage needs to be a minimum of 2 feet wide ( 60cms ) by 1 and a half foot deep ( 45cms ) and same high.
What actual sunlight do they get GB .......as in contact with suns rays not just sunlight through the mesh ? article on sunlight by Don Burke http://wbo.bestofbreeds.net/article11.htm
Well done....very good deal also like the system with the nestbox holes Good idea
