I agree with Nerwen. Try all the cage arrangement suggestions first and then see whats what but dont add any more birds.

No....I lived in Perth till Collie....Collie is way colder than Perth and my birds dont need those things.

Two words ..... VET FUND a savings for vet fees for any emergencies too few people plan ahead and most young people have to rely on parents in an emergency and a huge amount of parents refuse to pay vet fees and the bird dies.

ask RIP......she both uses this and sells it.

This isnt about food Squeak I was actually just mentioning it, it is general health care, as the OP was not clear in the original post. I don't think it is fair or healthy for a bird to not have food available at all times. I agree Squeak HOWEVER as already stated in the first post

Try changing the perches to run front to back giving them a way to fly across the cage and I would remove the mirror type toys totally Put two swings in...one at each side of the cage. PS cuttlebone under the perch down low isnt the place for it to be....put it high up and not under a perching situation where it will get pooped on.

This isnt about food Squeak Eating droppings to a degree is normal practice. Its a part of keeping their natural gut flora healthy and working well. Any breeder on here who is observant enough will tell you that parents eat some of their droppings before going in to feed their babies too, thus establishing correct gut flora and health for their babies. Its also part of immunity. It is NOT about starving for food.

Green is dominant..................unless the green bird is split blue you will only get more green birds from them.

Your budgie is a boy and is only a baby. You have to wait around 10 months before even thinking of breeding him. You cannot get a grey budgies baby from him as green is dominant.......Paired to a grey hen you will get greens and grey greens ( along long time off ).

Your green budgie has a bright blue cere which boy budgies get UNLESS they are recessive pieds. Boy recessive pieds have a pink cere their whole life long. Apart from that I am usually quite good at sexing budgies I can sex baby budgies at age 3 days old.

Birdo The "girl" is a recessive pied MALE Yoshi, the green budgie is also a MALE

Very nice........she appears to be a golden face

Is this the kind of cage you have ??

We can see the photos now because I fixed your links....for some reason you were adding a bbc link as well which mucked up your photo links. You seem to have a male and female already.......BUT your photos arent all that clear especially of the "whitish" budgie.....the close up of its cere. The cage is a weird shape and the nestbox, although attached well enough, is kind of stuck up the top in an awkward place. Top is good, but the spot its in seems kinda cramped ?? There is no perch allowing easy access to the box....you need a perch to the box. Can someone take some clearer photos of the white budgies cere..........natural daylight photo, front on and clear clear clear photo...using macro setting. If you are using your phone for photos it isnt clear enough.

Me three.............we dont have these in Australia or at very least not called what you are calling them

no. you dont get a new female and put straight down to breed with your male.....did you read what I said above about that ? and quarantine ? If you are not prepared to listen to good advice and if you are so impatient to breed why are you here asking questions ? STOP what you are doing and do some reading, research and asking of questions. Post more photos so we can advise in a more detailed and concise way. and we still dont know the sex of the lighter budgie ( the blue one is male ) .............so PLEASE do the photos her FIRST..............both birds, close ups ( clear ones ) of the ceres and eyes too please ? Photo of your cage set up. Dont be impatient, dont get ahead of yourself..............wait. Dont add a new female and start breeding her. You have come to the very best place you could have for advice...........be prepared to listen and learn.

On most cases its a combination of lack of calcium and possibly the hen sitting too hard on the chicks, as well as slippery nestbox floor. Not inherited.

Unfortunately I must suggest you ignore Corztunts advice ................sorry Corzstunt because the cere of a male lutino stays pink its whole life and the cere of a female lutino goes brownish after 5-6 months. Blue ceres and purply blue ceres do not have anything to do with lutinos.....apart from baby lutino males having a bright pink cere. You are sure your bird is a lutino ? Bright yellow with red eyes ?

Best not to put another budgie in for breeding unless there is a period of quarantine.......look up FAQ on quarantine. What age also is the other budgie. AGAIN...........how about we get those photos happening so we can be CERTAIN of the sexes first ? and while you do it go for some cage photos too ?

Yep , its all up to you now

How about we first establish what you have as far as sexes go and what set up you have in case there's more than just getting male and female right for breeding ? We can help you better if you supply more information and photos of everything PS please stop using shortcut language ( abbreviations ) in your posts as you have me busy editing them all ....please check your writing before you post

PS Congratulations on your new badge and position on BBC * eyes left *

photo too close and you need to use macro setting on camera PS I fixed your photo links....please read how to again we will get there in the end
