Oh No You have been through so much lately.........I am so sorry :party0011:

Sorry Mine are ready to go to nest most all of the year and I breed all year round due to having the conditions to do so. BUT if you have been getting rain like all of us most other places, they are very motivated by rainfall. It triggers a place in their brain that tells them rain means plentiful food for as long as they need to raise a family. Budgies are motivated more by plentiful food, water and good conditions more than a season. Wild budgies would go by seasons as regards crops, rainfall, droughts or not etc.

Liv..........you will find that legring is WABC 345 06 .......WABC being an uncoded ring. Best ask Renee whar she knows of the mothers background,

Wow !! :hug: So well told I could imagine being there :hug: So, so glad you caught her. That pairing will be a good one. Hope your DF hen can overlook his MESSY FACE and see his inner beauty

Breeding season and mating are two entirely different things. Budgies mate ALL YEAR LONG.........its their recreational sex.

He is a Gary Armstrong bird.

Liv do you have pictures of these babies at various stages in the nest so I can see the progression of feather development ? Will be helpful at knoiwing what to look for and recognising signals....indicating what is to come. PS Cec and Brenda expressed their sadness at you having 3 in one nest..........said in all their breeding they have only ever had two at the same time in a nest.

He is better than his father

His father is the partner of Omelette.

I wont sell him

Mother is a combination bird it seems........and she is also spangle.

These chicks are growing at a rate of knotts

He looked better today He took off a first in spangles The blue chick and the grey in that nest are siblings, and they are all fosters in that nest....mum and dad are only fostering. Dad is a long skyblue normal

Miracle chick from a Dad I was surprised to get chicks out of.

Yep.........I am thinking cinnamon opaline spangles.

Yeah......I think maybe grey spangles

three eldest have white pinfeathers

A few more photos of babies in nests Not the same blue chick as above.....a different one

and commiserations also to Nubbly Who lost a beautiful clearwing who escaped its cage and could not be caught before it found a louvred window open and flew off to her freedom ...........................sorry about your lost bird Nubbly

i wouldnt breed them still for about 3 months they still look young to me anyway if you just keep them paired but dont put box in till about sep 13th you will have eggs by oct thats a good time so ... up to u have fun also i would personally put two more pairs up on same day as u do these ones just in case things go wrong I agree with GB

As soon as you can go back and ask to be taught to crop feed. Also when trying to get meds or food into a birds beak some people forget to pay attention to where they are gripping the bird....squeezing accidentally around the crop area can force crop contents up and they can be swallowed again the wrong way or aspirated.....which may have occurred this time. For you to be happy and comfortable treating her you need to insist on helpful lessons from the vet. INSIST on being taught to crop feed......you really do need to know how.

Very pretty and very healthy looking birds too...........congratulations
