I agree with Robyn

I think you will find it is necessary to keep good normals to maintain type or size as very few breeders will breed albino to albino etc and use splits from good normals. Most albino breeders use greys as their normals for splits. Same with most other types they need good normals to put through them.

Off Topic Forum Notice NOTICE Questions regarding health and support etc. of other animals besides budgies will be removed. However, feel free to post about your other pets with images etc.

Somewhere on our forum we have a topic for making one of those collars

Looking well I agree with your decisions

Welcome to our forum

If you read my post you will see I answered the sex with the first word of that sentence......anything else was further queries.

Oh well.............here is Stanley who has found his pet sized budgie swing now that the grand daughters and I made him last night

She appears underaged

This isnt a test please feel free to post advice

Well, here's a topic right out of left of centre. :D Kaz is in a position of asking for all your advice and pointers to help my family's new pet budgie. I am okay with advice re show budgies and most general budgie stuff, but when it comes to pet budgies who may need to be tamed or wing clipped then it really isn't my field of experience. THE STORY IS......... There was a budgie in my grand daughters classroom and each weekend a child gets to take the class budgie home. That class budgie is a yellowface skyblue opaline cinnamon girl budgie called TILLY. I have met TILLY AND after each child gets to take the class budgie home and back to school again the host family has become so besotted with the class budgie that each child is now a budgie owner. :D So..........my family, daughter, son in law and three little grand daughters after having the class budgie at home have decided to get themselves a budgie for a pet. So, ......I have provided a perfect cage ( large ) and my husband went " budgie shopping " and selected the prettiest baby budgie he could find for them all and now we are at the point of delivering the said little guy to the family he's about to live with........tomorrow. STANLEY as named by my eldest grand daughter ( almost 5 ) is off on a trip tomorrow to meet his new family having been looked after by us for the past week. Here is Stanley and here showing he needs a custom made swing more his size than show budgie sized What I was hoping you would all do here in this topic........is give the advice needed for a familys first ever pet budgie...with taming info or links to good articles in our forum........advice re wing clipping etc and anything you can think of that they can come here and refer to and read up on....... a kind of pet budgie topic and little project for everyone. I will refer my family to this topic and they can check in and see whats what and who knows may even join the forum and add some of their experiences with cute little Stanley Cheers kaz

English budgies reside in England. Here they are referred to as SHOW BUDGIES, CLUB RUNG BUDGIES OR SHOW TYPE OR EXHIBITION TYPE BUDGIES.

Why the nestbox ?

I agree with Finnie. A bird should not be free in the house whilst there is no supervision

We actually have topics already on here with members other pets

The happy hut is seen as a possible nesting site.............suggest you remove it totally. These things are a man made invention and totally not necessary for budgies at all. Budgies sleep perching not hiding in snuggle huts or happy huts. All it will do is promote a possible nesting site scenario and the fights you have your birds experiencing right now. Toss the Happy Hut and you will have peace again.

Make sure there are no budgies in that aviary with the nestboxes that are UNDER 12 months of age or you will be force breeding them. If any are underaged remove them to another aviary. Read this article too http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?showtopic=28294&hl= to realise the pitfalls of colony breeding. You dont mention how many nestboxes... ? You will need at least twice as many as you have pairs of breeding aged birds. How big is your aviary ? Can you post some pictures ?

I think it would be fine as long as its painted or sealed and budgies can't usually chew ceilings anyway
