Thanks soooo much everyone, I will have a look at those sites , I just really want to work out why a spangle is called a spangle and so on, because 2 of my budgies are very similar looking one is more grey than it is blue and the other is more blue, but other than that they are very similar but I am sure they are called completely different things. I'm a bit like a sponge at the moment hahahaha trying to absorb as much info as possible

Thanks lovey, I don't plan on breeding her any time soon, was just curious, because you hear so many different stories, the woman that I actually got her from was breeding them and I am sure she is breeding them as soon as they come into condition no matter how old they are, because I asked her something about breeding at the time and she pointed out another girl that she had there (a lutino I think) in a cage that she said was 3 months old ish and said to me that she was ready now, glad I didn't take her info and just run with it, I want to do as much research as possible before I even think about it

okay I have to ask, I would love to know more about what colour is called what and why? because I am reading alot of posts about colours what there called and I'm just left baffled :grbud: also because I eventually plan on getting more budgies or breeding and I would like to know more about this type of thing. so if anyone could direct me to some great info on what's called what and why, or even just help me here I would really really appreciate it :ausb:

okay so if I have a budgie that has a crusty brown cere and when I got her was told she was 6 months old and would now be 8-9 months old, does that mean she may be older than first thought or just that she is an early bloomer? :grbud:

Probably have more luck with custom's putting lovey in the flat pack than the budgies

(Laughing out loud) what a little cutie your bobby is Riebie OMG I love the front on view of him flying that is just georgeous his wings look like a butterfly!!

:ausb: :sad: @ sending them to the US in a flat pack..... thats funny lovey

I love the shade of yellow it has, oh and GREAT name :hap: I can never think of good name's thats why I usually leave it up to my 4yr old :hap: I want more budgies to

they are all so adorable!!! can't wait to see baby number 5 fledged :bluebudgie:

oh feather's ((((hugs)))) thats so sad, I really feel for you! as for the stopping buying budgies, I seem to have the same trouble so have stopped going to pet stores that have them again so so so sorry for your loss!!

Thanks Karen, I'm still trying to find out as much info as I can on breeding, I would love to see a picture of your design if you have one

nathan1 I just wanted to point out that this forum is about budgie's in general not just baby budgies, hence why it is called budgie community forum, not baby budgie community forum..... Not that I didn't enjoy your pics karen

Oh what a fantastic photo, i love tiger's!!! I would love to go in there an cuddle them........... so long as they were asleep and not hungry

I have no idea where to post this question so its posted here. are fake christmas tree's toxic to budgie's and is there anyway to tell?? thanks in advance

I have 2 budgies that look exactly like that they can't fly they had pulpitis when they were chicks (which I believe is also known as french molt) so I would have to agree with sailorwolf. I am no expert though but I just wanted to say they look exactly the same. my 2 are perfectly happy they are the best of friends and cute as anything

okay maybe I did sound a little harsh, but I was just genuinely wondering. as everyone has said this is a great place to get help, I am a fairly new member myself and have found this site and the people involved very friendly and helpful. I agree with what everyone has said in that it would be a great idea to have your birds checked out. Hope I didn't offend that was not my intention

I'm no expert, but I am curious to know, and please don't take this as me having a go at you, but why didn't you seperate them or do something when they were fighting so much, especially when you say they were endless battles??

:)

I would just like to say AGAIN how much I would LoOoOvVvEeE to have baby number 5 I have also been asking santa (aka Hubby) for some budgies, but he just pulls a face at me and walks away, much like this -------> hahaha

I probably shouldn't have looked either

just curious, is a budgie with splayed feet treatable? if so how is it usually treated? if not would a budgie be able to survive with splayed feet?

oh they are all so cute I would love to have baby 5, if you have any trouble finding a home for him/her (which I'm sure you wouldn't) if your not keeping them yourself let me know hehe

thats the cutest picture!!!!

Great pics bubbles, you have such georgeous birdies, my budgies are fans of corn aswell

He is doing really well lovey :offtopic:, I have finally made some progress with his little friend (the girl with him dora) so they both come out the cage for a walk around the lounge room every night, they both can't fly and I think they know it because they are still rather jumpy even in the cage, i'm guessin there that jumpy because they have to be more aware of predator's than a bird that can fly, thats what I think anyway don't know if they actually think like that. anyway yeah they are doing really well, they look so cute walking around my lounge room together where one goes the other follow's, boots ( the boy ) he steps up better than dora but as soon as he does she is rather happy to do it aswell. they still occassionally try to fly of my hands if something startles them but usually I don't have them to high of the ground so they don't get hurt there great I love em to peices, oh and winter and stormy hehe
