Budgie Books
These are the two that I have. My Dad got them for me when I started expressing intrest in breeding and having more then one Budgie. I like them as they are very simple so you don't have to worry about not knowing the lingo etc... but do give you a great amount of detail and lots of pictures. One of them has a Borders stickers on the back. The Proper Care of Budgies - Dennis Kelsey-Wood ISBN 0-86622-192-1 and Budgerigars By Georg A Radtke - ISBN 0-87666-984-4

He is a really nice bird. I am almost tempted to say "nope sorry he flew away right into my aviary" I have been trying to get a good look at his eyes but he needs a hair cut! But you know what is funny sitting here listening to harley he is making the stranges sounds and hanging from the top of his cage you would think he was only a year old not 8!

okay so what normally would have taken me a few hours took me almost two days! this is where I am up to I moved DQ and Fiji to the patio cage, yes I know that means that they had about 14 days quarra rather then 30 but all their tests came back clean and I really needed to get Harley inside and after buying the aviary and my $5000 hospital bill I don't have the cash to get another indoor cage. Here is the renovated patio aviary I know it really only has to do them untill the weekend or maybe a bit longer depends on when my outdoor aviary gets up. I tried to have one section which is play based and the other which is sleep eat and get away from the others based if that makes sense. This is Harley and Mozzie inside the study. Harley seems happy. I know that sounds strange but he is all chirpy and bobbing. Also went to the breeder that I know and ended up with two more birds. Yes I got Lemon and Lime! Will post pictures of them when I pick them up over the weekend. Seems that the cock (Lime) is not the best Normal Green so breeders do not want to take the pair. Lemon (a Lutino) is really nice but as she is super bonded with Lime breeders do not want to take her as she might not bond with another cock.... Ivan gave them to me! *does a happy dance* I also took another one off his hands for melbournebudgie a Cock nic named "mixer" He is supose to be a Lutino but I am thinking he is a pied. But hey free birds! Ivan likes me he runs the local pet store and I am always in there getting stuff including the little boy I look afters Dragon, his sisters mouse and his younger brothers fish and all the **** that goes with them. I also get all my dog supplies and my budgie supplies through him. A picture of Mixer I am going with he is a pied not a Lutino but I can't get a good look at his eyes to see if they are red and forgot to do this when I had him in hand to move him into the cage from the box.

Aviary Needed
She offered me the branch for free and part of me wants to take it but the other part can just can seem to agree as I think it has about 5 years of birdy poo on it! Cleaning will also be a nightmare I have a bunch of branches that I have collected over the past few months and dad is thinking of cutting down one of his gum trees at home so I can have part of that.

Thats what I thought. I really would love a blue from harley (as he is a blue) but to tell you the truth I think his breeding days are far far behind him! what do you think I would get out of Blue and Flame (see sig) Blue is a Colbot Res Pied and Flame is a Lutino (or so I have been told)?

okay so I am moving everything around. The last few days Harley (who normally avoids me) has been crawling out of his cage when I am changing their water and onto my shoulder or trying to tuck in under my shirt. So I have figured that he is cold he is near 8 years old and I just think this winter is to cold for him so he is now going to winter in the study with me. The breeding pair that I got from melbournebudgie have shown no interest in breeding so I am going to move them to the outside cage. I think I will bring Mozzie in with him as they seem to fight like mad but sort of the couple that they can beat the **** out of each other but no one else can. will do Mozzie good to have a little more human interaction I think. I am not planning on breeding from them so will block up the box but more I don't think he will handle being in here on his own. The other thing I am doing is hopefully picking up my new aviary this weekend. If everything goes to plan then I am going to see about buying Lemon and Lime she is a Lutino female and he is a normal green (I think) they are this cute couple that a local breeder has but no one wants cause they are paired up and older I just know that they are going to end up being split up and they are such the cute old couple who keep trying to have a clutch but are not allowed Which will take me up to 8 birds and I will also bring Lemon and Lime in during the spring so they can finally have a family. Oh any idea on what a Lutino and a Normal Green will produce also what will a Blue and a Normal green produce. I am still working out genetics. So yeah I just thought people might like an update. Will post pictures of the move around when I get a chance. have to update my sig with all my new babies.

Yes she did we think may prop it up so it ends up in a near A frame. I think the issue is the roof but Dad says that it will fit.

Take The Budgie Quiz

Aviary Needed
Nope nope just sent her back an e-mail saying that I want it just worried about the size of it on a 6x4 trailer. Newan brought his back on what looked to be a 6x4 but the lady is going to take it apart so a bit worried about how we are going to make it fit! Now I am getting excited and worried.

Aviary Needed
I may take some of her tiels and see if I want to keep them or pass them on to other people. Yes and a really good scrub that is what it is going to get over the weekend. She offered me the branches but I think it will be better if I put my own in and set it up the way I want to.Might get it up and running and clean and then work out flooring at a later date. I might have to move my budgies inside into the breeding cage till I get it all set up. Oh god how do I know that this is going to end up being alot of work! Pictures will be posted once I get everything sorted. My only fear is that it will not fit my trailer and then we have to start the whole thing again! Fingers crossed for me!

I Think This Is Great...
When I worked as a counseller then I saw the inside of Barwon prision, outside of freedom they had some really great things. They even could have jobs to make minimum wage and when they left they had a bank account???? Some times I think that some prisions are easier then living on the outside work it's sad but true.

Aviary Needed
I might have purchased one! Here are the pictures she sent me It's in my price bracket, it's not 100% what I want but it will do for now. Also I know the lady has the teils and about 11 budgies to get rid of so if anyone wants them let me know I can pick them up when i pick the aviary up and we can work out a drop off. Please keep your fingers crossed for me

Dowel poles are a sore spot with people some say yes some say no. Mine have one dowl pole, natural branches and some rope ones as well. In my breeding cage I have dowl poles and nothing else but my guys will not be int he breeding cage for extended periods of time. As for the gum leaves I know mine will not touch blue gum but pretty much anything other then that they love, oh and bottle brush. If there is a gum they should stay clear of I would like to know.
