Yep, well after these guys have their first clutch will be removing the breeding boxes till next year now we've desided after reading the comments, They arn't fighting over the boxes which is good but to prevent the babies in couple months time trying to breed, so that probably be best, This question has been on my mind for ages, I hope someone could help me with it, What attracts one budgie to another?

Yeah i agree, i was alittle too blunt about some of the things i said, but i was just kinda refering to exercise when people make small breeding boxes etc, anyways i've taken on what you and norm have said, i spoil them and clean every couple of days, always checking up on them and making sure things are okay, atm one of the females that has a 3 week baby is kinda telling the other 2 new females to back off but it's nothing too serious but im always keeping an eye on them. I give them honey sticks seed, apple tree branches (they go crazy over them) and normal seed and bath water well as normal water. I keep them occupied and some small toys in there. Thanks for the feeback always good to have a second opinion.

i have 13 budgies we currently have 5 breeding boxes and got 2 new females, long story, so short version. 7 females 5males We have 2 males in a small cage atm till we get the jail Aviary 6ft tall by 3ft wide because they were fighting over a very sexy yellow budgie (excuse the language) even if i was a budgie i'd go for her :budgiedance: we not into the breeding game, we love it if they do and if they dont, long as they're happy but we dont resort to small cages, feel its mean cruel and not natural, i know some breeders do it for color combinations and sporting etc. but yeah The main Aviary is 9ft long 6ft tall, and going to be attaching the jail Aviary part to the main eventually, Was wondering how many budgies can i have in the 6x9 with the breeding boxes till its over crowded? ill be posting pictures of the Aviary when i can get the camera charged we have a huge backyard so any suggestions, would be nice and info about Aviary/breeding boxes would be great and more females than males or more males than females or equal amounts etc, thanks again you guys are great

Nicely said. couldnt have said better myself, i was just reading this topic you stole my words

Whoa congratulations on the babies, The foster parents look so beautiful speicaly the yellow with the pinch of green

No Scaly face looks entirely different to a brown crusty cere. And scaly face does not fix itself somehow. Yep true.This is a picture of white and blue budgie we had that did have really bad scaly. http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb306/m...o/budgie051.jpg We had 2 treatments of dettol and cotton once per 9days, thats how he turned out This picture was taken just alittle over 2 weeks after and 3days after the 2nd treatment A Old bloke told me something about what Nerwen said about the cere changing colour back to pink flesh if not in breeding condition. But yeah never took it on board http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb306/m...o/budgie013.jpg they're both males it's so hard to tell with Australian pied budgies But smart breeders dont seem to have any trouble telling the difference

Nope. I'll take a picture tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies. And very friendly answers . "she" often feeds the other mothers alot thats why i was just interested in getting answers. she sits on top of the breeding box like the other males. Thats why i asked She has the behaviour of a male budgie without the mating that i haven't witnessed so yeah

Hi, I'm new to this place. Just a quick question I have this pied budgie i have had for acouple of years. It's cere, went a really dark crusty brown then acouple months later it had suddenly vanished!, Is she a he?. You be the judge.
