    thought i might introduce my birds . they don't all have names but my flock has grown quite quickly recently . ive got animals of all sorts , dogs , fish , horses and of course budgies . must be the way ive been brought up being surrounded by so many . anyhow love the site and here are a few of my feathered friends . not show birds by any means but i think they are great anyway .
  4. this is the best i could do . i caught the budgie and ahd it in my hand while attepted to take some photos - then the battery went flat ! this budgie didnt bite very hard and is pretty sociable with the 5 other birds in its cage , ( 2 hens and 3 boys ) and the cere is starting to lok puplish/brown
  5. thanks there is great information there and sure to be very helpful though i hope i wont need it . this pair laid eggs in the bottom of the cage in feb this year (not planned ). 8 eggs all up and only one hatched which i thought was great as i was of the opinion none would make it . this time they have a nesting box and have been getting spoilt so im hoping for more than one bub ! i will update on how things went , and will also candle the rest of the eggs when i check later too . thanks
  6. hello to all . i have a pair of budgies sitting on 7 eggs at the moment . im very excited as i can hear chirping coming from #1 egg first thing this morning , which is due to hatch today . how long now til it hatches ? and if it doesnt hatch how long til i should help the little jelly bean out ? when i checked the egg yesterday evening there was no chirping . this is my first real attempt at breeding but i dont want to get too carried away either .
  7. i bought this one from a breeder just fledged out of the nest probably about 3 weeks ago now . the cere still has a blue ring around it but i will get some better close up natural picks tomorrow . thanks for the help i would hate to end up trying to breed 2 hens together LOL :question:
  8. hi all im new to this and more confused about sexing my budgie by the cere colour . i bought this little one from a breeder as a baby boy ( about 9 weeks old now ) and i was happy by the cere colour this was the case . as you can see in the pics though the colour is going slightly brown . do boys do this before going blue or do i infact have a young hen ? im planning to breed from this bird when about 12 months old but would like to know the sex before i buy a partner for him/her ? hope these photos help , thanks i also think the pied is a young cock , is this right ?
