Ian

its amazing all the different things there are to know, ill keep them in there till i build another cage over the weekend It would be to hard to modify that cage.. Thanks for all your advice

i just modified my cage and put the breeding box on the outside and moved daph and jack from the wieros cage into it as far as the grit goes i was told it helps when laying eggs, with the calcium, but if no good then i wont use

there are 6 in that avery.. the wieros are in another avery and the lorikeet is in its own cage, ill remove the nesting boxes today cheers

Thankyou, here are some more pics

i have had them for about 5 months now. She seems to lay 5 to 6 eggs then after a while rolls them out then lays more. They seem very happy but as what has been said befor i will move them to there own little bungalow for quiet time I went and bought grit and shells today which im sure will help Thanks again for all your help

well its not the best picture but you can see the 3 females on the left on 3 males on the right. I have 2 more in the other cage but they will be moved into another cage tomorrow for breeding purposes I have 8 budgies now, 4 wieros and 1 rainbow lorikeet

Its great to wake up and hear them all chirpy and happy hehe i know what you mean about dr nick, i htought the same thing when i posted it

Hi there..im Ian. Im very new to all this bird stuff and this seems like a great place to meet people and find out stuff I will take some pics of my little buddies and post them asap... Its a great site you guys have and look forward to learning from you all

thankyou for your replies, i was given all these birds so im very much a newbe... I was told the budgies are about 17 months old.. What size cage or aviary is recomended for budgies??? i have one thats .5 square and 1.2 high, would that be okay??? thankyou

Hi there.. Im new to here and would really like some help if its possible I have a breeding pair of budgies, they're very affectionate and she keeps laying about 5 eggs, then after a few weeks they're doin the deed again and shes rolling out the eggs to make room for new ones. They are in a little aviary, about 1.2 x 1.2 by 1.8 high. They are well fed and seem very healthy. There is also 4 wiros in the cage that breed as well, they have no troubles in laying and bringing up there babie. Do i need to seperate the budgies and give them there own cage??? or is it they just dont want little ones?. Any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou
