Thankyou Super Spangle i would appreciate more opinion on which aviary is better and how many budgies i can fit in them. i will most likey get aviary 2 as its closer to me. aviary 1 is like 110 kilometers plus away from me

hi guys just another quick update, the hen from PAIR 7 has laid another egg on the bottom of the cage i have decided to foster it out to PAIR 3. so pair 3 have now 3 eggs

thanks Finnie, i will give her a good chance to prove herself. Yesterday i put all the waste seed from all the other breeding cabinets in her cage to make to soft landing for the egg when she lays it. and just what it worked. I went in the bird room this morning and a found an egg on the bottom of the cage & it was not broken so i decided to foster it out to another pair. as i think 5 eggs is enough for her.

Hi guys i was wondering how many budgies can fit in these aviaries as i have a choice of two, with no nest boxes as i am breeding them in cabients. i would just use it as a holding can you guys tell tell me which one is better aviary Aviary 1 Aviary 2 Height : 1835 mm Height -1540 mm Width : 1245 mm Width 1500 mm Depth : 775 mm Depth 780 mm aviary 2 Aviary 1

Just another quick update the hen from Pair 3 has laid her second egg today.

Hey guys just another update, she laid another egg on the bottom of the cage . But luckly it did not brake, i have put it in the nestbox she is on 5 eggs so far . I think her problem with laying eggs on the floor is not fixable. what do you guys think ???.

Hey guys just another update, the hen from Pair 3 has laid her first egg, and the hen from Pair 7 is now on 5 eggs

maybe you are right there Nerwen. i think she has laid before and i think Mulley & Stafford got rid of her as she was laying eggs off the perch. she is a 2010 bird.

Tanks GB, Pair two i think the hen is not a lutino as her eye is not red i have tried pair 5 hen with pair 4 cock but they would not bound, pair 5 hen has red eyes would she be a lutino the rest of the pairs i will leave as they are bounded if do not start laying in the next two weeks i will then swap them around as you said. i will be getting more birds next month as me club (NEBS) is having a auction Thanks Taboo

Another update found another egg laid of the perch it was badly cracked. . i think she is beyond help. but she is still laying on the other 4 eggs. i think i have learnt lesson do not buy bird from pet shops as you do not know their background .

Hi guys here are my first pairs for 2011 please feel free to tell me what you think about my birds. do not be kind tell me what you think can somebody please tell me what mutation they all are, as i am not good with mutations this pair 1, the cock bird i think is a Ian Marshall bird as i was told by somebody as his ring says IAN 031 (SA) Pair 2 Pair 3 Pair 4 Pair 5 the yellow hen below has red eye Pair 6 Pair 7 Mulley & Stafford Hen bird

Went in bird room first thing this morning, I found she had laid another egg on the bottom of the cage. lucky it did not brake, i put it in the nest box. so far so good she is still laying on the eggs. i candle the other eggs in one i could see it has red veins so i think it is fertile.

I thought that too, she is still laying on the eggs 3 so far, yesterday i was in the birdroom feeding them greens (silver beet), & that hen was on the perch. the next thing i saw, she laid the egg right off the perch. the egg had no chance it broke. she has laid 5 so far, 1 eaten & 1 broke as she laid it.

The hen has laid another egg this morning, its going all fine so far no eaten eggs yet fingers crossed . only one thing i notice is that her poop is extremely large

<br />yes to early wait at least a week 7 days<br /><br /><br /><br /> Thanks for that information GenericBlue & thanks for the pm that will be very helpful in the future.

the hen is still laying on the eggs & has not eaten them yet. i candled the eggs today they were clear, is it too early to candle them she has been laying on the eggs since Friday the 13th ?

hi genericblue, i would to hear it so i will be looking forward to your pm

hi all again, My Spangle Opaline Light Green hen (Mulley & stafford bird) laid an egg on the 6/5, but she laid it on the bottom of breeding cabinet so i put it in the nest box. i checked up on her later that day & i found the egg missing, she had eaten it . so i though she was an egg eater and i was ready to sell her to a pet shop. on the 8/5 she laid another egg on the bottom of the cage (for safe keeping i was told i could keep it for 1 week before it to late to incubate it). on Friday the 13th of may she laid another egg, but this time in the nestbox and she was laying on it so i take the chance and put the other egg back and was still laying on the eggs last time i check today around 4pm. fingers crossed she will be i good mother and not eat the chicks when the eggs hatch (if fertile).

The club meeting went well it was full of information, the people there were so friendlly. and there was some nice birds on show, I joined NEBS & BCSA clubs

yeah it is the NEBS

I am going to my first budgie club meeting tomorrow night (wednesday night). and i will hopefully join.

thanks guys for the mutation

can anybody tell me what mutation she is ?
