    Miss Teddies a sky blue spangle. Mr Teddies a Cobalt Dominate Pied. I can see that these 2 budgies will be spangles.
  2. Hey I am sure these are girls but for some reason I think because they are different to other budgies I might have sexed them wrong. Am I right about the sky-blue Cinnamon being female?

    yeah I built a frame at the bottom of my cage and put wire mesh on the bottom of it. So after making the frame I flipped it over and put a layer of plastic then a layer of mesh. then a layer of plastic. then covered it with pine needles as my floor, poo sticks to the pine needles. budgies don't even wanna chew on anything...
  14. treat all your birds with ivermectin. You go to your local vets and they will give you a small jar of it. You dab it on with a childs paint brush, on the back of their neck.
  15. I clip pegs on mine. But I also recommend make my doors tighter. Hard to explain I will post pictures how to do this tomorrow One of my budgies did this when I was 7 but my mum caught him lucky she was home.

    hey sounds like they don't like each other elle. You should put some pictures up in your own thread Then we can suggest which one to breed with.
  21. bird clubs are your best bet. http://cairnsbirds.blogspot.com.au/ http://cairns.yalwa.com.au/Bird-Breeders/31602/
  22. I have had a few suspect boys turn out to be girls. So I try be careful
  23. First off if you really wanna breed them you do not try tame them while you are breeding. You would be disturbing the process. Budgies are going to bite no matter what you do when you pick them up. I have lots of females they break my skin. I normal use a tea towel to pick them up. I pretty much know nothing on the taming side of things as I haven't the time to be taming them. Maybe you could start a topic in this forum Kinda Hijacking this Topic. if I had administrator powers I would Split what u just wrote into a new topic.
