Wanted breeding cabinets 4 of the same. Need to be convertible for outdoor use. so I am planning on making a nice frame structure around them and covering with tin to weather them. as I don't have a shed to do my breeding in. I have seen this done and it works for him.

Thanks thats what I thought I had been reading. But wasn't sure. so ivermectin on the back of neck? Hope someone answers my above questions too but I suppose their health is more important than genetics

Awww so sad. I have had only 1 budgie. pass away not including my girlfriends sons.

I was wondering this the other day. when I had just 2 budgies, I left them with lots of food and then had my dad come check them. that was while i spent a week in melbourne. Then when we got back we spent one night at home so I topped it everything up and then we had to leave again to go away some where else. I'm sure they missed me but they was fine. Now I have a aviary I think I will have to get some good seed and water feeders. them honey blocks from woolies are cheap 2.40 for a big one. putting in a bunch of spinach I'm sure they wouldn't eat that in week.

(Shoot two birds with one click) both females in question. these 3 here the white 1 waiting to know sex I see a tint of blue on cere and it is lutino pretty positive. not sure what the greens are left to right female male. here is a album with more shoots. http://imageshack.us/g/1/9890019/ group photo

ended up at the vet I have got some of that ivermectin she said treat the budgies infected area's with it. But I am not liking the idea of it. Is there another way with invermectin?

Thanks for that yeah I knew about the mites, I have this pet shop mite stuff. that we used at my girlfriends place on one of her sons birds. not sure if it works or not it took ages for it to disappear off this other bird.

Can anyone here tell me what mutations my birds are. I think the white one is albino she has a tint of blue or grey hard to see. I'm unsure what the male is. Not sure what this male is, he has a really nice shiny blue on his rump and the female not sure.

Thanks all. Can you tell me what mutations my birds are. I think the white one is albino she has a tint of blue or grey hard to see. I'm unsure what the male is. Not sure what this male is, he has a really nice shiny blue on his rump.

I have 9 in the cage. I have 2 pairs that are about 1 - 2 years old. the rest are young ones. probably 7 months old. The two males that have partners are good friends, I have watched them interact is this a good sign? Also there is a lacey wing that hangs with a female that is partnered up, I'm guessing this is the females off spring cause the female is a lacey wing as well and well her partner likes him/her as well. This pair were in a breeding cabinet before I got them. I love watching them interact. Is there away to have my perches? I am using tree branches. My avairy is one of them quarter lawn sheds, where you gotta duck to go in.

Hey all. From LJ from northwest tas. Just thought I would stop by and say hello. Currently I'm trying to colony breed. I have seen it done around my area successful. lots of Nest boxes at same height is what I have noticed, have heard no bad stories so far. I have only read on here the bad that comes with Colony breeding. Hope someone can give me tips.

how much is it to build a nestbox? wouldn't mind replicating the ones I bought.
