Posted April 26, 200718 yr Hi everyone, I am new to BBC, joined a few days ago. My Name is Julie, I have been breeding Budgies for just over 3 years now, but between my partner and I we have had birds forever as he has a couple hundred racing pigeons, and about 20 Gloster Fancy Canaries, where's the budgies are his and mine but mainly mine, but he is very harsh on keeping the best which is good but it really hurts when you have to part with your favorite or cutest babies, But it is for the best as 18 months ago I decided to start showing them. We have always bred to improve, never breeding just anything. At the moment I have 12 little babies in four different nest, I did have 15 but I have lost 3 when they hatched. The oldest baby is 9 days and the youngest was born today. When I go into my aviaries and muck around most of my birds come and land on me, sit on my shoulder, head arm etc, it is quite pleasing. I need help I can't work out how to post a picture, could some please help as I have taken photos and now I am stuck. Cheers Julie Edited April 26, 200718 yr by Kaz

April 26, 200718 yr Hi Julie, I had to look up where Nathalia was when you posted the other day I can relate to keeping those "special" few birds that aren't up to par. I have more 'pet' budgies than show budgies at the moment, but after this round of breeding I will sell off all but the 'special' pet budgies I have. There are just some that are too much a part of the family Feathers.

Thanks Julie Hi Julie, I had to look up where Nathalia was when you posted the other day I can relate to keeping those "special" few birds that aren't up to par. I have more 'pet' budgies than show budgies at the moment, but after this round of breeding I will sell off all but the 'special' pet budgies I have. There are just some that are too much a part of the family Feathers. Yes if it was up to me I would have every bird I have bought and bred still here, but not to be. I had to part with my most beautiful Sky blue opaline cinnamon spangle hen out of a double factor white spangle which she died in the nest and I had to adobt the eggs out. The skyblue cinnmon hen was gorgous but very pale in colour and she had the most beautiful white head so I still think I should of kept her if not just to carry on her mothers genes but I do have 2 full brothers here and they are stunnibg too, I have won 1st place with them both, but the hen was smaller. Cheers Julie
April 26, 200718 yr Julie, if you want a reason to keep a few "special ones" say they are for future foster parents for the show budgies. Works for me Looking forward to seeing your flock. There's a few on this forum have many things in common with yourself.
