Well yesterday I paired my budgies up and put them in their breeding cages after having a nice long rest in their avairy.They almost immediately started inspecting the nest boxes etc so hopefully I can soon report the arrival of some eggs!! They are all in excellent breeding condition so I have my fingers crossed!!

No secret Jimmy, just good luck I guess!! I give them lots of fresh fruit and veg, Calcivet in their water, gum leaves(which they love!) and thats about it! I only breed them twice a year and they've all had a nice long break so they were rearing to go (if you get my drift! ;)
