Posted March 9, 200817 yr okay so I popped into the pet shop today and took a look at the budgies in there... some of them had tags on them and some didn't. Just wondering, are all tags from the same year the same color all over Australia or is each Club different? And where do I find out who the breeder and eventually what its pedigree is from the information on the tag?
March 9, 200817 yr Sorry I can't help you, I just buy the split rings from ebay. If I remember correctly all the rings in all the states are the same color for each year and you'd have to ring the budgerigar club to find out the information on the rings.
March 9, 200817 yr Each colour of legring is the different year it was rung. For instance gold ring is a 2006 bird. Green ring is a 2007 bird and this years ring is black for 2008. If you get a breeders code off the legring and then go through the appropriate budgerigar council for that state, they may ne able to supply you the breeders name. If the breeder has kept good records ( and if they ring the chicks they usually do ) ....you should be able to get the birds history. Some breeders selling their culls to petshops arent much interested as they consider those birds well gone and out of sight. You will find that buying directly from a breeder you meet through the clubs, you will get a very good deal pricewise buying a few at a time. The breeders are happier to help you with the birds history and they will mostly stand behind the bird they sell you. Petshop culls are sold to a petshop for a reason usually.
March 9, 200817 yr Hi Jimmy, I put the colour codes in another post earlier tonight, but here it is again just for you 2000 - Gold 2001 - Green 2002 - Black 2003 - Red 2004 - Blue 2005 - Purple 2006 - Gold 2007 - Green 2008 - Black Feathers.

Thanks for your help though guys, I know I'm slow in getting a budgie but I just want to get it right the first time. I know you guys understand that. I personally think its admirable the way you are researching and doing your "homework" like this BEFORE you get your first budgie. Shows caring and dedication.

June 4, 200816 yr I don't know ask the manager at the pet shop :yelling: but don't make them mad shortcuts Edited out your shortcuts. Please do not use shortcut language on the forum apart from a few select acceptable shortcuts as found in our rules section. Shortcuts are confusing to most of our international members and also some of us "older generation" types Edited June 4, 200816 yr by KAZ

December 4, 200816 yr JB are you bored ? You will get into cobwebs going through the old stuff in the "basement"
December 4, 200816 yr Jimmy when I started I didn't know the difference between a dilute and a recessive pied.
December 4, 200816 yr I only got half an hour of sleep last night. I have no idea why. It made me sad and grumpy. I got really frustrated with this cheap radio thing because it kept dying on me, so I smashed it (in my defence it was already kinda broken) . I'm not having a good morning Daz, you can't quit the forums can you? You're addicted! Edited December 4, 200816 yr by Sailorwolf
