Posted April 6, 200817 yr Hi All, I am pretty new to budgies, having just brought a new one home yesterday. We hope to tame him and keep him as a household pet. I'm not particularly interested in breeding at this stage, although I do find the genetics interesting as I have a background in biology, and some of the colour varieties are very beautiful, although I still like the old wild type budgies. I have a quite a lot of experience keeping and breeding Australian native fish, and the goals there are a bit different. We usually try to stay as true to the wild type as possible, and cull any mutations that might show up. Anyway, I look forward to learning from you all, and hopefully sharing some stories about our new budgie (Bernie). I posted a question about him in the pet budgies section. Cheers, Scott

April 7, 200817 yr Hello and welcome Very glad to have you here and congrats on your new friend I'd also like to hear about the breeding of native fish, so feel free to post about them in off topic also
April 7, 200817 yr Author Thanks for the welcome guys. I'll have to work on some photos of Bernie the budgie. He's still feeling pretty shy. I've just learned that he is an olive green dominant pied budgie. . . As for the fish related stuff, I could go on for hours. I'll get a few photos together and post them in the off topic area.
