Posted May 23, 200817 yr Hello fellow budgie buddies.... Well, im new to this forum, but you'll all seamed like such a lovely bunch, i had to join in. I am 16 years, and live in Australia. I have been breeding budgies since i was 11. I started with four birds, breeding albino's, lutinos and normal pieds. From theire my flock just kept increasing untill, i had about 12 breeding birds, and numerous babies at different stages. My flock was going strong and i was breeding peids, cinnamons, spangles, lutinos, halequins, and the list gos on..... then one horrible night about three years ago, a ten foot carpet snake got into my avery and consumed all but two of my budgies. putting my budgie breeding on tempory hold. Just recently i have started to get back into breeding them again. it has been wonderful. i have purchased two normal pied hens, a clearwing skyblue male, and a grey cinnimon male. the clearwing and one of the peids, have just recently had their first lot of chicks. the result was one normal peid and two violet cinnimons. they are very cute... anyway, cant wait to join in the forums and learn more about budgies, and hear about all the other fanciers out there. Cheers, Jade
May 23, 200817 yr Hi Jade, That is awful about the hungry carpet snake. Welcome to the forum. If you are interested in breeding exhibition budgerigars there are clubs on your side of town that you can get involved in and show your birds. Cheers, DrNat.

May 23, 200817 yr Author hey guys, id love to post sopme piccies of my birds, but i don't kknow how to. could someone please tel me? As for joining a club, id love that too but im alittle stretched for time at the moment. you see im currently finishing my final year of highschool, and alongside that i train and show horses. we currently have 12 horses and i compete them every weekend, so breeding budgies might have to stay a hobby for a little while longer, well just untill i finish school and have a little motre time on my hands. cheers Jade Edited May 23, 200817 yr by Jade
