Thanks again

I'm going to a budgie breeder's house tomorow. He breeds english show budgies and has over 300.

He is going to sell me a pair of budgies(in breeding condition). I would like some grey/blue/yellow baby budgies from the pair I buy from him. What 2 colours should the pair be so that they dont breed to many greens and they breed alot more grey/blues? What colour should thwe male be and what colour should the female be?

 

Thanks

Well as long as you buy birds with white faces you will not get any greens.

I've put a pair of birds from my avairy in another breeder cage. They have all the necessary food. Their is 2 perches in the cage and one is attached to the nesting box. The male spent all day yesterday flying up to the nesting box and down to the perch, He just kept doing that constantly. Is that normal behaviour? Is he flirting with the female? The female sits their and does nothing.

Please post

Just another thing, can a breeding cage be to big?1 of Mine is 1 meter long, 40 centermeters high and 1 meter wide. The other is 1 meter high, 1 meter wide, 40 centimeters long. The reason Im wondering is because my birds show no interest in eachother, maybe this is because they have so much room to move that they would rather fly around than breed? Their is 3 perches in each cage and food dishes hanging on the wire.

Thanks all

I wouldn't worry if you only put them in there today, they will need some time to ge interested in each other.

My camera is broken... sorry

The green pair of budgies I have are alot more "into eachother" than my other pair. The green ones sit on/in the nesting box alot so somthing could be going on their

The other pair I have rarley go near eachother, I went outside before (its 8:20 pm) and the yellow budgie was on the top perch and the gray was on the bottom.

Oh well, all I can do is hope.

Ps: I also heard that you can tell a budgies age by its eyes. Can someome please explain how to tell or send me a link to a site that does?

Thanks for the help everyone

Sorry but i can only help you on finches in an aviry with budgies.

No, you shouldnt, I had 4 finches in my aviary and the budgies would grab them by their wings and ruin their nests.

I removed mine straight away and put them in a seperate aviary and swaped them with 2 lovebirds.

 

Quails: I have 2 quails in my aviary, my aviary is covered with bark and long grasses, they love rolling in the bark and hiding in the grass. I give them fresh water, fresh food and even veges, They are definetley male and female and i have had them just under a year. They are always calling each other and sleeping togeyher, but theyve never had eggs, so sorry but i have no idea. Its a mystery
