well as you all know i am getting an avery. but i want to know wether it would be best to just have budgies or whether i should mix and match birds or what i should do? soo if i was to have other birds in with budgies what other birds should i have with them?

 

now on a completly differnt subject ...

how many female budgies should i have and how many male budgies should i have?

 

well i hope you can give me some good advice as usual.

It really does depend how big an aviary you are likely to get Elise. Maybe you should discuss that with your folks first and let us know and then we should be able to make some good recommendations for you :hug:

well i know you could drive a large car into it easily lol but that just about all i know. my aunty used to have 70+ budgies in there. sorry ill get more information soon.

okay it sounds like it about the same as mine or even a little bigger :hug: You could happily put some budgies in there and even a few cockatiels if you liked. I have mostly budgies plus one tiel and quails in my big one. I used to have ten cockatiels in it with the budgies but they made too much noise so I gave them away and just kept the budgies and the tame tiel that belongs to my son. That's assuming no nestboxes of course :hap:

:hug: noo i ahve decided to only do closed breeding as i think colony breeding has too many problems ... but thats my opinion. i think it is fine to do colony breeding if you are experienced but in mycase .. :hap:. soo i think maybie cokateils and budgies. thanks mb

Hey I have a box here you can have if you like which I have already put wire on the front as I was turning it into a box to breed tiels in, just needs some doors cut in the sides and a nest box installed. We started making it when I still had the tiels and then decided to get rid of them so it was never finished.

 

(could be used to breed budgies in though I just don't have the space for it :hug: )

:hap: thank you! are you sure? i would love to :hug: this helpes me greatly mb. maybie when i come to visit you i can take it then if its okay still ?

It's just sitting there at the moment and it's not going anywhere so whenever is fine :hug: As you can see from the photo it's fairly bulky so you would need a biggish boot to put it in, I'm not not positive it would fit in a normal boot.

I have quails, cockatiels and a dove in my avairy with budgies and they all get along quite well. I have read that peachfaces (lovebirds) get very territorial and will kill other birds, so dont go putting peachfaces in their. Goodluck.

:hug: thanks

well i better get to bed ill talkto you guys tomorrow goodnight.

heyy mb what size is it?
