heyy, most of you probbaly know me but to anyone who doesnt my name is Elise , i am 14 years of age. after ALOT of researching and time it has finally come to the day where i will breed my first pair :rofl: last night i caught them both from the avairy and placed them into their breeding cage. i had to start breeding now as the hen ( feathers) was laying off perch so i though ti might as well start breeding now. the hens name is feathers she is a albino hen masking opaline and the cocks name is sunshine ( because he is always playing in the sun) he is a yft2 or golden face fellow blue based cock split to clear body?

well if you guys are interested in pictures and daily updates follow this thread lol.

anyways so that is my good news . xx Elise xx

How exciting! I hope it goes smoothly for you. Well, you know where to come to get all the info and help you need :rofl:

That's great news, love the names of your budgies, Good luck :rofl:

sorry i did promise on photos and updates each day but my sister is in hospital so not spending much time on site as i am using all the time i have with sister and spare time for birds sorry for inconvienience.

oh dear. I hope you sister is okay

thanks liv. she will be alright, i hope.

anyways back to the birds , yesternight i collected a new pair as well.

spangle cinwing skyviolet- hen, her name is cinderella but cindy for short

yft1 skyblue nomal- cock, his name is opal fire.

 

and dont worry! pictures are coming as soon as i can possibly tonight

the second pair ( opal fire and cinderrella) have taken most interest into breeding box, i have seen them mate multiple times so fingers crossed. but as for the other pair (feathers and sunshine) they barley even talk to each other which is interesting as they were laying eggs in the avairy maybie a shock of a new enviroent?

i was shocked today when i went in the avairy most of the budgie were landing on me and going on my finger very cute!

 

what kind of vegetables would be best ? they are getting cod liver and wheat germ oil, mineral/iodine block,cuttle fish + i have given them brown rice and vegetables and native grasses but i want to know what would be best ?

they are soo cute cant wait to se what turns out does anyone have any answers to the questions above also what genetics should i get in the babies?

what kind of vegetables would be best ?

 

I give my breeders a variety of different veggies, however i have noticed a consisitant selection of favorites. Silver beet, carrot and corn. Depending on how you prepare the food you can disguise other veggies in amongst their favorites etc...

hmm thanks liv i will try that today how do you prepare your do you cook or leave fresh?

Fresh vegies are best.

cool thanks for the advice

no news yet but first pair is interested in nesting box now so lol its the waiting game

love is in the air in my breeding cabnits regurgetating food, mating , egg bumm all very exciting! if your interested ill post up some pictures tomorrow.oh and i cant forget the MASSIVE POO!

just a question, i know budgies are suppost to lay eggs 1-4 days apart but how do you know if she has stoped laying ? is it that they have no egg bum? lol i guess im just a worried parent . cinderella laid on sunday and there has been nothing since. i check everysecond day so i dont belive im over stressing her. and i only check when she is out of the box to defecate, which for her is every 20 miniutes and may i remind you of the MASSIVE POO i really hope all goes well :bliss: fingers crossed the little egg hatches in 18-21 days. thanks for reading my post xx Elise xx

Not 1-4 days apart but every second day.

She has stopped when there are no more eggs after two days apart.

that makes no sence then. because cinderellahas a massive eggbum poos are big. maybie shes just special. and no i am sure she is not egg bound

Edited May 20, 200915 yr by LILBABYBUDGIES
