Posted May 2, 200916 yr Hi all, I found your wonderful site this morning and as I have a few beaut budgies in my "flock" I thought this might be a good place to start as they are showing signs of breeding. It's also interesting to find out what other people are up to in the way of budgies. I also have 5 Indian Ringnecks, 2 Painted Firetail Finches (with 5 eggs due to hatch any day now) and a Rainbow lorikeet named Buddy. I may need your help to distinguish what type of budgies I have. I bought most of them as their colours were different and appealed to me. Some of them were living in petshops in terrible conditions. They are all happier now living with me and are growing feathers back and one (his name is Tilt) is straightening his head up. Well I will check out the site more and hope to get some advice soon.

May 2, 200916 yr Hi there. You say your budgies are showing "signs of breeding". They do that even if they arent old enough to. Be very sure they are of age before a nestbox goes anywhere near them. Edited May 2, 200916 yr by KAZ
May 2, 200916 yr Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to see some pics of your budgies Edited May 2, 200916 yr by Cory
May 2, 200916 yr Author This is Cornelius, Tilt and Ruffles Until yesterday, my yellow girl was in the box scratching around and just 'sitting' there. Last night I noticed an egg in there so she is sitting on that right now. She is over 1 year old but I hadn't noticed her being paired up with anyone. I introduced Cornelius and he was feeding her a couple of days ago. He has beed pulling the wood shavings out of her nest with his beak and scratching the entrance to her box with his feet to keep it clean. I thought maybe he has OCD or something. This is Chad (The Paddlepop Lion)I apologise for this last post, I am just learning to post pics here. Edited May 2, 200916 yr by lynneski
