Hi, I am not new to budgies but new to breeding them, I have had budgies for some time but have never really been interested in breeding them, but since my mum starting her breeding back up after not doing for over 6 years, I have been extremely interested so I have decided to pair up some of mine and begin breeding with them. I have also, over the last few weeks been researching all about budgie color genetics and mutations, I think I am slowly getting my head around it all but I know I still have a lot to learn. I have got some colony birds but then also some in breeding boxes, currently I have got 5 hens sitting on 5 or more eggs and about 3 or 4 more hens looking like sitting. I have posted some photos of my budgies for people to look at.

Hi Tonilee

welcome to the site

I started this year colony breeding , do your self a favour DON'T as it is too heart breaking to see the chicks that have been killed by other birds , I have just gone through it yesterday and lost 5 chicks and I have put my other birds in breeding boxes .

But that is only my opinion but I know a lot of others on this site agree with me .

 

 

Your birds are all beautiful by the way.

Hi and welcome, you have some gorgeous budgies.

Thanks for the tips, I am only learning that's why I came on here so you lovely people can help me out:) I have majority of them in breeding cages. I have 4 other aviarys, I have got 3 pairs in 2 of the cages, and 2 pairs in each of the others, I supply each cage with redgum logs and breeding boxes and always have more nests than pairs of birds. A lot of the birds shown are not bred from and are not going to be bred from some will be sold as I have a great deal of males without partners. I havn't had any chicks hatch out in the aviarys yet so I am not sure what is going to happen but for the moment they seem settled so I will leave them be for now, but if my chicks get attacked by another bird I will certainly take your advice and seperate them all.Thank you all again for your comments and advice :)Also would anyone like to help me out with some of the colors as I am only just learning about the genetics and mutations.

 

 

Wow lovely birds, I'd like to know some info on what the mutations are as well! no.2 and 3. (above) picture especially will keep an eye out for answers.
