hey, ive got another question to ask but i'll make it quick

 

recently after reading on the forums that sometimes breeders can breed parents with the offspring which can cause illness in budgies, i was wondering if theres anyway to tell if you're looking at a bird with any defects, is there are way to know? I'm not so sure now about buying birds from pet shops in perth just incase the birds were bred with their parents. Another question are there any good places in Perth to buy budgies from that are actually looked after and kept in good condition?

Contact your local budgie club and look around at a few breeders on their list - you can view their aviaries, ask about their feeding/breeding/bird management and see what colours are available before purchasing. Most breeders are well aware of the bloodlines of their birds, and a lot will have records following the generations of breeding.

Dean is right, and besides there are a lot of scoundrels out there selling dodgy birds. Clubs give you great sources of knowledge, comradeship, and sources of birds. Give me your location and I can help advise further.

I agree with Kaz. Buy from breeders. If you choose birds from their cages, then you stand a good chance of getting healthy birds. No breeder is going to want to expose their birds to sick birds, so they will not have these in the cages.

 

When I went to Perth in January, Kaz was wonderful in regards to budgies. I had actually not planned on getting many, but came home with 29, and all but 2 from breeders.

Address is Bassendean Community Hall Old Perth Road Bassendean.............Time ? around 11am onwards. If there are for sale birds you have to get in quick. They will be show breeders culls.....ones that may or may not make the grade as a show bird. Anyone can attend.

great bird products table there too and it would save you a lot of money by buying at club prices rather than birdshops.
