Finally Got Here

Featured Replies

Posted

New to this site, though I don't know why it took so long to get here.

I am Steve. Bred budgies in my teens / twenties. Lost interest due to time, kids, work etc

Looking for a hobby in my forties and away I went back into the world of budgies.

Still time poor but making it work.

I have around 50 birds of varying quality. 12 breeding cabinets in my bird room / shed. Outdoor aviary and some holding cages.

I am a member of two societies but don't have time to go to meetings or show.

The birds are all colours / types but I am leaning towards Lutinos, Yellow Face and Mauve at this point.

 

Have just put 8 pairs in the cabinets. 2 for Lutino, 2 for Spangles, 3 for Yellowface and 1 for mauve.

 

More to discuss later so I look forward to meeting you all.

Budgie

A big 'finally got here' welcome to you and your flock :)

 

I look forward to getting to know you all and seeing your birds. I recommend checking out our welcome centre in our FAQ's for tips on how to get started. The FAQ's have some awesome info, as does the search funtion.

 

Welcome aboard again, and I hope you settle in and feel at home :D

Welcome to the forums! Look forward to finding out about your birds, I think we have a couple of other members from the St. George club on here too...

Did you go to the Auction that the Pied Society put on?
No unfortunately. Should have made an effort. After some nice Dom Pieds. Only have one at the moment.Need to move a few on before I can add to the collection.Hi MaesieThanks for your welcome. Looks like we have a lot in common.I love furniture restoration and would kill for that meat safe.Also took some time to over Christmas to organise bags of stamps in some sort of logical order.Also own a printing business so bookbinding is something I know a little about.Of course there is the Budgies and I am also a keen gardener.

Thanks Amy. My fav spangle is a yellowface gray. Currently paired to my best cobalt.

Hoping for good things this year as they missed their first season. Hatched young but they

got no further than a day or two. Hoping they will be more experienced this year.

Still finding my way around here but will get there.

Cheers

Steve
