Introducing Rasur

Featured Replies

Posted

Well, I have finally worked up the nerve to introduce myself on the forum! I have been a member for months, but have never posted. My name is Rasur and I have a budgie named Nickle who is about 9 months old. I have 7 years of experience with budgies and have never stopped loving them. When I was young, I wanted to have many budgies, but I knew I couldn't afford that. Instead, I began researching budgies. I saved my money and bought an 8-foot aviary, complete with a safety compartment. I am interested in cabinet breeding when I get older budgies. I have a heart for yellow faces and spangles. :lol:

 

I look forward to meeting everyone!

:) and :lol: I love spangles and yellow faces also.

Hi Rasur! Welcome! Do you have pictures of your budgies you can put up? We love pictures, here. I like spangles and yellowfaces, too, and I'd really like to see some! :D

 

Hi Finnie. Thank you. I will try to post a couple of photos, soon. I may be getting a few more budgies this afternoon. I am going to meet a breeder in a neighboring city. :wub:

Hi Rasur and welcome to the forum.

 

I look forward to your pics.

 

If you have been reading on here for a while and you are going to get some new budgie pals, you would of course read about the importance of quarantine

Yes, we quarantine every new pet (birds, fish, reptiles)! Thanks for the reinforcement! :wub:

I finally got the budgies for my aviary. On Monday I brought home 6 budgies from a breeder a few miles away from my home. They were a little cramped in the space the lived in before, so I wanted to give them a better view and more room in my aviary.

 

The straight dowel in the photos was intended to "level" the budgies so I could take photos of them from the front, going down the row. However, this did not work. :lol:

 

According to the breeder, these birds are around 6 months old! :) I am relived they are not. They were being bred in a colony.

 

There are some with splayed feet and some calcium deficient.

 

Pictures of the budgies:

 

 

Splayed feet to the right and left. :D

I originally thought this was a rainbow. I am now changing my position:

she isn't a spangle.

I apologize for the amateur nature of these photos. Scared budgies are often difficult to photograph and my camera does not depict the true colors of these budgies. :lol:

 

Our assorted group!

I may be getting more budgies next month from a show breeder a few miles away from my home. I will see how that works out.
