10 new additions, fallows and splits I picked up yesterday from a club member who is quitting birds. 9 are John Flanagan bred and 1 baby, club member bred. I'm excited but scared because I've been told they are hard to breed, hens are brutal in the nest box(?) and to have foster parents ready.

Your new birds are lovely....congratulations on getting them. Good luck for the future with them too. Good for you going for one of the rarer breeds as well. :thumbs_up:

Very nice budgies.

Sorry Nubbly :thumbs_up:

Thank you Kaz. Probably not the best variety for a beginner but I'm very lucky to have got them. I'll keep a breeding journal when I start pairing them. :rofl:

 

And thank you birdluv :rofl:

well their no harder than anyother birds to breed

and may not be bad in the nest for you some birds just dont like their environment and breed like winners for others

but heed the advice and have fosters ready encase

o9 split fellow hen is very nice indeed

as is o7 fellow hen although her variety in general is not brilliant shes a lovely bird

 

010 will turn out rather nice i think some nice picture ups rach
