Posted September 13, 201014 yr Hi there - have been thoroughly enjoying the site and forums and learning a LOT! Have been a budgie owner on and off over the past few years. My current 'family' is made up of two gorgeous girls and two males. They share their aviary with Guido the Platino Weero and they all get along famously. I just got my first egg, so am fairly excited to see what comes from here on in. Although I waited many months before introducing my males and doing lots of research before attempting to add the breeding box, I am overwhelmed at the information I am learning here...but am hugely grateful to have found you...its so exciting. I think I'll be a regular here on this journey of discovery. No pics but will post some soon. So...say hi if you want..sharing the love and light
September 13, 201014 yr Hi and welcome Teyet. Best of luck withe your breeding endeavors and looking forward to photos too
September 14, 201014 yr Author Oh so disappointed..imagine my chagrin after expressing my excitement - I got up today and went out to my birds and took a look in the box....one egg, pecked to bits!! I removed it from the box. Will they lay again? I also noticed one of the females hasbeen pecked around her ceres and looks tender, so am imagining there has been a couple of battles. I do have another cage that I can make ready and remove the breeding pair...not sure what to do here...help???

Best one pair only to a cage with their nestbox.
