October 29, 201014 yr Author i went to remove the infertile eggs and og the 4 that were there there was limited shell, did she eat the shell for calcium? Also the place that im playing tennis at is really close to the place that you told me was selling the cheap breeding cabinets, i might get the two singles!!! also i removed the breeding boxes from my avairy, also my cock scruff who is prides mate(i guess there mates even though the eggs were infertile) he still tries to preen her and stuff, will he still breed with another hen if i were to put them together,
October 29, 201014 yr If you are going to the bird club to get the boxes let me know and when and I will say hello
October 29, 201014 yr Author i was thinking of buying them at the place in parkwood where they are $20 not at the other one.
October 29, 201014 yr i was thinking of buying them at the place in parkwood where they are $20 not at the other one. Aha..............did you know that she is a forum moderator Libby who is selling them ? http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?showuser=3634 Edited October 29, 201014 yr by KAZ
October 31, 201014 yr Author hey Kaz, today i bought a breeding cabinet from Libby and i am going to clean it, should i use warm soapy water or disinfectant, or both, thanks.
October 31, 201014 yr Well, if its chipboard you dont want to go going too mad with water as chipboard is like a sponge.
October 31, 201014 yr Author yeah it is chipboard, is it okay to use disinfectant or is that harmful to budgies.
November 1, 201014 yr Author i cleaned out the breeding cabinet and it looks like new, i also bought seed and water dispensors, how long till i should put in the pair i wish to breed
November 1, 201014 yr Are the pair in breeding condition? What is their current feeding habits? Ie. Are the eating their veggies? Have you been supplementing their water? If so, what with? When did you last worm them? Edited November 1, 201014 yr by JimmyBanks
November 1, 201014 yr Author both of them are nibbling at everything in the cage, they are chewing on anew ladder i bought for them today and on there perch soi believ they are ready.the male cant get enough of his vegies he eats alot of them and the female eats some to. i dont have anything currently in the water and i only wormed them i couple of weeks ago.
November 1, 201014 yr okay, I'd add some calcivet to the water to increase their calcium levels... Some people put the hen in first with the nestbox attached. Some people put the cock in first, others put them both in without the nestbox then add the nestbox after a few days... It's basically up to you... If you think you're ready, jump in, hold on and enjoy the ride...
November 1, 201014 yr Some people put the hen in first with the nestbox attached. Some people put the cock in first, others put them both in without the nestbox then add the nestbox after a few days... It's basically up to you... and some people put them both in at the same time with their nestbox and dont get silly or fussy about it too
November 1, 201014 yr Hahahaha! Yes they do! So busy telling her what others do I didn't get around to telling her what I'd do!! hahahaha!
November 1, 201014 yr Hahahaha! Yes they do! So busy telling her what others do I didn't get around to telling her what I'd do!! hahahaha! Him JB not Her

November 2, 201014 yr thats okay JB, ill probably put the hen in tomorrow and then the cock on friday. Put them both in at the same time.
November 2, 201014 yr Once you put them in take a picture or the cabinet if possible It would be great to see them, someone might even be able to tell you what to expect out of the pairing...
November 17, 201014 yr Author GOod thanks, i put them in and they have been in for about a week but nothing has really happened. sorry i havent been on in a while i have exams at the moment
November 18, 201014 yr GOod thanks, i put them in and they have been in for about a week but nothing has really happened. sorry i havent been on in a while i have exams at the moment Your breeders may possibly not do anything at the moment as the weather here is so so incredibly hot. Nasty weather! 37 was forecast today though It feels much hotter. My birds were all on the floor of their aviaries trying too cool down - I've gone out about 4 times and sprayed them down. I have one pair of pet types that decided they wanted to go another round but I have since removed the eggs and next box because I feel the hen, eggs and/or chicks may suffer because of the heat. None of the eggs were showing.. The cock doesn't seem to notice the weather at the moment - he's been too busy with his perch, the hen and the food bowl haha Fingers crossed things work out for you though!
November 20, 201014 yr Author yeah they dont really notice the breeding box, and i spray them before and after schoo;
