Posted March 30, 201114 yr okay so I am going to try and put up some pictures of some of my birds. Fingers crossed all goes well... LOL I only have 22 birds for now. I think that the grey green pair are my best pair, and I would like to pair them up together. Also I like this recessive pied, he has no tail so he looks short. Trying to find a suitable hen. Comments welcome good and bad I am building an aviary and small breeding room, will post some pictures of my progress now that I know how to do it.
March 30, 201114 yr they are very nice birds twisted, did you breed them yourself or did you get them from a breeder? id be very stoked with them if i were you.

Thanks Kochy, I got them from a breeder. I bred budgies about 6-7 years ago for 2 years and had to give them away due to circumstances. I always missed the birds and intended to get some again. I went to the local market a few weeks ago and there was 2 club members selling culls. I was glad to see them there, and caught up on some goss, and couldn't walk away without some birds. Hopefully they will breed for me and I can post pictures of the babies. Very very nice birds Thanks KAZ
April 4, 201114 yr Author Some good news. The pair of grey greens have 3 eggs so far and DRUMROLLLLLLLLLL I see fertility. Now just gotta hope that they hatch out.
April 13, 201114 yr Author Been offline with internet problems, 5 eggs all fertile, will post as something happens.
April 24, 201114 yr Author Just an update. 1 of the 5 eggs just vanished into thin air. 2 chicks hatched and dead first day. Not being fed. Problem with having only 1 pair laying eggs. 2 eggs left. Both fertile. At least I know the pair are fertile, will make sure that I have more pairs down next time, so I can foster the young. I purchase some new birds, might try and get a round in before winter.
April 24, 201114 yr Try topping the chicks up with a dropper of food for a few feeds till they are stronger, squark loud enough and see if the parents feed them when a few days older.
April 25, 201114 yr Author Got some rearing food today, and a dropper, came home and the other 2 eggs had been kicked out. Both dead in shell. 1 old one and 1 was fresh. Bit disappointed but I expected it with only 1 box to work with. Will be ready for it next time.
