The grey and blue pair have the 2 chicks.

The grey and white hen is a dominant pied she is half half, i,ll get another photo soon, I,m proud of the violet as it is my first purchased in this colour

 

 

This pair have the 2 chicks

 

This is my english budgie and 1/3 english budgie pair, she is due to have eggs any day

 

 

 

The eldest looks like his dad

 

 

These 2 have 1 chick

 

I think this lacewing may have fractured a wing, when the breeder netted him he couldn't fly after that

 

Skyblue english hen in her nest, she is from a strong show bloodline apparently

 

 

 

 

Any thoughts on my birds??? Good bad?

I love them all, but I especially love the chicks and lacewing.

Are you going to an avian vet to get his wing checked out?

Avian vets are of course way better and have more knowledge than normal 'every pet' vets...

 

But sooooo extremely cute all of them, especially the lacewing

Looks like some nice birds there. I see your following Kaz tip of seed in nest box, I really think it helps chicks.

I did a bit more research and i think it's only a sprain.I really like him too, and for $10 that's a bargain.

Yes i think it is a great tip i have been using it for the last 5 months.I especially like my birds.

Is that budgie seed you got at the bottom of you baby budgie box? You shouldn't put seeds like that for them at that age, a little bit of millet spray is okay. I some what feel sorry for the breeding conditions of your budgies.

Mate, i,ve talked to four breeders and it's fine.My birds are healthy and i am a novice breeder not a show breeder so don't critisize the way i do things.I am 13 i might not have thousands of dollars to go out and buy a brand new aviary or national champion bird but i still love them and they are looked after so don't comment here again please.

I have done a whole topic on BBC forum on seed in the nestboxes......suggest you read it Jetsbudgies...you may change your mind.

Sorry kaz but i,m not with you on that one if people want to criticize i think i have the right to say something(No offence meant it's just my view).I know the jam packet boxes isn't the best but i have 22 nests to 18 birds.I am getting a few cabinets in the next few week anyway.I have 2 pairs in breeding cages so i actually only have 12 birds in the aviary.

okay but as i said no offece intended.I do really like this form so i don't want restriction so thanks for the advice.

corzstunt, you do have some lovely birds and it is obvious that you look after them but i agree i know you already have a couple of breeding cabinets but i think you need enough so every pair can have one. also are the nest boxes always in there or do you remove them. because if they are always in there it could be influencing the birds to breed when they may not be ready. i also know that it is hard to take critisism because i got the same thing when i first joined her lsat year, but their advice and critisism ahs made my birds so much healthier and friendlier its amazing, lets hope you have continous good breeding seasons and welcome to the site.

I dont let birds that are under 12 months breed and i remove my boxes in mid summer i will only allow my birds to have a maximum of 3 clutches.Thanks for your help aswell pride.

Its good that you do remove them out at summer, but i still think you need cabinets, i know its hard being a teenager and trying to get all this stuff because we simply do not have the money. but i suggest just getting enough gradualy over time.

Edited September 11, 201113 yr by Pride

When you are first starting out and need cabinets for breeding and dont have much money.......here's some tips

 

Check bulk rubbish throwout days or the recycle at the tip or ask relatives and friends for

 

old pantry cupboards.......these can easily have mesh fronts made and each shelf section made into a breeding cabinet.

 

old wardrobes can be converted.

 

so can shelving units, bookcases ( if deep enough ) .....

 

I once made a breeding cabinet out of an old laundry sink cupboard.

 

All you need is to think outside the box about how something can be converted into a breeding cabinet, have a few tools and some aviary mesh.

 

They are some good tips!

I always thought it was best to use the wooden made ones, but using a pantry cupboard is a great idea!

Thanks kaz that is a great idea and i know someone who may have a few to spare.

I have got some pantry cupboards...

Huh mm I'll check with mum,

Shame we actually use them!!!

LOL
