There is a blue bird on that photobucket account too which looks to me like a male, so there is a chance that you've got 2 males and that's why they aren't breeding...

yeah that could be true but when i got the white one it had a brownish cere so thats why i picked that one so not sure

 

and would that mean i could put a real female in with the blue budgie

How about we first establish what you have as far as sexes go and what set up you have in case there's more than just getting male and female right for breeding ?

We can help you better if you supply more information and photos of everything

 

PS please stop using shortcut language ( abbreviations ) in your posts as you have me busy editing them all ....please check your writing before you post

this post was much funnier when you had

 

...ploease check your writing before you post

 

but you were too quick for me

 

I agree with KAZ though funkypanda breeding budgies isn't just a case of 1 cock + 1 hen = Baby Budgies... If you can't post pictures of your cage then describe to us how you've set it up, we'd love to help you but at this point in time we've got not much to go on.

okay sorry. so the cage is about 1 meter tall and 45 wide and it as the breeding box up high wired ? secured ? to the cage up the top and it is a concave thing [_] and two perches beside each other with 4 toy aourd ? and water and weed cuttle fish. and my friend has a female budgie will i be able to put that with my male?

fixed TRAGICLY bad spelling errors making post less confusing

Best not to put another budgie in for breeding unless there is a period of quarantine.......look up FAQ on quarantine.

What age also is the other budgie.

 

AGAIN...........how about we get those photos happening so we can be CERTAIN of the sexes first ? and while you do it go for some cage photos too ?

okay sorry. so the cage is about 1 meter tall and 45 wide and it as the breading box up high sread to the cage up the top and it is a concave thing [_] and two perthers everside each other with 4 toy aourd and water and weed cuttel fish. and my friend has a fmale budgie will i beabel to put that with my male?

 

 

 

So is it just a simple rectangular shape?

 

 

how deep is the cage? is it 1m X 45cm X 45cm or is it thinner on the sides?

 

When you say there are perches either side, Do the perches go from the front of the cage to the back or from side to side?

 

 

How long have you owned the budgies for?

 

What do they eat?

 

 

As for your friends budgie... that wouldn't be a good idea in my opinion. I did that and my bird got sick, the other persons bird got sick... all in all not a great experience... and those birds were quarantined for 30days before they were put together... I know we are asking a lot of questions, but unfortunately we can't just say, if you do this - you'll get that...

 

yer im pretty sure its about 1 year and a half and sorry about the photos

 

its like a rectangle

 

 

 

i have had them for a year and i feed them budgie seed, and it's thin on the sides and perches are side to side

Edited December 7, 201113 yr by Finnie
it's not just the spelling. Sentences are hard to decipher

where is the nestbox? on the side, front, back? Inside or outside the cage?

 

 

whoever it was that said, a picture paints a thousand words, they were right lol.

 

 

If you were to get another female what would you do with the spare male?

Edited December 7, 201113 yr by JimmyBanks

it wont let me sign up for Photobucket

 

That's probably because of your age. You have to lie about Wait, no, I would never tell someon to lie. Just ask your parents or brother to let you on THEIR account.

How did you find that, Jimmy? I can usually find people's photos on Photobucket, but it wouldn't let me see anything for funkypanda97.

Funky, it sounds like you need to improve their diet. Besides seeds, they should be eating a variety of vegetables, egg and biscuit food, soft food, etc. To be in optimal breeding condition, they need great nutrition. I suggest you read up as much as you can about budgie breeding and nutrition. You can work on improving their diet, which will take some time. And in the meanwhile, you can use the time to learn about how to breed them. So you will know what you are doing by the time they are ready.

 

 

 

Take a look at members' posts about their breeding set ups. It will show you what a functional breeding cage should look like.

 

 

 

And please, if you are spelling poorly just because you can't spell, that's forgiveable. But it really looks like you are just typing in a hurry and don't care whether your sentences are readable. Can you please help us out by putting a little more thought into your typing?

sorry for the typing. i feed them each appels and carrots each week day and i take the cage out side for some sun and freash air i feed tham budgie seed mix and it has a lot of other stuff in it the berding box is on the out side but the concave thing is in the cage and the other male we think is is a male will go on a spare cage ive got

If at first you don't succeed try, try again. I had the same issue but if you just change the number of the picture in the URL of the original picture. It can be very hit and miss if the user has deleted pictures but you get there eventually.

 

On photobucket, their iPhone app is really good. I find it easy to use so that could be an idea if you have an iPhone or similar funkypanda...

hey guys my brother probobly dident tell u thr username and pass word for photobuket am i ment to tell u so u can see the photos are i

Nah we don't need your username and password. Some accounts are set to private and others are set to public. It's completely up to your brother how the account is set up. If you post the pictures here the same way you did the other picture then we can look at them like that.

okay so i think mabey this weekend i will be getting the female i think to put in with the male so hopefuly i will be abel to get tham to mate and will i be a about to put the other male we think back in with the male when they have had the chicks and done all the stuff they have to do

no. you dont get a new female and put straight down to breed with your male.....did you read what I said above about that ? and quarantine ?

 

If you are not prepared to listen to good advice and if you are so impatient to breed why are you here asking questions ?

 

STOP what you are doing and do some reading, research and asking of questions.

Post more photos so we can advise in a more detailed and concise way.

and we still dont know the sex of the lighter budgie ( the blue one is male ) .............so PLEASE do the photos her FIRST..............both birds, close ups ( clear ones ) of the ceres and eyes too please ?

Photo of your cage set up.

 

Dont be impatient, dont get ahead of yourself..............wait. Dont add a new female and start breeding her.

 

You have come to the very best place you could have for advice...........be prepared to listen and learn.

hey can you guys see the pohots i put on

Edited December 8, 201113 yr by **KAZ**
fixed bad links

We can see the photos now because I fixed your links....for some reason you were adding a bbc link as well which mucked up your photo links.

 

You seem to have a male and female already.......BUT your photos arent all that clear especially of the "whitish" budgie.....the close up of its cere.

 

The cage is a weird shape and the nestbox, although attached well enough, is kind of stuck up the top in an awkward place. Top is good, but the spot its in seems kinda cramped ??

There is no perch allowing easy access to the box....you need a perch to the box.

 

Can someone take some clearer photos of the white budgies cere..........natural daylight photo, front on and clear clear clear photo...using macro setting. If you are using your phone for photos it isnt clear enough.

 

Edited December 8, 201113 yr by **KAZ**

im taking the pohots with my ipod so i will try my best to make them crealr for u and did u say u wont photos of the eyes

okay i want to say

everything kaz said is right advice

the bird now to me looks female however it also looks young you say two years or did you say one year you have had it

one thing i noticed you say is that you put your cage out for sun often

well i know that you may be trying to do the right thing but if your trying to breed birds moving them will stop them breeding even if ready as it is not a safe secure inviroment

second

you cant breed birds inside as well as you can out side not one pair

budgies are flock animals so unless they can hear other flock members jetting giggy with it they are less likly to breed themselves

so firstly i think

we need to establish

age

sex

(as in defenent sex of the shim )

eyes look for iris ring on the birds

cage set up

and breeding box placement and placement of cage

feeding

and additives if you decide to breed inside for supplement of sun as you will have to stop moving them idf you ever want them to settle down and breed

last but most important

budgie getting jiggy noises and i have found some you can record and play for your birds pleasure

its just random off net but a good vocilization they will enjoy and hopefully get the hint

but first of all

 

LETS GET SEX OF THIS WHITE BIRD CORRECT

 

then we can deal with other things bit by bit one step at a time

Edited December 8, 201113 yr by GenericBlue

i would keep tham out side but when i did have them i fistly put them out side but thats how the whitie budgie got hurt threre was some blood but all good it was miner birds and so i will try to get some better pogots of of the white budgie

well when you do all that kaz has asked we can then help you to work around them being indanger also

it just all takes a bit of prepering and organization time and alot of care

Is this the kind of cage you have ??

 

 

Edited December 8, 201113 yr by **KAZ**

yep thats the one ive got just with a breading box

A couple of things I would like to point out.

 

Jimmy Banks mentioned way back that you should have your perches running front to back. And that they should be on opposite sides of the cage, so that the birds can fly back and forth from one to another. The reason for this is that it is part of the budgie mating ritual. The male will make overtures to the female, and then fly away from her, and then back to her. They also both go back and forth. Your birds cant' do this with the way you have the perches right now. So that is one thing you can address to improve your setup.

 

The type of perch you have is also a problem. Thin plastic perches don't offer them a very good grip for when they are mating. It's quite a balancing act, and they need a good stable grip. Wooden perches 12mm in diameter work well, as do natural branches.

 

It's great that you have given us more information. Now that we know you've been moving the location of the cage, I agree with GB. That will absolutely stop them from breeding.

 

We've also learned that your hen suffered an injury a while ago. (I think she's a girl, she's not one of the mutations that give pink ceres in the males.) You said she's fine now. But there is the possibility that an injury might have affected her fertility. I have a hen that recovered from an injury. She bred well before, but now she doesn't. Does the cere on your hen change shades of brown at all? Does it get thick and crusty and then flake off? Those are signs of a hen going in and out of breeding condition. Without them, it is hard to know when is the right time to breed her, or even if she's really a girl.

 

 

So I hope you're beginning to realize that there is a whole lot more to breeding budgies than you might have thought. Please do as Kaz said, and read up as much as possible on the forum. It's a fun hobby, and it would be nice if you could enjoy it, by knowing what you are doing. If you prepare yourself well, you can avoid a lot of heartache by being able to avoid and or deal with the potential problems.
