I was watching python hunters on tv and they where breeding different style pythons for sale as pets, and it got me to thinking about budgie breeding. I should note I don't plan on breeding budgie, I'm just trying to get a understanding of how to breed them, and how the various mutations are done. Also I should note this is done with a controlled breeding situation. Here are my questions.

1. If you pair up 2 budgies, do they breed for life with each other?

2. f they do not breed for life, is the breeding process do as the following:

female A is paired up with male B and they produce a chicks with mutation X.

Next time female A is paired up with male C to produce chicks with mutations Y

Is one of these questions the correct way of breeding budgies in a controlled setting, or is the breeding process done differently?
