Posted January 22, 201312 yr Hi all – My name is Selena!! And I am new to this forum I’m owner of Seli’s Birdhouse (Check out my facebook page if you’re interested). I recently moved away from breeding finches into breeding budgies and small/medium parrots and am LOVING it!! These birds are soooo much more interactive and a pleasure to have than finches (who have a tendency to want to fly around like nuts whenever I am near). I currently have 41 budgies in various colours and mutations–from normals to violets, spangles, greys, yellow headed, pied and clearbodies–and I am currently working my way through the various factors to attempt to determine the correct mutation….any recommendations for sites that would assist with doing this would be wonderful Most of these birds are within 12 months of age, although some were purchased as adults and breeding pairs. And last week, I very excitedly discovered two nesting boxes with eggs!!! Can’t wait to see what I get I also keep plumheads, Scarlet Parrots, Elegant Parrots, 28 Parrots (or Port Lincoln Parrots) and a pet blue Indian Ringneck named Saphira. I look forward to trawling the forums for some valuable information on successfully breeding the beautiful budgie!! Selena Edited January 22, 201312 yr by selis_birdhouse
January 22, 201312 yr Hi Selina and welcome, wow with all those birdy friends it would be a full time job just caring for them all. Good luck with your budgie flock.
January 23, 201312 yr Hi and welcome to the BBC forum Selena! You really have quite a flock there!! Good luck
January 24, 201312 yr Hi Selena, welcome to the forum. For a beginner grasp of budgie mutations, I'm going to recommend The Budgie Place. But keep in mind that it is not a perfect site. It won't help you become a budgie color expert, but everyone has to start out with small steps, and understand the basics, before they can handle more complicated details. But the Budgie Place at least has some simple information about the main budgie mutations. http://www.budgieplace.com/colorsguide.html
