Hi, my name is Mark and I have finally joined this great forum. I have been browsing for over a year but couldn't join because my email wasn't compatible. But here I am now and looking forward to gaining lots of info from all the experienced people here.

 

I have 32 budgies at the moment (not counting babies). These are pet types and not show quality, but this is something I would like to look into in the future. This has been my first year of breeding and I have totally enjoyed the experience. I had 15 pairs altogether, not sure how many babies (lost count - would have to check records). I did have quite a few infertile eggs so will be gaining as much info as I can to change/improve this for next time. I bred through the winter (indoors) and am winding down now. My last pair had different ideas though and have laid 11 eggs (4 hatched so far) so I will be waiting a while for these to finish. Luckily I have some foster parents available.

 

Anyway I'm glad to be be part of this community.

It sounds like you have your hands full. There are definitely people here who can really help. I'm still learning myself but this site is all about sharing info so welcome aboard. Hope to see your birds soon.

Wow all those birds must keep you really busy. I am new too, thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the forum. I have been breeding for 3 years and only have 12 budgies. Mind you I only have one successful pair and only raised 5 babies from my one good pair that started last year the first year nothing very upsetting second year I got 2 and on the 3rd year i got 4 but one died at 2 days old for no reason. Looks like you are doing well.

Hi and welcome, I am winding down also after breeding through winter. Starting to be too hot now, it was 29 deg in aviary at 10 to-day.

Hi, welcome to the forum

Hi Mark, welcome. I'm also a learner, Have 5 pairs down with eggs in 4 nests, second round of the season.

Enjoy.
