Posted May 22, 201411 yr Hello everyone, My name is Kristy. My husband and I have a flock of 5 budgies, who are like part of the family. We have them paired off in separate cages (the 5th, a cobalt clearwing female - Kylie - is on her own due to the unexpected passing of her mate late last year). We also have Daisy (a cobalt greywing) and Charlie (a sky blue spangle), who were paired late last year and we intend to breed them come spring, as well as Milton (a violet greywing) and Blondie (an albino), who have been paired for well over a year now and have just bred. Blondie experienced epic fail with her most recent clutch - hence why I've converted from long time reader of this forum, to active member! I'd love to discuss and hear anyone else's opinion on our troublesome hen, so will find the appropriate place on this forum to start a topic (suggestions appreciated!). Looking forward to getting more involved in this forum over the coming weeks

May 23, 201411 yr HI Kristy, Glad you've 'taken the plunge' in becoming 'one of us'! Hope you enjoy your time as 'part of the family' as much as I have and that you learn heaps! Good luck with everything Katie
