Posted June 3, 201410 yr Hello so I'm Vari! I'm 19 from Bendigo in Victoria Australia and recently joined the club (though I haven't had a chance to get involved yet). I purchased my first two birds, two young rung birds at the bid bird sale at the showgrounds on the 11th of May. At the moment they're in a cage that I feel is two small but we have a much larger one we're in the process of seting up so it's only temporary. As for my breeding plan I'm living with my parents and my father wants to breed yellow face blues like he remembers them (vivid and bold colouring) from his younger days. At the moment my personal plan is simply for enjoyment, I want to breed a range of colours and patterns that I enjoy and steadily improve with each generation. Maybe one day i'll breed a bird with enough quality to show through this method of steady improvement but for the moment my focus is to simply enjoy myself with them and not on winning any shows. I will not be coloney breeding since I want to steadily improve my birds through good match ups but i'm still learning all the genetics! I'm in love with inos and lacewings and so that's where I think my focus will be but it's certainly not all I hope to breed. My first budgie is a lacewing hen who I've named Queen Dany, she's a wonderful bird with a lot of personality. Though she seems hellbent on picking fights with the wild birds (clinging to the front of the cage and yelling at them whenever she hears them sqkwaking) she's never so much as bitten her companion that i've seen. They flock together and get along wonderfully thus far! The next is my cock bird who is a grey(mauve??? I have a thread asking about that in the mutations queary board!) normal (fairly sure) and he's so darn lazy! Sometimes he plays and he hops from perch to perch trilling excitedly but his favourite pasttime seems to just be stuffing his greedy little beak. So that's me and my current bird-babies!

June 3, 201410 yr Hi Vari, Welcome to the gang! Love your two gorgeous babies. I have a bird that's just as lazy as your cock. My Mum calls him "Stuffy". Haha. Has yours got a name? Hope you have fun here. Katie
June 3, 201410 yr Author Hello, thank you for the welcome! Haha the laziness is cute, I do worry about him getting overweight but he seems an alright weight range for the moment. Stuffy is such a cute name! My two were named by a friend of mine after Game of Thrones characters so the lacewing is Queen Dany and the grey is Eddard.
