I'm looking for a breeder to help get me started in breeding show budgies, just want to start out with 3-4 pairs to begin with.

Especially interested in Dominant Pieds, Spangles and Yellow Faces.

 

I have contacted a few clubs as well and I am also waiting to hear back from them but thought I'd try here as well.

 

I have bred pet type budgies when I was in high school and show budgies a few years ago but I was unlucky enough to have a tree get blown down onto my aviary before my first rung babies reached 12 months. After that I gave up on them for a while but thought I might give it another go.

 

I commute between Sydney and Shoalhaven areas regularly so if you're within these areas and could help me out personally or put me into contact with someone who could help please let me know :-)

 

Thanks in advance!

You sound like you are on the right track.

 

How did it go?

Nothing yet but I'm planning on going to a few sales days and auctions that are coming up soon...

There are often bargains at auctions and sales. Contacting breeders through a bird club is also a good alternative as some birds go for silly prices at auctions.

I haven't had an overwhelming response from clubs I've contacted so far, just the one reply that informed me of the sale day. I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually :-P

If the sale doesn't work out, I would probably go to a club meeting and ask in person about the varieties you want.
