Hello all.  I am new to this and I have 10 budgies in my flock.  Now what I am concerned about is breeding myself in a corner.  I would like to know what is too close in breeding and what is allowable?   Would it be okay to breed father to daughter?  Or wud it be better to breed half brother to half sister?  I have one hen who is a violet mauve.  I would like to focus on breeding violets.  Since I only only have with the visual violet factor, I will have to breed related birds.

If you breed you need TIME!  Hope you have lots of that. Also make sure your females are older than 1 year to prevent Egg binding which could result in death.

Its been almost 1 year.  I have some in an outside aviary and some in breeding cages.  The ones in breeding cages have been there about 4 months.  They are interacting going in the nest but nothing after that
