Just a quick question.

I was just wondering if the breeding season is the same for budgies in all countries?

Yep. Spring/summer but of course that's at different times of the year in different countries

and I have had birds sucessfully breed in Nov/Dec in the Northern Hemisphere - which equates to Autumn/Winter here. I think they were both ready , the nest box looked okay and I was prepared to pay the heating bill!

 

But it was unusual.

Some breeder will only breed from Autum to Late Spring. Some will breed all year round..But not with the same birds.

Well, you get way hotter up there Daz than we do, I can see why you'd start in autumn!

pet budgies spring summer show birds mainly starts winter to spring (november to around april may) in the uk

Come live in Melbourne, we get all 4 seasons in 24 hours! Seriously a pain! You can start breeding in early spring here, you might get a few 40c+ days, a few 18c- days, and a couple of rainy days. The only way to guage this stuff here is to follow average temperatures, that way you can guess what the weather's gonna do! :(Laughing out loud):

So generally pet budgies like warm weather to breed?

Pretty much...Pet budgies usually have their temperature's stabilised too, so they don't have extremes to worry about. They don't have to worry about food or water, it's supplied. Predators are kept at bay too...What wouldn't I give to live my budgies life?? :feedbirds:

Yeah, hehe, it seems like it would be so easy just so sit there look pretty and eat food.
