Posted January 13, 200619 yr Hi everybody, I just found this cool website and decided to register. Excuse my spelling, english is my second language. I've got two budgies: female Giny and male George. They fighted a lot when I bought them, but now they're having their first babies. There were six eggs in the box, two babies have already hatched, unfortunately one of them died - I don't really know the reason, but I think it's because George goes to the box sometimes and Giny pushes him out. So they might squash the baby. I hope the rest of them are going to be okay. If anyone can give me some advise I'll be very happy. Or write your experience with breeding budgies. Thanks a lot

January 15, 200619 yr Heya and welcome! It's great that you've decided to breed your birds - the breeding section has heaps of info (i know im repeating, but its true!)
January 15, 200619 yr Hi zebra! :grbud: Your budgies are beautiful!! I especially like your male, he's gorgeous! :ausb:
January 15, 200619 yr Yes, you have beautiful budgies. Welcome to the forum, it's a great place to learn :grbud:
January 15, 200619 yr Beautiful birds. I'm sure the babies will be lovely! I look forward to seeing pics of them. Welcome!
January 15, 200619 yr Author Hi zebra! Your budgies are beautiful!! I especially like your male, he's gorgeous! You can have George if you want :hap: - he is very naughty. He is separated from his family, because he was biting his babies. He actually killed the oldest one. I hope they´ll be okay now. He´s just angry and desperatelly trying to get back to them, naughty boy! I was asking for help in forum "budgies behaviour". :sport:
January 15, 200619 yr Oh how beautiful! Violet and grey, the two colours I DON'T have, and my 2 very favourite colours
January 16, 200619 yr I agree with everyone- your budgies are very striking. Their babies are bound to be beautiful as well. Good luck with the babies- I hope everything turns out well! Edited January 16, 200619 yr by Christine9

He hasn't done it since and I have no idea what his problem was???
January 16, 200619 yr Bec I didn't have any problems with colony breeding until my Mummybird got killed and 3 babies attacked, 1 died and the other 2 I handreared. By the time you have problems it is tragic and not worth the risk
January 16, 200619 yr Bec I didn't have any problems with colony breeding until my Mummybird got killed and 3 babies attacked, 1 died and the other 2 I handreared. By the time you have problems it is tragic and not worth the risk Lin, in about 12 years of breeding I've never had a problem and my Mum has had budgies for nearly 40 years and hers have also bred in a colony so I'm going to stick with what works for me I must be extremely lucky, my three laying hens I have had for 7 years and they are fine together and until they prove me otherwise....
January 16, 200619 yr Hiya and welcome to the forum, its so exciting when they lay their first clutch, unfortuantly things do go wrong, and we lose some chicks which is hearbreaking, hopefully now you have seperated the daddy from them they will flourish. GOOD LUCK
