I'm probably the only one laughing at my Post's topic... hehe.

So! This summer once my male budgie has reached the proper age for breeding I'd love to breed Newton (female) and Napoleon (male). Now of course I'm never going to start until I have so much information in my head that I dream about it all. This forum has always been useful to me and I see that there's tons of breeding info but... it seems to be a place that I'd come for random questions as it's hard to find a structured base of info on which to start. I was wondering if anyone knew about a good structured book (maybe with charts and such) about breeding budgies. Or even a website. I've already got the Master Breeder PDF document and I've recently bought a book called "Breeding Birds" - David Alderton (though not species specific it's very very interesting and useful)

But I'm looking for more. I'm always looking for more hehe.

I'm a very organized person and it's hard for me to get around things unless they're really structured and I know when I begin the whole breeding process and such I'll be very meticulate about writing things down, preparing everything in an orderly fashion.

I'm a nut. At least, I make it sound like I'm a nut.

Anyways!

If anyone knows any good sites or books about breeding budgies.

Please do post!

I did a double take when I saw your topic title. It is funny. I hope that you get some responses about a good book. I someday hope to breed my budgies and want as much info as possible before I do.

Well I was going to say Caring for caged and aviary birds is a great book for info on breeding, althought not just for budgies but I found out that it was by David Alderton also and would have the same sort of info as your book. The little books about keeping pet budgies give a brief outline of breeding that can sometimes give a jem of infomation. I would head for the library and get all the books you can find to read.

My library really isn't very jam packed with books about birds. There are a few but mainly very general stuff or very short picture filled books.

I am currently getting a book that I saw online, but I'm always on the lookout for more hehe.

i love books!

Thanks Daz! Looks like a fantastic site, I'm going to organize all the info in a word document so it's easier to keep track. :bluebudgie:
