Budgies
Does anyone know anything about the breeding of budgies? Apart from the obvious that is.
My two have never been near their nesting box in the couple of years I've had them but during the last week or so they've moved in. I'm having a quiet panic now as I know nothing about the process.
Do I feed them special food? What do they need in the box for nesting?
HELP!!

Hahaha that brought back memories. My dad used to breed budgies (( I don't know all the in's and out's of it though)) He used to be as proud as punch when he got a baby!! I think he was more proud of them than us lol.

Re: Budgies
Thanks Panther and thanks to Jen for her pm. I've checked the budgie sites and even joined a forum but it all seems a little bit clinical. I was hoping for someone like Slinky's Dad, who could give me proper advice.
No eggs yet, so I have a bit of time. I'm dead excited though!!
Keep you up to date xx

Re: Budgies
I once went out with a lad in Clitheroe who bred budgies and canaries - but that was several decades ago.

Re: Budgies

Re: Budgies
Thanks Rindy. I'm sure that they are male and female and I reckon that it's a matter of time.
I'm just impatient as I'm so looking forward to it.

Show them this then.
It might help them get in the 'mood'.

Re: Budgies
How do budgies have sex anyway?
I have a budgie.
It pecks me.
I do not like it very much.
It's rubbish.

If there isn't room to join the mile high club, there is always the old missionary position.

Re: Budgies
LOL Rind!
As already mentioned June, he can't but given half the chance our dad would have taken great pleasure in giving you the low down on breeding budgies. He also bred finches,
I can't remember him doing anything different, changing their food etc. I think he just left them to get on with it.
Good luck hope you've got some eggs very soon
