Word of advice:

AVOID INBREEDING... It could result to serious abnormalities... That is why if you have a flock, remove the chicks as soon as they can feed on their own and sell them...

GET A PAIR FROM A REPUTABLE BREEDER who knows his lines...

makhbaw man na cla ug unsa compatible pair ug ang genetic make-up ana nga particular bird so as to avoid inbreeding...

Budgies actually are unpredictable when it comes to the colors of their chicks as Joshua can attest to... Bsan puro pana Lutino (Bright Yellow) imung pair, manganak na ug Blue or Green unlike sa fishes nga you can actually sort of predict sa color sa ilang offsprings...

Just pick the biggest and healthiest male and a plump active female to have the best genes for your breeding...

As soon as mka breed ka, buy a new bird to outcross with your self bred Budgies...

The Good$!!!,
It would help predict the offspring if you know more about the color mutation and genetics of your breeders.

Serious Bird Breeders,
If you're into serious bird breeding, I suggest you get a copy of "A Guide to Colour Mutations and Genetics in Parrots" by Dr. Terry Martin...

Ahhh so I see...

Mao man gud g sulti ni Toti namo ni Joshua kanang bird breeder dha sa Labangon...

Mao man sad nabantayan namo sa chicks ni Joshua...

Question lang bai Blackhawk, are English Budgies really that hard to breed?

It seems they have gained the notoreity for being difficult to breed... And can we cross them with the ordinary Budgies?

If you have some English Budgies, visit unya mi ni Joshua sa imung aviary ky basin mupalit mi...

budgies diet:

Budgerigars require a quality "budgie seed mix" plus a variety of seeding grasses. Many breeders add a piece of cuttlefish bone for them to nibble on for a source of calcium. Additional green vegetables such as Silverbeet, endive, cos lettuce and Broccoli will be eagerly consumes(kangkong will do) and make up a valuable part of a balanced food intake. Some seasonally available fruits can be offered, e.g. apple.

budgies 101:

Budgerigars in their natural-habitats of Australia are noticeably smaller than those in captivity. This particular parrot species has been bred in many other colours and shades in captivity (i.e. blue, grey, greygreen, pieds, violet, white, yellow...) although they are mostly found in pet stores in blue, green and yellow. Budgerigar plumage is known to fluoresce under ultraviolet light (as most other parrot species do as well), a phenomenon possibly related to courtship and mate selection.

The colour of the cere (the area containing the nostrils) differs between the sexes; royal blue in males, pale-brown to white (non-breeding) or brown (breeding) in females and pink in immatures of both sexes (usually of a more even purplish-pink colour in young males). Some female budgerigars develop brown cere only during breeding time and later disappears. Young females can often be identified by a subtle chalky whiteness that starts around the cere nostril holes. Males that are either Albino, Dark-Eyed-Clear, Lutino and/or recessive pied (aka Danishpied aka Harlequin) always retain the immature purplish-pink cere colour their entire life

Feeding

I use a basic seed mixture that is composed of millet (Japanese, White, Yellow, Panicum), plain canary and grouts. Grit, cuttlefish and mineral blocks are always available. Hardboiled eggs are mixed with breadcrumbs and used as softfood every day during the year. The water is filtered and vitamin supplements are added throughout the year. Entrodex (probiotic) is added to the softfood.

We feed a commercial basic seed mixture of canary seed and different millets. If possible the birds get greenfood everyday. Our tap water is of very good quality and not chemically treated. Carrots or apples are distributed in the flights regularly. Mineral blocks and softfood are available for breeding pairs only. A commercial softfood is given to birds with chicks starting 2 to 4 days before chicks are due to hatch and removed after the chicks are fledged. We do not add vitamins to the food and the concept of stimulating a bird’s (or a human’s) natural intestinal flora is of course a marketing gag and nothing else (if your birds are not treated with antibiotics every month). It was shown that a raw protein content of 10% in the seed is sufficient for nonbreeding birds Also it is not necessary to supplement the food with the most critical amino acid lysine. We believe that the situation is different in breeding birds rearing a dozen chicks and we provide enough softfood with lecithin
