Australian Show Standard Budgie. An Answer to the Guestbook query. Check out my other site . We have been breeding and showing Budgerigars since 1991. Currently we have a stud of around 280 birds.
All hens have a brown cere, when the cere is a dark brown the bird is ready to breed.
Back to top Breeding Breeding can be done in two ways - Colony breeding This is done simply by placing nest boxes into your aviary and letting the birds pair themselves. This is the best way to breed. A pair of Budgerigars are placed into a breeding box, this allows you to have some control over the resulting offspring's colour and expected size and markings. Records can be kept and the general quality of the stud can be expected to improve over the years. The nest box floor is covered with saw dust hence the two doors.
