Yess!!! I am

my most favorite budgie just died! ;-[ and i am going to get a brother of his that looks just like him! and i am going to get a mate for him! i am doing it for the hobby and the pleasure. not for money, thats just a bonus. so my new budgies will produce nieces and nephews of my dear Drini, [dree-nee] he was named after the river drini in albania, where im from, and Drini had a soft yellow face and a blue breast, stomach, and well everything. he had multiple black stripes on his neck, and a little white spot there too, his wings were white feathers outlined with black, he was the most beuatiful bird, and had a charming personality! he would sing all day and would love to be outside his cage in the small trees, i clipped him regurly. i just miss him so much! he died on december first 2011, in my own hands! i think he died of brain cancer or a brain tumor, but i sorta feel relieved that he died, cause now he is in peace and is relaxed. i would put a pic. of him but i cant. breed ur budgie

pregnant

I think my female parakeet is pregnant & I decided to learn the basics of breeding & provide my bird's needs

breeding parakeets

it is easier than you think. twice a year with the spring and fall our pair mate. they have had 2 sets of 4 eggs a year apart that we have let grow. we had two healthy baby with each set. we give them extra seed and vitamens and veg. it is a lot of work to handle them and find homes.
