Woos Aviary

Good morning here are some of my exhibition Budgerigars , most are Spangles and tufted,also a champion Violet

 

Good morning @ricky101 and @Upsydaisy thank you my friends at the moment I have 13 just one more to collect from a champion breeder and that will be 14 in total the Violet and the Violet /Grey go back 3 generations and that should almost guarantee me Violet chicks I shall start just after Christmas

 

Good afternoon @CanadianLori many breeders pair up birds in November in order to have new birds ringed (i.e. a ring put on their legs) in the new year. This annual ringing is synchronised for January 1st in the UK, and it means there are new, young birds ready for spring shows.but I shall wait until about march/May next year so that my birds are at least a year old,has they can have 3/4 clutches a year but I only allow them to have one clutch a year


Budgies are physically able to breed after six months, but should not be allowed to do so until they are at least 10 months old. A younger bird will often fail to be a good parent females will be able to breed for four years, and males for six.

 

Good afternoon @ricky101 I'm trying to visualize your measurements ,the 7 ft long and 4 ft in high seem fine, its the 18 inches wide which concerns me a little,as you know I am no expert now if it were Roses I would imagine at least 6/8 Birds,I have automatic lighting/heating in mine at the moment which come on at set times ie lighting at 4/7pm and 4/7.30am and when the temperature drops below 55 fahrenheit but go for it ,its a lovely hobby with its own rewards

 

Good morning @ricky101 my friend go for it and please let me know your progress

 

Good evening tomorrow I am going to make the aviary bigger,it means catching all the budgies and putting them in cages or working with the budgies flying round me,it should only take me about an hour,enjoy your evening my friends
