that's what we call goverment. 

Haahah... great that you got males, more vocal. Till today, I have not heard much sound from my female other than hissing at me and soft chirping during matings LOL.

RM110 is a good price. Jealous lah, I also want a lutino LOL.... but after the eggs hatch first.... I think another 2 weeks to go.

Oh, the longish cage you showed earlier.... I saw yesterday Pet Family has a few for sale, RM80 only.

Ok...will do that one of these days.

Here is my Hello Cockatiel funny act in chasing the computer mouse cursor. Some pictures below were taken when I brought him to a pet gathering.  Everyone enjoyed playing him.

thanks a lot, at least it heals my broken heart.

hello.... anybody has experiences feeding budgie chicks?  Ive got a pair of budgies that just started to lay... Currently there're 9 eggs and still counting. I might have to hand feed some of them (maybe when they're a little bit bigger)

Wow..congrats!  Hope your lovebird chicks can survive,  will the mother knows how to feed the chicks?  If not, you will have a very tough time in hand feeding such a tiny chick.  Must use syringe, and the food must be very fine only can be push through.

here are the eggs... beneath the hen that is. 2 already hatched... post some more pic after.
Where can I get budgie chick formula, non of the pet shops I know sell any, and homemade one's not recommended.

only seven eggs hatched the oldest is 4 days in the pic... while the youngest is two hours ago

congrats on the eggies!

heres my big fabercastle parrot 


they are not tame at all..the moment u go near , they will peck the cage 

This is the first time my budgies have chicks, I'd just bought the bird 2 months ago. I have no experience rearing chicks, so any helps and tips are welcome.

Can't wait to see them fly..... I hope they all survive...

The hen is an English Budgie, the cock is a normal budgie, I don't know what to call the chicks thou, Probably they'll be normal budgie like their dad.

I put my birds in a flight cage that's big enough to fit ten people. By looking at the rate they're breeding, the flight will be full of budgies by next year. 

I'll post some more pics soon



This is the hen sitting on her eggs. She's a fat chubby tubby english budgie.

I'm not selling them yet... the family is attached to the birds. I'll let you if any tame english budgie turn up for sale.

Added on May 28, 2008, 5:36 pmAnybody breeding budgies? I wanna start my own colony..... I've seen the birds flock in a video more than 20 000 strong. I'm really interested to breed these birds. I'm thinking of building a bigger flight cage so they all can live together.

Any advise?

Yay! My tiel's egg just hatched!!! Hahahah.... got this wet wet yellow chick. Soon it will become fuzzy. I'll try and get a pic when the mom is out of the box.

Sigh... not a good day. My baby tiel just died. Apparently the female fed it too soon, overfed. The abdomen was so hard, and the crop too full.... sigh.... maybe I should have taken it out to hand feed sooner.

Another egg is fertile.... gonna wait another 15 days for it to hatch.

Anyone here withe experience with hand feeding 1 day old hatched chicks?

Yes, that's right!  Over there also have tamed one for sale, but the boss not willing to sell anything lower than RM250 each.

I'm getting 2 more cockatiel chicks to babysit and handfeed soon, this time the chicks are pied and pearl.  I'm actually very interested in Lutino, but very hard to find Lutino chicks to handfeed.  Since the breeder I know has pied and pearl chicks, I just sapu first, then will see how they turned out, if the colour is ok to my likings then I will keep, if not then will probably try to exchange with others on Lutino or sell.

Hehe..since my cage still have sufficient space for 3-5 birds. No harm adding more since got cockatiel chicks offer.  So..wanna sell your lovebird chick to me?  I can hanfeed all in one go just same effort anyway. 

Now I only left one lovebird at home.  I want different colour from my existing collection, that is why I swap a pair of my lovebirds for 3 Tanau (Blue Rumped Parrot).

I was at the pet shop in Great Eastern Mall yesterday. They are having reno sales. The tame lories were at 30% off. They were very tame, climbing all over my shoulder and back. I had hard time getting them out of my body.
Very tempting to buy one.
