Budgie Breeding

[muddy75]

2 of my budgies managed to escape the subaviary Thurs or Friday. We’ve made a couple of attempts to get them back in, but they are doing well in the main aviary so I guess it’s an “unplanned” experiment.
We’ve been out there a lot today and at last look, they were happily perched low and mingling with the ground birds

Found one of my females scalped and dead today considering nothing in the cage is a nest..if i knew which one did it id cull that one to.

Not acclimating well this year……I’ve lost approximately 6 to early fall/winter temps

But I’ve almost broke the incessant broodiness by collecting the eggs every few days

I got behind on my budgie egg collection so I currently have an unknown number of hatchlings in the nests

Crazy as ever! Several of them were outside most of the day .

I will have to check the nests to make sure all the babies are ok but this group is dedicated and protective which is what threw off my timing (I was tired of getting bitten multiple times daily)
