Well I have 3 pair of budgies set up to breed. One pair hates each other and another pair I hope to get something outta them soon. Well my third pair the hen has been in the nesting box almost all day for the past 3 days and then finally yesterday (4/20/05) she laid her first egg and is already sitting on it even though she's not supposed to really start till her 2nd or 3rd egg. I can't wait till it hatches. I've been kinda angry with them because I had them paired up for a month and then I've had them with the nest boxes for well over 6 months and I haven't gotten anything till yesterday. I'm so excited ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  |

They are parakeets, like the ones you find in pet shops. Usually they are blue and white or green and yellew.

Well your kinda right SS. Budgie is the correct name for what pet stores call parakeets. Parakeet means having a long tail. So I could call a cockatiel a parakeet or a blue and gold macaw a parakeet but I couldn't call a congo african grey a parakeet. They come in a rainbow of colors. I ended up having 7 eggs laid. Out of those 7 only 5 hatched. One got a dent in it and I was thinking it was still going to hatch. Then after awhile it was gone. I guess it went bad and the other ate it. Then the last baby was hatching as I went off to school which would have been baby 6 but when I came home it was all hatched out and it was dead. I think it got squished with the other 5 babies plus the 2 parents. So being VERY tiny he had 14 feet to watch out for and I guess it didn't do too good of a job watching out. All of their pins are opening and 3 of them look almost exactly alike being green yellow and white. The 4th baby is the odd ball being blue and white and the 5th is also green yellow and white but it has all yellow wings unlike the others.

Tis cool. I used to have a green and yellow budgie named Pretty Boy. He came from an abusive home before I got him, so he was never very friendly.

Stupid word sensor. When I typed c ockatiel it put cockatiel in it's place. So I had to put that little space between the c and o so it wouldn't sensor me again.
