I always used to put the nest box's in around the end of December, make sure it's a proper budgie bowl and put some grit in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got a my first budgie book ordered, they was an impulse buy I have to admit , am not to fussed about breeding them there just pets but would be nice to get her in to them let her watch a clutch grow up , she is in to my ferrets and has shown them and done very well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 IMO it's the best way to show kids responsibility . They want them they have to look after them. If they don't then the pets go. It also teaches them the lessons of life and death. Something they don't learn in school . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
