Welcome to our web site !

 

I have been showing and breeding birds from the age of 13 and how time flies! 

 

bloodlines

 

  We first started exhibiting budgerigars in 1987 . Our early birds was brought from a local champion Frank Chapman ,but has sadly left the hobbie like many people these days. Our main blood line now is that of Bob Still, We have since brought outcrosses from Fred Wright and Ricky Watts this year to bring some new blood and features we need to help improve our stud.

 

varieties

 

We only keep a small stud of 50 birds each year which are made up of normals , spangles ,with a few opalines and cinnamons ,this year we have brought a few dominant pieds

 

showing

 

On the show bench we have done quite well winning many best in sections in the AA & Breeder classes and a couple of best opp sex in shows as well as a few challenge certificates along the way

 

 Feeding

 

 We feed our birds normal budgie mix as well as oats , grit ,egg food , conditioning seed ,which are fed once a week as well as cuttle fish and iodine blocks and we also feed chick weed and spinach

 

Water

 

We use plain water which we ad Entrodex (A soluble probiotic which contains guaranteed viable friendly bacteria - vitamins A D and B complex - electrolytes and a source of dietary energy from soluble carbohydrate. Entrodex has been independently proven to contain more robust viable friendly  bacteria )
