BREEDING BUDGIES FOR THE BEGINNER

Breeding BUDGIES is one of the most fascinating and rewarding hobbies there is - whether indoor or out. Budgies are refreshingly individual, exceedingly intelligent and bursting with character. The variations in their individual natures equals if not surpasses that of humans. The similarity of their nature to that of humans is astonishing. Emotions such as happiness, sadness, depression, grief, anger and frustration, I have observed in these birds. Behavior such as compassion, vengeance, gallantry, curiosity, suspicion... and even to playing practical jokes, I have witnessed in these birds. These are not birds - they are flying human beings!
