New year - new baby budgies...?!?

After many years of no offspring with the budgerigars, I have decided to give it a try again now. "Lelenc" and the new girls are old enough to move to a separate cage. They spent their first two days there and were fascinated by the nestbox from the first second. Lelenc jumped in a few times already, and tried to make it a bit more comfortable.

(Please do not expect anything "serious" from this mating, it is just a complete cross of two totally different things: the beauty of the show line and the liveliness of the "everyday" budgie.
Let's see what mother nature brings, but I hope for the bigger size of the show birds, and the special character of the "pet shop" birds at the same time...)

Lelenc, the little budgie, who just decided that he wants to live with us a few months ago. Let's see if he becomes a good father:


Our would-be Mom, still no name, sorry...:



The "honeymoon cage": not too big, not too small: just having everything around that they need in the coming weeks.
