A Friend For Stevie

[Stevie]

Stevie has a new friend besides me!!! Meet Ronnie! Also named after a Schitts Creek character! I know training / taming two young ones together will be more of a challenge but I love a challenge and love knowing what a wonderful life these two will have with me!

 

[ParrotNuts]

Ronnie is very cute!
By the way, I'd suggest to remove the tent, they can be dangerous for birds

 

[Pat H]

Ohhh... BEAUTIFUL!

 

[zoo mom]

They are so cute together.

 

[Stars]

Beautiful. Agree about removing the tent. As well as being dangerous, it can cause them to be hormonal, which will make them aggressive.
I’m training two young ones at the same time as well and so far it’s going great!

You’ve probably mentioned it somewhere, but are they EBs (English/show Budgies)?

I’m not sure…. All I was told is that the breeders that breed & show them are extremely pedantic about their colours for showing (it’s a big thing in my area apparently!) the ones they deem not good enough for showing so they sell them cheap at a local store near me. But that’s just what I’ve been told….. I don’t know anything about bird showing but obviously there are certain colour traits they need to be successful?

I just know they look nothing like the wild budgies that used to live near us before we moved here….

They look like EBs to me, but not super fluffy.
I don’t know a lot about showing, but I believe each colour has to look a certain way to be considered a good show bird.
For example my female EB wouldn’t be a great candidate for showing as she has “flecking” on her head, which are just black spots.
Like I said I don’t show I just read a lot

Yep I know zero about showing budgies I think they are all beautiful!!!!! I only know what I was told from who I bought them off and it wasn’t the direct from the breeders he passes than ones he can’t use for showing to a local produce store. All I know he said people that show budgies here are VERY serious about it!!!

I think I have noticed the flecking you are talking about on Ronnie…it’s a around his cheeks tho…just a few scattered specks. There was a budgie in the cage with them that had a fluffy head more than the others… not sure if he was from Ronnies breeder or not…

Everyone rest easy tent is gone!

The black spot in their cheeks are throat spots.
This Emelia if you look at her head you’ll see the black spots
