Birds FAQs

Budgies come in a wide range of colours and colour combinations. More than a hundred would not be an exaggeration. The Light Green is the natural, wild colour. In captivity, where predators are not a concern, colour has no bearing on health or disposition. It’s a myth that the Albinos and Lutinos (all white and all yellow, both with red eyes) are blind or suffer from extremely diminished vision. Some of the other popular colours are Blue, and the several forms of Pied.

Wild-type budgies are one of the simplest parakeets to breed. The bigger exhibition budgies may pose more of a challenge due to size, feather length and other considerations. However, because they don’t take long to mature (from 9 months to a year) and to be breeding ready well worth a try.
