About me It all started last year for me (2011) i got a pet budgie for my birthday and got bitten by the budgie bug. i started breeding pet types for pets and the youngsters i sold made just enough to make the seed bills. i then found a forum by chance on exhibition budgerigars and was imidiatley hooked. within a few months i had bought my first pairs of exhibition budgies these birds came from a local breeder bill batrick. i still have all but 2 of the origional stock he gave me. this time last year i hadent even heard of exhibition budgerigars and i would have never guessed that i'd be not just breeding them but be part of a club. this year ( 2012) i've put them birds to use, picking my pairings carefully and starting to build family lines. its a hobby thats got me hooked already and although it has its ups and downs just being in the birdroom at the end of the day makes it all worth while.
