The Budgie Nest Melksham I'm truly obsessed with all things budgie! I love to support others to have happy, healthy feathered friends. I'm a responsible breeder. Chirpy, healthy chicks!

I breed small numbers, allowing me time to hand-tame, train & acclimatise them in my home.

The budgies love wheat grass and the nutritional content of sprouted seeds is high so, it's a win win! 🌟🌱

Watch the behaviours .... 😋🐦🥰

I propagate seeds for my flock regularly, here's a link to how to do it:

This is Stanley, as he's been named by his new family. He's coming on leaps and bounds. His step ups are spot on! 🤗

Stanley is one of Violet & Mr Grey's chicks. He is 7 weeks old, an opaline grey pet type. I don't know where the time goes! 🤗🐦🕊

I know! Food posts can be boring but what you feed them matters ... My budgies have had dry days (days with no veg or baths to ensure they drank the treated water) for 7 days because of their 3-monthly Ronivet-S preventative treatment. Today was their first day back to normality so I thought I'd give them a big treat. 😋😋😋

I feel so blessed that I have a flock with such a wonderful variety of colours to enjoy every day. 💞🌈What's your favouri...

If you remember last week, there was still a little chick in the nest with Violet but Violet had started to lay her second clutch. For safety I moved Violet's eggs to Buns to incubate and gave Violet false eggs, just temporarily.

Second clutch eggs can often get broken by the chicks clambering around and mum can often get aggressive towards her chicks, trying to keep her eggs safe. I try to help by moving the eggs if I can. 🤗

After the last chick fledged I gave Violet her eggs back and she continued to lay. Today her first one hatched and it looks like another will follow! 🐣🥰

Violet is an opaline violet dominant pied and Mr Grey is a grey dominant pied.

Dried mealworms are a rich source of animal-based nutrients, essential to budgies. They provide various B vitamins including B12, alongside high levels of protein, healthy fats, and minerals.

The B Vitamins are essential for budgies because they support their central nervous system, help convert food into energy and promote healthy feathers, beak growth and skin. A deficiency can lead to severe issues like paralysis, muscle weakness, poor plumage, and loss of appetite.

Some budgie seed is coated in B vitamins, as it's essential for budgies. However, a seed and vegetable diet does not provide B vitamins as they only exist in animal-based foods. Therefore, feeding hard-boiled eggs and dried mealworms provide natural sources. You can also provide Aviform Fetura-12 in the drinking water.😊

Aww, it was almost exactly a year ago that Buns and Robbie had their first ever chick together and my, they created some stunners! 😍

Here they are a year later creating more little cuties 🤗. Buns is a grey normal exhibition and Robbie is a pet type crested violet spangle. Last time they had violets and greys, normals and spangles and they gave me my first crested one, too! 🥰

I can't wait to see how these beautiful little souls evolve. 😍🐣🐥

When you watch the video, look at the egg next to B5. Can you spot what's happened to it? It absolutely amazes me the places shells end up and how on earth they get there! 😮🙈. I had to carefully remove it from the other egg! 🙈🤣
