How I started
Ever since I was a child I remember my elder brothers always had wild budgerigars in different colors so I have been brought up with birds. Sadly after 90’s we finished all birds due to our studies and we sold all birds to bird market, but in 2002 I decided to start up again, so I with my younger brother bought a single breeding cage, screwed it on the shed and put three pairs of wild budgerigars in with local clay pots as breeding box. These bred happily and this was where it started, I loved watching the chicks grow and all of the colors etc.
Now these were breeding well and this is where my first love of budgies starts. We bought a single big flight type cage attached it on the shed beside and added more pairs of budgies, only wild/pet type we had these for a year or more and they bred many young for us. After couple of years had decided to expand to different species so we built an aviary on 2nd floor of our house and for that we decided to use one spare space of room which already had concrete roof and 2 side walls, so only remaining 2 open side closed with wire mash grills.
In 2003 I seen some modern exhibition budgerigars in a pet of birds market and decided to buy couple of pairs and for that I sold many pairs of wild size plus added some amount from my pocket because price this bigger type budgerigars were about 20 times higher than wild budgerigars which now more than 15 times higher than that time of expansive exhibition budgerigars.
I started breeding them, I loved it, over the next year they were breeding well and then I decide to sell them and move on to something more challenging. So bought a pair of cockatiels and red rumps, got the cockatiels, blue ring neck and some love birds,
