Hi Guys. Hello to everyone here.

For a long time i was looking out for the crested budgies and today when i went to the store i was shocked.They had crested budgies but not english..they were quite small in size. Anyways bought a few pairs.they
had alll types of crest....tuff,half crest and full crest. i tried to pick out the ones with the full crest.they store keeper said that there wd be no problems breeding them. but as far as i have read on the internet ......they say that many babies will die.........due to the leathel Gene double factor if it is inherited from both the parents. when i asked the breeder he said that so far he had no problems at all with breeding crest to crest.


any one have ever bred crested budgies.

thanks guys

wil post the pic soon.
regards to all

Aside from the fact that I have no experience with crested budgies,
I expect that most of the online information about their care and breeding
should be accurate. Although the supplier might have been able to supply
a large number of those budgies to the pet shop, most probably, the supplier
also has a separate breeding program to maintain the health of his flock,
which would be NOT pairing up birds with very full crests, and selecting enough
breeder birds for size and health and color.
