So ok the world of keeping budgies has moved on in the last
20 yrs...lol or is it the internet and this web site that has opened my eyes to
amount of stuff you can buy for budgies…in food and supplements disinfectants…
so as I’m setting up a new aviary (pics to follow once I can work out how to upload
them lol) BB has helped a lot with sites to visit..And I’m so grateful to him
for that, but could anyone please advise me as what I need to start off with in the way of supplements disinfectants the right bird seed or seeds… I mean like if
there was a starter pack I could buy what would it consist of?? I’m thinking of
starting off with 6 birds, 3 cocks 3 hens, 10 months to 2 yrs old…

Hope you don't mind but I'm going to be keeping an eye out for replies to your questions... I hope to build an aviary in the Spring so all tips and pointers welcomed.  |

As a new breeder or returning after a while, people end up buying more stuff what they actually need or require. So be careful about that. The BirdCareCo has many products which a breeder can not survive without, but also some which are not so useful. I will ask Barrie to have a look at this thread and advise you about an initial list of very essential medicines and supplements a breeder needs in UK. |
