I'm very new to forums. So I apologize if I ask too many question or don't post in the correct spot. But, I thought I'd introduce myself and my family. My name is Jen, I have a 10 yr old Daughter and we live in ON Canada.
My other kids are a beautiful yellow Canary named Charlie. We think he is around 10ish so yrs.
Buddy is a white and blue Budgie about 3 1/2 yrs old. I was told Buddy was a male but over the yrs I've wondered if he was/is infact a female.
In December we welcomed a pair of lutino? budgies. I was told they were about a yr old and their owner didn't have time for them so we took them in. We were told the smaller yellow budgie with a darker cere was a male so we named him Chase...... yes, he's lived up to his name. Both budgies wings had been clipped. Then the "female" we named Hope. She is yellow and has beautiful greens and black on her belly and wings. But a part of me thought maybe they too had the sex of the birds wrong.....
As time has gone by and to make a very long confusing story short....
as of today I have Hope ( surprise he's the male) manning the outside of the nestbox as mum Chase (female) is sitting with her second clutch of 3 eggs and their 2nd born Chance looks on from the outside of the nest box as he/she turned 1 month on April 8th.....
Ok, Have I totally confused you? Because sometimes I still think it's totally crazy. haha
I've wanted to join this forum for some great support and information on being the best mom I can be for my ever growing family.
I have a lot of questions on what I should be doing right now as the pair have started a second clutch so soon after their first.
Can I ask those questions on this thread or do I post somewhere else?
I sorry this is so long but just wanted to give a bit of a back story cuz I'm sure it's confusing as it is! ha.
I do want to thank you all in advance and with patience I hope to learn how this all works.
Thanks so much.
