2 Females?

[Kath/Gaz]

We will be going this Saturday to look at 3 budgies for the avairy.....however is it a good idea to put another female with Madam Bede....I would rather be safe and ask the question now then create an issue later in the aviary.....

All the budgies are 4 months old and there is one boy on his own and the other two have become a husband and wife team according to the owner....the boys are brothers but the little girl is from a different clutch.....

Ages of the herd:
Madam - 2 in Sept.
Ollie - 1
Aidan - 1 in Aug.
Gilbert - have no clue but would think 9-12 months

Hello When you say aviary.. Do you mean something like

6ft x 6ft x 3ft min. If so things should sort them pretty quick

once Madam has shown them who's boss. In a cage situation

the lack of space is a different matter. Yours B.J.

Just to clarify you would end up with two cocks and two hens? There shouldn't be any problem with them all living together in an aviary

I currently have 11 hens to 3 cocks in my lutino flight,and more hens than cocks in the other.

Thank you for your posts.....if we get this pair then it would be 2 females and 4 males.....and the out side flight in the aviary is about 6ft x 4ft.....if we only get the one boy then we will look for another budgie to make up the numbers to even rather than odd....
