Tips for first time breeder!??

So i was wondering if i should breed my budgies or not and i want to no the risks and what i can do to prevent them  they mean the world to me so i want to no what im doing

I wouldn't right now. There is A LOT involved with breeding budgies- their set up, diet, health, well being, eggs and the chicks. You have to know EXACTLY what your doing before you even attempt at breeding them. My advice is to read up on breeding budgies and don't be afraid to ask questions here on the forum. When you think you know what your doing, maybe ask a family member to give you a little quiz, because if you start before you are completely certain with what your doing, you may end up losing more than you started with. I am speaking from experience. I lost one of my gorgeous hens, Charlie, from egg binding in 2010 because I didn't know exactly what I was doing and every day I always think what would have happened if I did something different. Please wait. I know everyone on the forum will help you build up your knowledge so we can watch your little buds have a family of their own
