Its just those two alone in that cage.... there are few more right beneath them but its covered with a plastic sheet... no wonder they continue to talk even if they don't see each other...

they started mating since sunday.... jack was all around wooing her and got the rewards for his behavior as Jill accepted.... today it was little different... jack was a bit silent day dreaming on the perch and jill was running all around wooing him... but when Jack comes close to her, she give a nasty kick to him... this going on since the morning....

As regards their diet... we get only white millets in our city here and that's what our shop keepers advise us to feed the budgies.. so, I had to research web and create mixed food which includes :

White Millet
Oats
Black Mustard seeds
Sesame seads
Pearl Millet
Groundnuts
Fried Yellow Lentils/Toor dal
Soyabeans
Cumin seeds
Fenugreek
Green Gram
Corriander seeds
aniseeds
Dried Green Peas

As we don't get cuttle bone, I have settled with egg shells.. powdered the shells and added with the above mixed seed food

forgot to mention the fresh veggies which I feed them every day.. that includes Carrot, beans, cabbage, spinach, corriandar leaves, mint leaves

on a weekly basis, I feed them boiled egg

When you mention beans, do you mean green beans, as the verdict is still out on whether these are safe for budgies.
