Finally! The long wait is over. Loved the transition of the different birds. Eagerly waiting for the discussion part! Ps. Dont put bird chirping in the discussion/interview part. It becomes very difficult to focus and understand the breeder! Thanks!

Just a note outside of this video regarding the current attitude of the English Budgerigar: Current birds. I am of the opinion that currently the exhibitions are no longer inspected according to the standard. I also come across birds in various top lofts that no longer fly, do not have a good posture with far too much trouser feathering, so that you can no longer see the legs and there is no wedge shape in the birds. The tail and wing feathers that are too long are a thorn in my side. In my opinion, the varietal characteristics are also neglected. I certainly don't want to go in this direction if I ever start working with budgerigars again (I had a partnership with George T. Jenkins) and I certainly don't want to make any concessions and participate in these 'errors'. In addition, condition is also a prerequisite according to the standard and I refer to a phenomenon such as Jo Mannes who managed to present his birds within those standard requirements for decades. For me the challenge would be to bring birds to the show that impress and are mediocre by default. So do not put types of birds at the front that are of insufficient quality, but quality birds that show good type and present themselves as real exhibition birds. It's also a pity that people always only show the front view, these are beautiful in this video, but now the side view. For the rest, I have to say that the layout of this budgerigar house is great.

I think everyone has a right to breed, the type of bird, they like. I believe most exhibition budgie types can be useful in anyone’s breeding program as long as the breeder knows how to use the outcross. Thank you for watching the video and have a great breeding season.

@@Budgerigar I'll go with you for a few steps, but then I'll stop anyway. Of course everyone is free, a person should be free without any obligation of anything. But if you're breeding show budgies and want to participate in shows, you'll have to follow certain guidelines. Otherwise, you will get a deterioration of the breed. In my opinion, the breeding of the budgie has gone crazy and practically no one breeds that gracefully beautiful style bird any more. They look good from the front, but the side view is often horrible. I am well aware that I am not making friends with this text, nor is there any need to be. Go to most shows and you will see birds with great fat heads, which we used to only dream of, but now look at them from the side, what do you see, generally sagging fluff, which also look up, the so-called stargazers. Where has the SWANKY budgie gone with the almost invisible beak against the chest. 😉

Thank you

[@0sabie0]

Hello, just wondering. Won't they need to have sunlight or UV light? I'm struggling since our climate is too hot for them to have direct sunlight. Nice video by the way, got inspired to have an indoor aviary like yours :)

[@Budgerigar]

Thank you

[@ICEDoTDK]

god job Maarten Heylen

[@AliQerty]

We want a video of Johnny Van Beaver

[@Budgerigar]

Cost lot of time and travelling but I’ll try my best to cover Johnnys stud as well

[@Peter-xe4so]

Birds look great but unhealthy. Feathers on a stick. Should be more like race horses. Beautiful with condition, flying well, smooth feathers, yet wide heads and shoulders. Select for flying ability and centimers distance from stick

[@Peter-xe4so]

Impressive. But unhealthy, rough birds, that can hardly fly and do not stand on their feet. They should be like racing horses: proud, slim and very good condition.

[@Budgerigar]

Hopefully things will change in future. thx for watching!
