Cool. Thanks for the links, Q. I keep several of them for the same reason you cited. They need company, and I can't provide them with that myself a good deal of the time, but they manage very well with each other's company, and they get along well together. I think I have 3 females and 2 males in the cage at present, although it's hard to tell with the fancy varieties who have different colours from the standard budgies. I plan to start breeding them once I've read up on it and provided them with nesting boxes and whatever else they may need.

Those King Parrots are lovely, Jennie!
