Andrea's Critters

Availability updated 2-4-10

American Budgies: 

No American budgies are available at this time. I will post an update here when I put breeding pairs together. You can email me if you're interested in an American budgie and I'll keep your name on a contact list in order to inform you when babies are hatching.

English Budgies: These are the same species as regular petstore parakeets, but they have been bred for generations as show birds for their fluffy plumage, regal bearing, and gentle disposition. All of my English budgies are close banded and handfed. None of my budgies are inbred or heavily linebred. Many English budgies suffer from a reduced lifespan as a result of unscrupulous breeding practices amongst some hobbyists in order to produce huge, "show-ready" birds. My English birds are completely outcrossed and bred for health and vigor as well as size and appearance.

**Please keep in mind that newly-weaned young birds will not be full size. It takes English budgies time to grow to full size and into their adult plumage.

Individual photos:

#128 Gray spangle female. Hatched in October 2009. She is sweet and tame and with regular handling will make a wonderful pet. $50

#165 - Olive green spangle female. She is absolutely gorgeous with nice confirmation and nice size. She is not fond of being held/restrained and is not terribly tame, but a gorgoeus bird for an aviary, a breeding situation, or with some work a pet. She doesn't bite too hard, but also isn't 100% hand tame either. $50.

#166 - Cobalt female. ON HOLD with deposit.

2-4-10:   More babies are in the works. The details:

Pair #1) Yellowface blue hen X violet spangle cock. One baby will be for sale from this pair - a cobalt. Too young to determine sex.

Pair #2) Cobalt hen X Olive Opaline split lutino cock. Two babies in the nest. I'll know the sex of these babies in 2-3 weeks.

Pair #3) Yellowface blue opaline hen X Olive split lutino cock. Babies hatching now

Pair #4) Lutino opaline hen X Cobalt cock. Babies hatching now.

Pair #5) Bright green cinnamon opaline hen X Olive pied cock. Just placed together; no eggs yet. These will be nice big babies - parents are huge!

Watch for updates and babies to be posted from these birds in the coming months. I expect to have blues, blue series spangles, olive greens, lutino females, and others.

Cockatiels:

No Cockatiels are available at this time. I will post an update here when pairs are put back totgther for breeding. Please email me if you're interested in a cockatiel and I can put your name on a contact list or perhaps even breed a certain mutation if you have a preference. 

If you are interested in any of the birds/chicks on this page, email me and let me know. I can provide you with an update and an idea of when the birds will be available. Email me at andreascritters@gmail.com
