Best ways to start flock?

💬 Discussion

just the title.

What's the best way to start a flock? I was thinking two hand-reared budgies to start with. Maybe hand-fed from their chick stages. After that, I'd add budgies of similar ages.

I thought two hand-reared ones because there wouldn't be any sexing issues, and then when you could tell their sexes you could add gendered budgies to make male-female pairs. Or maybe male-male pairs if both starting budgies were male.

I already have some lovely budgie, I was just curious about how you'd achieve the best start since the wiki doesn't cover it yet. And I was wondering about how you could get any new budgie's trust, too.

Does that sound plausible? Any thoughts are appreciated!
