Breeding Season
For the normal production of exhibition budgerigars for breeders concerned with showing, the breeding season commences anytime between September and November when their stock is in its first phase of breeding condition. At this time, heat and especially light in the birdroom is essential and in addition to this, due to inclement weather and other untoward conditions, this is not always the easiest time for production of numbers. In the Northern hemisphere breeding condition re-occurs again in early March, when the days are becoming longer and the weather warmer; this is a great time for breeding budgerigars.
