How it all started…

In 2010, a budgie breeder friend introduced me to Bourke's parrots and immediately fascinated by the various mutations that had emerged in the meantime. I was particularly drawn to the edged and natural-colored Bourke's parrots. During a visit to a breeder in northern Germany, the decision was quickly made, and I purchased two pairs of wild-colored and two pairs of edged Bourke's parrots. I actually wanted to keep the Bourke's parrots together with the show budgerigars in my existing breeding facility. After a few months, however, I realized that keeping show budgerigars and Bourke's parrots together only worked to a limited extent. The Bourke's parrots bred perfectly, but they didn't really feel comfortable around the budgies. The budgerigars were too restless for them, and the aviaries were too busy. The solution was to purchase a second container and build my own breeding room with significantly larger breeding boxes, also optimally suited for Bourke's Parrots. And so my small Bourke's Parrot breeding facility was born. At the end of 2025, after almost 50 years, I decided to give up my budgerigar stud. The layout of my 9- meter container was redesigned and completely rebuilt to expand my Bourke's parrot breeding facility. Details can be found under the menu item AVIARY .
