Budgie breeding!!?

Question

Hi,

Does anybody trim or pluck the the feathers around their budgies vent in order to aid breeding?

As i have seen this suggested on many websites, does it work though?

Answer 1

Trust me, this is totally NOT necessary.  I breed all kinds of birds, and they don't need any help in that area.  It is also painful to the bird when you do that.  Don't breed unless you have homes for all the young and know exactly what you are doing. Budgies are a breed that are completely over bred by people that have no idea what they are doing..

Answer 2

you don't need to...don't

Answer 3

I don't think you need to trim or pluck those feathers.  In the wild, they can do just fine, so just let them be.  Plus, many websites' information is not accurate and outdated.  So be careful of what you read on the Internet.

Answer 4

it might but its never been proven
