This page is available for advanced / experienced (old-time) Budgerigar and Lovebird breeders who wish to discuss or share: linebreeding; inbreeding; hybridization and other breeding methods associated with developing a strain; breed; variety or race.

Do you have what it takes ? Having Championship budgies or lovebirds today does not guarantee entrance. A history of success will. Interest and experience (Good or bad) is more highly valued here. This site will also discuss inheritance theory and its impact on trait transmission will also be discussed (just like over a pint / coffee in the club).

No Flaming will be allowed ! This page is present because the topics are controversial. This site if for those breeders who have been involved in breeding for a long time and have retained their interest through the application of inbreeding and line breeding processes

Why this site ? If one examines the history of Lists, one can see the initial candid discussion becoming more and more closed as time progresses and more people participate who are opposed to inbreeding or know little about it. Consequently admission to this site will require a brief summary of your own experiences with inbreeding or linebreeding prior to acceptance.

Lurking is prohibited. If you are not going to be part of the discussion you don't really have a reason to request membership: rather a few active members than 200 lurkers :-)

Do you really enjoy the sport and the competition or do you prefer to prevent others from reaching the same level and giving you a run for your money? How has politics impacted the fancy?? Only membership will tell:-)
