Ok so here's a full update on my flock (will try keep it short).
I still have 5 little ones. 4 girls (Skittles, Kermit, Sky and Smurf) and a boy (Tequila).
I've recently re-arranged their room, and they love it! (They sleep in their cage, but during the day they're flying about in their room).
Recently (these last 2-3 weeks) they've started fighting. Skittles was/is jelous of Smurf and Tequila - I found blood in the cage 3 times, so I started separating Skittles for the night (during the day, the room is large enough that they all have their own space and don't attack each other). Saturday onwards, Smurf got her own cage as well for the night. However last Tuesday Smurf was hurt and Skittles didn't let her in the cage. So the next day they got a 'punishment'. I was fed up of Skittles attacking the birds, so I left her inside for the day (Wednesday) and I also left Smurf inside so that her foot heals properly before she's out again.
Then the love story got more evident
Between Wednesday and Thursday, Smurf laid an egg.
Current situation: Kermit, Sky and Smurf enjoy their room in peace during the day and the same cage at night, while Smurf and Tequila got their own cage and nest together - which they seem to be happy about (not even bothering to call the others - they're just enjoying each others' company!). More updates on these two can be found in the budgie breeding section
