My Budgies have hatched out 2 new babys.They are normally in the avairy but as the weather is so bad they are now indoors and doing very well. I thought you might like to see some photos of them


As you can see I have them in a very large cage so they can bring up the babys and move around.


This is mum and Dad and this is the new ones

Good idea to keep the birds warm for a few weeks.

Yes they will be staying indoors for a least 4 weeks TT I get to handle them as the parents are tame and dont seem to mind which is nice I should have a pair of very freindy budgies

Ugly ducklings spring to mind lol, but I'm sure they will be as beautiful as Mum and Dad ! They must be very contented to provide you with their offspring, well done Donnah :))

Gosh! Well done indeed. I'm glad to hear that you have room for them indoors - I don't suppose they'd survive out there, would they?

How wonderful new babies and a New Year, know they will do well under your watchful eye, when do you get an indication of colour and sex?

Oh how lovely Donnah !

Great to have the budgies hand tame from a young age.
Very useful if you need to give medication or treatment.
Have you bred budgerigar babies at this time of year before ?
You are doing very well with these :o)

Not sure of the sex yet A bit to young They will be kept indoors untill this weather passes. Spritz they would survive out side but I dont think its fair on them. tt this is my first baby budgies and I am so pleased as they are healthy and happy

I am just going to do another short blog on the parents as I have just taken some lovely photos of them

How wonderful Donnah! That you can handle them so young is great, you are right...they will be so tame. How lovely. I used to enjoy watching parent birds rearing their young and how those youngsters developed, when I had an aviary. PLEASE, keep us updated!

I'll look out for the next blog :o)

Thats lovely Donnah and handling them straight away will be so go good for them in the future,its best that they are used to human contact, looking forward to hear how they progress and obviously what colour they`ll be.....

Donnah ~ I had Canaries, Zebra Finches, Bengalese Finches, 2 Cockatiels ~ they had been my sons and in a cage, and Quail to clear up below! There is a picture of some of them on page 6 of my photos. :o)
6 years ago I had to give them up as I moved and have no garden to put an aviary in. :o(
