Re: Baby budgie update :)
Oh I know, I would take a hundred baby birdies before I'd sign on for one baby human, at least at this point in my life. About 3 years ago I quit my job at the petstore to stay at home with my room mates new born(my godson). We realized that daycare cost more than I made in a week so it made more sense for me to just watch him....let's just say after a few months of that I would have killed to go back to that pet store
![]() He's really taken to the spoon, much better than the syringe, he sucks it down sooo fast now that he's gotten the hang of it. He's gotten much better about not swallowing air now too, he still does it, and you can see that I have to burp him twice in that video. But only a week ago I was having to do it about 10 times per feeding and it was taking almost 20 minutes to feed him, now, as you can see, his entire feeding only takes about 3-4 minutes ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Baby budgie update :)
Update: 25 days old, wings are getting bigger and he's getting much more strength, his voice is getting louder and he seems to be staying awake much longer. Before, he only awoke for about 15 minutes at a time, every 3 hours to be fed. Now he seems to awake and peeping for about 20-30 minutes at a time and it's not always to be fed. He also seems to recognize our voices now and will wake up and start crying if he hears or sees us

Re: Baby budgie update :)
Hi,
I am new here but did breed budgies when I was in highschool. Yours might just be a late bloomer. Mine were always full fledged and climbing cage bars by a month old. (climbing out of the nest box at just two weeks). I always parent raised mine as I was in highschool and have read research that it is better for the baby if it is an option (like breast feeding, not for everybird, no judgement). Mine were handled daily from about a week old by me and my sisters during nest changes and since they were always hatched in late spring we would take them out and let them be with us while we did homework and what not. I got very good reports from the new parents when I would do my two week checkins and many people waited to get a second bird from the same mom and me. Sorry I dont have any truely useful information for you. |

Re: Baby budgie update :)
Well, our little icky is five weeks old today and he is making a lot of progress. He is standing a little better and he has started "perching" on my finger as I feed him now. He can't do it by himself yet but as long as I put his feet on my finger, like a perch, and give him some extra balance from my palm, he holds on pretty nicely. He is finally getting fuzz on his body and has blue pin feathers like crazy! He is eating well, taking thicker formula and it is now every 5-6 hours rather than every three. He is so friendly, he can be dead asleep and if he hears our voices he starts chirping and trying to get out of his brooder to get with us. I can even place him on our bed and he will run after us
![]() ![]() Oh, I also recently made a facebook page for our newly blossoming breeding endeavor. If anyone cares to friend me, you can just look up Feathers-First Aviary on fb ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
