That's also very heart warming I'm just filled with many, many questions but many have been answered there's still alot I don't know yet though I've owned birds for only 3 or 2 years, they've never laid eggs before so it's my first encounter with such things š
The first was infertile. The second tried but probably died about half way there. Candle it again in two days. If no change it's dead. The good news is you have a BABY! It's such a thrilling feeling, isn't it? Make sure you start handling the baby in a couple weeks if your Mama bird allows. You don't need to hand feed it unless it's necessary but early handling makes them easier to tame.
Yeah, I just wanted to be sure. I want to make sure that lemon can have her babies and make sure that none of them really fail. For Her for being a first time. Mom, I'm really happy with how she's doing with the one baby she has currently. ā”
The baby budgie died?
Oh, Iām so sorry š¢! Sadly, this can happen especially with an inexperienced mama bird. It wasnāt any oneās fault. My condolences for the loss of your little baby šā¤ļø
Candling is using a bright light to see through the shell and into a developing egg. It doesnāt give a perfect view, of course, but allows the person looking to see things like developing blood vessels which tells them if an egg has a chick or if itās empty and infertile with no chick. Itās called candling because back in old times farmers would use candles to check chicken eggs. Nowadays, a high powered flashlight works much better!
