Hi everyone, so I am new here and I will take the time to introduce myself later.
So we have budgies and they have had some babies, my dad breeds budgies, she has 3 fully developed babies and from the same clutch she has a little one who is barely got full feathers. So the three came out and mummy bird kicked out the baby baby. We put him back in and she kicked him out of the nest box. she has now layed an egg and last time when she layed an egg with a baby in the box she killed the baby. This little one is gorgeos so I couldnt let anything like that happen to him! I have put him in a nursery cage and have some parrot formula which I am trying to feed him every 4 hours 4 times a day.
So my problem is: he doesn't eat a lot and his crop doesn't seem to be full because he won't eat much! So how can I get him to eat a good proper amount? And what is a good proper amount? Also little Rufus only weighs :30 grams. Is that ok/ a healthy weight?
Any help will be so much appreciated! thank you Penny xx
