OK so attempt two. Not my attempt The budgies insist.

I used to take Clark (F) GCC out all the time before covid with no leash. Take her to stores and such. Had a mental leash and a similar cut. After covid I just kept birds at home so I stopped doing it and let them free fly. Sadly she passed during covid for unrelated reasons or I probably would have never bought any more birds; or now raised them from infancy.

You've been such a good baby birdie daddy- exhausting, isn't it, keeping everyone safe? I'm sure it's not something you want to do again any time soon. Hopefully your polygamous budgies don't have a different idea. It's amazing how fast they go from an egg to a squirming little pink blob to a fully feathered bird. Starting when Joey was a newborn we took her to work with us at Lowes in her incubator so we could feed her every 2-3 hours. Our coworkers got to watch her grow up right before their eyes. Sometimes when I talk to my now grown up babies I say to them "I remember when you were an egg!"
Rocky is turning 3 next week, Tiki is 16 months and Joey just turned one.

Why do you say you would never have gotten more birds? Do you regret having them?

 

[clark_conure]

No because Clark & Zod were perfect. And I wouldn't have needed any other bird.

 

[clark_conure]

Babies are learning were food comes from.....the little imp ruined the shot but was eating grape and apple.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Who's Zod?

 

[clark_conure]

Another gcc I had like 5 years ago same time as clark. These two were the best.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

What sweeties! What happened to Zod?

 

[clark_conure]

All three babies out now and flying.....Need to start coming up with names. Dad also in photo.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

The blue one is an unusual light blue. Very pretty.

 

[clark_conure]

So what your saying in my blue budgie is prettier than Ottovonruthless316, OK I'll take it. Thank you.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

It's hard to win a beauty contest against Otto!

 

[clark_conure]

Agreed but....would be on the same runway for a photo shoot?

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Baby Blue isn't in Ottos league, sorry.
I'm trying to figure out the mutations that Baby Blue has. He opaline for sure. Take another picture in a better position.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

I think the green one at the top of the picture is a girl.

 

[clark_conure]

Yeah that's zebras daughter.

 

[clark_conure]

Ok maybe peace at last? Probably not, I'm not that naive.... but you can zoom in and see the oldest baby on left side. If I'm not around the GCC is locked up.

 

[clark_conure]

Also F-word f-WORD f-WORD Zebra went back in her box before I had a chance to remove it! She's going again. G-D it,. Can I remove it before she lays then it she will forget it or do I have to do a Whole cycle again??????

 

[DonnaBudgie]

No whole cycle needed but you can let her lay eggs and sub dummies eggs for them as she lays them. And when she's done laying remove the box and the dummy eggs. She will forget about them pretty quickly.
But to make this go better I would remove the male for a couple weeks to allow her hormones to calm down. Then put him back with the flock with NO BOXES.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Has she been mating with her boyfriend?
