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

What are you going to name the babies?

The good news is so long as I wait until the moms are out eating I can get the babies and they don't mind. I can even put them back and they don't mind even if they are in there (the box). All the years feeding them has built up trust I guess. Also when I got both moms (sisters) they were clipped so did a lot of rescues as a first impression.

I tried feeding them millet but were like (what is that) so unless I puke it into their mouths I'm not sure the babies know where food comes from yet.

Regurgitation is feed into baby mouths. Puke goes in toilet!

Are the sisters and Clark Jr mating again? My budgies started mating again RIGHT IN THE BOX in front of their KIDS when the kids were 3 weeks old! It continued after she started laying another clutch. She would be brooding the eggs and he would pop in to feed her and the kids but get some action while he was there. She didn't object at all and would just lay more eggs. I replaced them as they were laid with dummy eggs. She laid 11 eggs in her last, third, clutch but I didn't let her keep any. I split up the amorous couple or they would have bred to death.

Actually I saw dot try today but they fell....so I don't think he finished. I really don't want to got for another round of this. I love the babies but these three are enough birbs.

Then you need to remove the boxes as soon as the babies fledge.

They still may lay eggs wherever they can find a spot to do it.
