They were the exact same size and born on the same day and it could only have been from the one egg. There was no other egg they could have come out of. Parents turned out to be terrible and they allowed two others to die, so I fostered these two to another nest. Here they are developing, still seem to be the same age, same feather devlopment and so far the same colour and markings. Who knows if they are identical. I find it hard to believe what I saw when they hatched and tried telling myself I had it wrong, but I know that they must be twins. These are the parents.... Foster Mum Oprah Foster Dad Winston and the "Twins" These guys spend their time intertwined with each other, never separate. Edited May 3, 2007 by Kaz Link to comment

Maggie and Katie Lilly and Grace Carolyn and Evelyn LOL if they are girls maybe you would like to use those names I like the names. Probably too soon to tell but so far they look like boys. Twins mustn't happen very often. I have been trying to tell myself since they were born, that I was seeing things. Maybe they happen but successful ones are rare due to size. I know when these two were born, Mum didnt feed them so I fed them their first 3 feeds and boy oh boy were they tiny !! Link to comment

I remember being impressed by a larger egg in this nest, but not greatly larger than an ordinary egg. I just thought it was the difference between some show type parents and pet type....their eggs I mean. I guess, if I hadnt fed the babies right from the word go and for 24 hours or so they may have faded away too. Mum budgie certainly wasnt interested in them until I got them livelier and squarking. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. Link to comment

I can't wait to see them all grown up. Congratulations Kaz They hardly ever survive due to being so small or one baby grows and the other doesnt. These two were very tiny, but I fed them their first feeds till their mother took over. It may have helped as they were very weak also. Doing okay now though. :hap: Link to comment
