I know its not going to harm them but from what I've learnt is that the parents provide "crop milk" to their chicks ( a bit like humans milk for babies which has loads of goodness) and this is the case also for baby birds. So if I was you, I would leave well enough alone and let the parents feed them and then when they get a bit older maybe then you can start hand feeding them. I just thought I'd let you know that little snippet of information as I know how much you love your budgies and I dont want anything to happen to them!!!! Link to comment

Really? I just thuoght it would be good to suppliment when young... Belles doing a great job...and both babies are FULL this morning...The oldest baby is startig to get dark markings on his back What i mean is his back markings near his bum are coming in... And ive decided NOT to name them yet...as they suit the name "Baby 1" better then Diego or Skye as i dont know their sexes...colours, and they dont even look name worthy yet (Laughing out loud) :ausb: Kirby Link to comment

I have my own incubator but the real thing is better. Link to comment

Guest Phoebe Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Sorry about the babies that are gone Kirby. I know when Star and Comet where having the clutch that contained Lemon, Citronella and Sunshine, they kept throwing their first one out of the little thingee I had made for them (remember these are the couple without a nest box). I put the little thing in my bra and warmed it up and put it back but they turfed it again and then it quickly died. I believe Bubbles said that parents instinctively know when there is something wrong with their offspring and choose to ignore them. Link to comment

He was just to little, young, and small... :ausb: Didnt cry once, had not a single thing in his crop unlike the others when they were born..and overall was very non-motionless Anyways, im happy my 1st timers are being WONDERFUL to the current 2 babies :dbb1: And they are growing huge! Baby 1 has already started growing dark feathers on his/hers back, head, and the base of its wings...and his eyes are much more open Hes so cute when he looks at you when you open the nest box...its kinda a dazed and confused "Who the heck are you" then he cries non stop Kirby Link to comment

I have 7 princess parrot eggs due to hatch this week, so am very excitied about that. I have started incubating 3 King Parrot eggs in my incubator and it is fascinating to see the embryos develop. Even better when they begin to peck at the shell at hatching time!! :dbb1: Link to comment

Egg 5 (this will be baby 3 when it hatches and if it stays alive...but in all its the 5th egg that has hatched...) is chirping So..*** be born tonight!!! Hopefully all goes well with him or her (meaning she gets fed by Belle) as a 'guinea pig' baby since im gone this weekend... So i will at least have some hope if this baby is fed and i wont have to worry to much about the others passing when i leave for my cottage Well see! I put lots of food dishes in cage for Kirby to eat...and celery, carrots, and lettuce...So that will hopefully increase Belles 'milk' and feed lil baby 3 Will see! I have a good feeling about this baby as hes a squeker allright! Non stop crying and you can hardly tell his egg started to crack. So hopefully *** get Belle into the mood... Here are piccies!!! Baby 1 and 2 :ausb: Oouch!!! My eyes are burning!!! Just becuase im the oldest doesnt mean you get my out of my bed first...Im still groggy! I guess ill cuddle... Zzzzzzzzzzz...... See my feathers coming in??? Im a blue! Like my daddy knew... Hey sis! How nice of you to join me! Where the heck are we? Hey guys! Im the youngest one... (not for long ) Kirby Link to comment
