I am not expert though Link to comment
Guest Irene Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Oh my gosh! He looks STUFFEED!!! Is it okay for them to get THAT full? I've never seen that before! Thanks for the tips, I will go get some wholewheat bread tomorrow and give it a try. ) Thanks again. Dave Oh my gosh! He looks STUFFEED!!! Is it okay for them to get THAT full?

Dave Dave, Multigrain bread would be better than wholemeal if you can get it. Try sprinkling some millet seeds on top. and perhaps he might start nibbling a bit of lettuce or other greens.

Guest DW1868 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 He/she is one month old today, and still very healthy. Thanks for the tips, I will probably try some millett today, hopefully that will help the transition! Thank you all for your help! Niko is fast asleep now, and stuffed after a full meal. :feedbirds: Dave Link to comment
Guest Phoebe Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 That's great Dave! Better that you stay with the natural seeds and offer bread/toast as a treat from time to time. Although, a bit of real egg mixture wouldn't hurt at this stage of development. Link to comment

As to being that stuffed, there can be troubles with sour crop arising where the food stays in the crop for too long and then the digestion slows down and can completely stop. If this happens the crop needs to be flushed out by a vet before any more feeding is to happen. Link to comment

Guest DW1868 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Niko is doing well, and is sitting on my shoulder as I write this. He's just started to wean (thank goodness!), and has been eating well on his own these past two days. I'll post some more pictures of him soon. Dave :feedbirds: Link to comment

Guest DW1868 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Looks like he's going to do just fine. He's weaned now 100%, and loving living at the house, instead of the aviary at the theatre. It rains too much there anyway. (Obviously) He helped us decorate. Any ideas if he's a he or a she? Probably hard to tell from this picture, but I'll post a new one in a day or two.

Guest DW1868 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Just a random update... thought you'd like to see this little video. None of my other budgies have ever liked to be scratched on the head... of course, now that I say that I noticed the little icon of the bugie dreaming about a head scratch... but the experience is still new to me, and we've had budgies since I got out of diapers... so it's been at least two years now.

Guest Phoebe Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 What a sweetheart! I can tell you have a very special touch for birds Dave, some people are cat people, some people are dog people, some people are bunny people (and on it goes) but you clearly are a bird person. Link to comment
Guest DW1868 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Thanks!
