Guest Keisha Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 i thought i would do a thread about the mother of the soon to be born baby budgies :parrot: and every time my friend gives me updates i'll post them here. So far there's 3 eggs and the mom is in the nest sitting on the eggs. Now i don't know if all budgies do this, but the male will sit on the eggs when the female comes out for a break. He even takes food to her they are so cute, they love each other and kiss quite abit Link to comment

Look forward to the journey Link to comment
Guest Keisha Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) thanks elly the parents names are jack and jill, and while i was talking to karen, i heard jack talking he was talking to the 2 rats that they have :hap: it sounded so cute i would take pics of them, but karen didn't train them so if you open the cage they will fly out, and they have a cat. But they both are blue and white but once i get my girls, i will take lots of pics Edited March 22, 2008 by Keisha Link to comment

The eggable to hatchable & then on to fledgeables won't be ready for a while. Are you going to visit them often & watch them grow & feather ? I think that would be so cool ! You can tell everyone you saw your bub when it was just a bud ! An ugly pink wobbly big eyed long neck weebly squawking wheezing freaky baby with a gigantic smiley mouth demanding food while it huddled in the corner of the nest box with the other bubs. While they is a poopin every 2 minutes, I almost forgot the poopin part. Dang they are so cute like that ! Link to comment
