Yay thankyou. Yes. Isis stood on it before, but it was okay. It still has its little umbilical cord

Well it survived the night. It hatched around 1 am this morning. I'm just worried, because my last baby got squashed and died only one day after hatching. Should I put a divider up in the nest box? Well I put the babies back in the nest box. I'll just have to hope that the little one doesn't get squashed. I think it has a good chance as Isis sits on it but the bigger babies sit around Isis.

Can I have Jangles?

Yay. cool

Don't worry. She will be fine. my 5 year old female laid 11 eggs and she is fine. Don't seperate her from the male as she needs him to feed her and she will carry on laying eggs regardless of whether he is there or not, they just wouldn't be fertile that's all. Leave them be for now they are fine. Go read up about breeding budgies some more,

Hehe. I know the feeling. Ooh I can't wait.

okay. I looks like I might have a cobalt opaline. YAY. I've always wanted an opaline!!!! The yellow faced spangle looks lke it will be diluted. ooh. Excited. My dad has taken off with the camera. So can't get any pictures at the moment.

I just hope the older babies don't get chilled. They have down.

Don't bee embarrassed. I didn't know what mine were for 4 years.

Just keep an eye on her and keep her somewhere warm. Bt I would suggest taking her to a vet.

Yay one of Saff's eggs that I fostered to Isis has hatched. However Isis's babies are already 2 weeks old. I'm worried that they will trample the new baby. I don't think i can really give the baby back to Saffy as she is staying ff the nest now and she let all her other eggs go cold last night. What do you think I should do. For now I am going to take the two older babies out and put them in a box in side the cage so that the father can feed them. Is this a good idea? Help! Thankyou very much for your replies.

Oooh. You're picking it up today aren't you? Yay. Be sure to get some photos.

You may get half green and half blue babies. But look at my first post, as I told you what kind of pied babies you will get.

Welcome to the forums. We look to seeing those babies.

Izzy likes to flirt with the cage bars. Arkady likes to flirt with his little bell preener toy, or my watch, or finger. Sometimes the two boys flirt with each other at exactly the same time, both doing their little happy dances in the opposite direction and then coming back at each other to reunite their head bobbing. Once Arkady flirted with nothing. He was sitting on the perch bobbing his head and flirting with fresh air.

Thank you very much Karen. You have put my mind at ease.

Wow. My goodness. The poor family and the poor boy. His handraised Cockateil. That's horrible. They obviously loved their birds very much. Poor family. I know I just couldn't bear it if I came home to something like that. Any further news on what is happening with the two budgies? The family might like to meet you and thank you for saving their birdies.

Oooh I can't wait to see this avairy Feathers! How many birdies are you putting in it? Karen, you are such a nice person.

They are so cute. It is amazing how different their blues look each time we see them.

Saffy doesn't seem to be incubating her eggs so much any more. She seems to be off the nest a lot more. So I candled the eggs, found 4 that looked like they were fertile. Isis is still incubating her two unfertile eggs, so I took two fertile eggs from Saffy's clutch and put them under Isis. I hope this was the right thing to do as Isis has her two chicks which may spoil the eggs. But once the eggs hatch I'll put the chicks back in with Saffron. Is this a good move? Thank you for your help.

Hehe sounds like a good story. :ausb:

Name: Arkady Mutation: Yellowface type 2 sky blue Age 10 weeks Aquired from Pet shop Arkady now at 14 months: Nmae: Isis Mutation: Yellowface type 2 fullbody colour greywing mauve spangle. Age: circa 3 months Aquired from petshop: And now at circa 15 months And here they are together: It is so interesting how the yellow on Isis makes her look olive now and Arkady is almost completely green. I don't have ay pictures of Izzy and Saffron when they were younger. :ausb:

You can buy an avian disinfectant from your local petshop, whihc is good for cleaning.

Wow. Kerrie. You poor thing. I'm glad you did check the avairy for those budgies' sakes. I would have done exactly as you have done and I commend you. I don't think you'll get into trouble or anything. It is worth it for those two little budgies and the third one that had its suffering relieved before it died.

Well the babies are now 10 and 9 days old. The older one is a yellowface spangle and has an orange beak. The younger one looks like a blue normal so far and has a black beak. They are so cute. They are so funny when I put them in wood shavings outside their nest box, especially when they have to poop. The spread out their little wings and then wiggle their bottoms, like they are dancing. They are sooooo cute!
