From my experience and as you well already maybe know budgies have a really poor sense of smell, i would wait till most of the smell is gone then relocare it back but move it to another room for the time being, the saying goes Best to be safe than sorry even if it may not do harm

100% Male Yes, i was bored enough to go threw the downloading process

You miss read Shaun....he is dead Well i've been getting a lack of sleep and i skip words when reading sometimes mate Sorry to hear that, It's horrible to lose a budgie speicaly like that my regards

Whoa thats the worst looking attack i've seen, poor bugger, man hens can be nasty least his alive kaz All the best.

Oh good idea, we had a ladder mite put it back up Only reason we removed it because we had a rat hanging around the avairy at the time Thanks Kaz

thank you norm because i do spoil my budgies giving them nice treats i just red up on it myself well ill just hope for the best the mother and father should beable to look after for afew more weeks or a month if not probably going to have them on the ground seeing as they can eat you said "most recovered"?, what did you do with the ones that didnt? just so im prepared for the worst.

Oh really, yeah they're falling out pretty easy, here are afew pictures, BUT 2 of the babies didn't have this problem... baby 1 (3 days younger than the second 4weeks5days old)1, The face is fully featherd By The Way but yeah. 2nd baby one feather in this picture looks like it's about to come out, this was the one that lost like 4-5 feathers when it fluttered it's wings chest is fully featherd and head seems to be the wings and tale with the most effect, this one has only started this loesing of feathers recently if you need more pictures ill take more tomorrow it's gettign dark now Thanks kaz

I noticed today when i brought out one of my baby budgies from the breeding box when it flapped it's wings about 5-6 feathers fell out and the younger baby is worse, is it the mother pruning/preening them too much? shes in there alot lately with the babies i brought a product today if anyone owns this product or has one similar how long does it take to take effect? i dont want grown dwellers or i would of just got some quails, i prayed the box the babies and the mother and father, his got a crusty cene i dont know if that could be due to the loss of feathers, it could be a number of things, they're about 5weeks old.

I've had an experience like this befor kinda, keep us updated, hope everything is okay... It's very stressful for owner and hens, im changing my metho after the hens have their 3-4month break, the seperate breeing cage seems the way to go.

It's a budgie that is going out of condition.

Do you have any pictures, That would be great :rip:

Here is a updated picture i ust took moments ago i couldnt do it outside because it's dark, the markings are very small and slight, hopefully your eyesight can pick it up :rip: mite do another picture another time By The Way shes doing fantasticly well she's a little fluffy angel :hap: love having my own bred pet from my own backyard it's just like home grown veggies :feedbirds:

The father looks amazing, lovely looking bird.

this is of the other baby, im learning on types (semi-chest shot) It's got the markings of a dom pied? it's hard taking pictures of a wiggling worm. (4 weeks 3 days old and flying -Kinda (Face) i thinking a girl?. (Wing) Faint spangle markings? Back #2 Normal picture We're making this as our pet also, the parents of this clutch are so sweet natured and they're both my favorite birds :budgiedance: can someone clear me up with this info? thanks Shaun.

i guess i'm alone in being a crested breeder is it that SHOW sized budgies are the only birds people are now interested in? Yeah it would be nice to see some pictures.

I'm feeding them about 6-8 times a day and using a hot water bottle to keep them hot that i change alot, I've never heard of a Hospital cage? im up all night, if i get heinz how thick or thin? should i make it? I'm trying my best, i hate to see things die how big should the crop be befor stoping each feed? http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb306/m.../Picture390.jpg Thats what i fed my other baby budgies but they were about 4-5 weeks old these atm now are about 4-5days old

She had a messy bold patch around her bottom but shes always had that bold patch, dont know, she looked very tired on my hand soft and relaxed looked egsausted not tense i mean fromn what i see she looked like she was really tired and just gave up on life and died, she was on her breeding box alot of the time and only came out once and awhile her last blutch she had befor trying for this one she only had 1 babyi had tears, feels like it was my fault i hate animals dying and today one of the baby budgies died it was only 2-3 days old it was from that blue mother so theres only 1 left, im giving it Yogurt Natural Pauls with acidophilus which is ment to be good for the body... if this is doing harm then please tell me soon im going to be feed them probably befor i go to bed If you are breeding in an aviary you will get birds of all ages breeding...some too young and some too old. Its by removing the nestboxes and controlling the breeding in breeder cabinets that you will reduce chances of a hen too old breeding. Also easier for you to check on their health and progress. There would have been signs the hen was sick before she died, maybe even a couple of days before. Its really important to be checking the budgies bottoms for signs of illness and their bodyweight by catching them and feeling them. I dont get your "angry at green budgies thing" ....to say green budgies are sex mad isn't right and it is up to you to control your breeding program and not blame a "sex mad" green budgie for allowing an old hen to breed. If too old she should not have been in an aviary with nestboxes and cocks.I never knew how old she was i was just guessing i got her from a pet shop almost a year ago, and shes always eben alittle floppy and dazzy please dont make me feel bad i was hoping for some soupport and kinda words because i suffer from anxiety so i feel twice as bad when something dies around me, anyways thanks kaz...

This will sound so uneducated but last day or so the female blue hen has been getting rid of her babies so im looking after them atm, then today i found her flying but ended up landing on the floor so i picked her up she didn't peck me normally like most aviary birds that don't get touched much do, well i put her back in the box and then a few hours later i check up on her and she died like this http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb306/m.../Picture376.jpg , i got told she was eggbound maybe, i feel like a complete idiot she was a very old bird but thats beside the point,i let something die because i wasn't educated about budgies enough for these situations to occur this gives me a hole new reason why i hate green budgies they're sex made and he makes me angry, but i guess thats nature I thought i;d let out my sadness on the forums because im a very emotional person that loves all animals great and small. I really hope she didn't die in pain

Nice looking bird apart from the messy head All the best my thoughts are with you and your bird no bird deserves to die sadly it's not always the case Goodluck :mellow:

Yeah his the guy who took the famous mark (Laughing out loud) Yeah he looks so much like my baby hopefuly he turns out half as handsome as yours

Haha yeah i guess so The other one got just alittle too bossy and dominant and bite me alot it takes after it's mother so maybe it wasn't made to be a pet i know time and patience would of worked its way around it but it's mother's behaviour will always be there (Laughing out loud) i like passive gentle birds

Well Hello There!! I had a change of my mind I missed my old budgie so much that i think i jumped the gun with choosing the next pet by picking the first born afew weeks later i suddenly noticed this one (One im about to show) getting nice markings and colours i picked it up it seemed so passive and nibbled on me pruning me and snuggled upto me it was like my old butter (my old budgie i had) heres a picture of this baby i finally decided on Tell me what you think of her/him Back Front 1 Front 2 What do you think ? i was thinking about calling it 'Sky' off the top of my head (Laughing out loud)

How big is the cage? are the conditions they're living in clean? do you spoil them? like giving them food treats? making them happy is what i foind to sucessful breeding do you change the water everyday etc all this helps i dont know what you do so yeah Or maybe she wasn't made for breeding i have a bird like that even if their cene is dark.
