I was next to the cage so mum could see me, i wouldnt want her going off them.. wood shavings like what youd put ina guinea pigs cage? Thanks

Update... So i have two chicks here are the links.. http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee247/r...CF0060small.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee247/r...CF0059small.jpg well post up new pics next weekend:)

Wow thats gorgeous:)

okay cool, thanks Kaz. I was so worried when i picked them up that i would hurt them, they are so little heehee. The older one has its eyes opened and all, was pretty cool to see. Also what can i do about the nest box? its pretty messy in there should i clean it out or just leave it untill the chicks leave it? Thanks Again

Hey everyone, i took some pictures of my two chicks this afternoon, here they are. The older one is around 3 weeks and the younger id say around 2 weeks, does that sound about right by their pictures? Do they look okay? Thanks Heaps http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee247/r...CF0059small.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee247/r...CF0060small.jpg

i think there was 4 eggs and one chick, im going to check them again on the weekend but i dont want to disturb mum too much as id hate to have her abandon the bubs.......

awww no hug well i want to keep one but im not sure as yet as i have tame ringnecks as well.......

thanks thats what i was thinking but i just wanted to get a few others opinions as well, i have although seen them together on youtube but i guess its really not a risk thats worth taking. thanks guys

No offence taken and i apologise if i came across as being abit abrupt but you really shouldnt assume that everyone that gets on here gets on here because they dont know anything. but anyway group hug?????

Thanks to those for the useful info, ill post up some pics when its a bit older :)and thanks to those for jumping to conclusions. i had a pair of finches in that cage before i got the budgies. the Budgies have a rather roomy nest box. and FOR YOUR INFORMATION, my father and i have had Budgies bofore, but not for many years, so maybe before jumping to conclusions and driving people away by assuming they know nothing you should ask them what they do know.

Hey everyone, some of you may remember me (but i doubt it) im back to just having my two orignial budgies, a pair whom have just layed and eggs and one of which (that i know of so far) has hatched yippee. i now also have 4 indian ringneck parrots, nibbler, sooty fry and ruski, im waiting for sootys wings to grow back and she will be going to my friends aviry as a breeder as she is very viscious (i have the scars to prove it) i just think she would be happier in a big cage where she can fly around. Nibbler is a green fid (i think he is a he lol) is just under a year old and has started talking, he can say hello, good boy and sort of say Nibbler its an exciting time. Fry (another green) looks incredibly highly strung and i found out the other day why (ill post up some links to vids and pics if youd all like to see them) and Ruski is a green lacewing female she is a beautiful bird and has a pretty good nature I hope that you all mite be interested in seeing some pics of my birds that arnt budgies and i look forward to gaining some knowledge about caring for baby budgies and the taming of them thanks

I know that both Ringnecks and Budgies can be a little bossy, but would they get along? or is it a case of they may or may not? thanks

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee247/r...rl/DSCF0071.jpg heres a picture of the parents, the 1st chick ive seen would be 3 days old, how old are they when they open their eyes? thanks

Hey everyone, just wondering what's the best age to remove a chick / fledgling from the box/cage, to tame.... obviously after its weaned or can i do it sooner? thanks

Hey everyone, my pair have just laid eggs and some have hatched.... anyway im wondering (if i supply a picture) if there is any way you guys being the experts can tell me from the parents what sex the babys will be from their colours? thanks

Thanks Karen, im taking cinny (my suspected Fm) to the vet on friday, ill ley you know how that goes

Hi Feathers *waves , the green and yellows ceres is starting to look purplish and the lutinos is still a nice pink, but ill get some better shots soon

So Can bird with FM recover? And we arnt sure whether its contagious to other birds?

Beckham haha

Thanks For that link Karen, very informative, im at this stage undecieded about it all now as the bird id like to tame is sitting on my hand and not going anywhere

im not the sort of person to lay blame on other people for something i choose or choose not to do, and i realise that this site is like anything, all care and no responsibility Thanks for the advice, ive got to call my Vet today about the one spot stuff so ill ask them

Wow i was thinking maybe 4 hahaha cool thanks

I dont know if im really going to have to as the main one i wanted to clip will sit happily on my finger for ages ...

Ill give my vet a call tomorrow and see if they can help thanks:) ps im about to put up some more pics of the ummm cant remember what its called... the yellow one haha
