What is this seed that comes in my Trill brand mix? - it's in both budgie and tiel mixes It is not mentioned on the packet and i am hoping its not a "Filler" (to add weight to the mix) :glare: It is always the only seed that is left over in the dishes????? Thanks

Everything has been said so i just want to add Hello and welcome

(((Hugs))) I don't know what else to say.... thinking of you and (((BIG HUGS))) :angel1:

I am bad. I have a small mirror in my aviary... Pheobe is the only one who plays with it - she is a little scatter brained and it works for keeping her from pestering the others hehehehe I might add - it works for her... but if the others start to play with it too then it will be gone quick smart!

Sounds like its going well so far Now It's like watching paint dry before you can have fun redecorating your aviary

More pictures.... They have more feathers and are getting little personalities now This is the oldest chick and again This is the cinnamon baby - she is really brown and has this gorgeous dusty grey/sky blue coming though And the lil one... always seems so behind... its amazing what a week does.

YAY!!!

When it hapens to me i remove the Hen and any of the fledged chicks and put them in a separate cage together until the chicks are weaned and dad can raise the other chicks that are still in the nest.. BUT You have a troublesome hen right?? They will need their dad if there is no one else to feed them until they can eat on their own.

This behavior is quite common... my male is doing it to his chicks too... He gets confused as the beg for food from the chick is like the mating acceptance from a hen...

There will be 10, so make your picture and I will send a little fledgable your way I AGREEEEEEE :hap:

hahaha - i was thinking the same thing with that first picture. hahahha love the new word too I have been lucky my tiels and budgies get a long great - i dont over crowd my aviary so that might be why it works for me

Hope that helps

Very informative... looks like it would be scary to do the first few times

Thanks, She is a real sweety. I bet she is missing her sister... she is probably only a couple of days away All my babies are "pre-tame" -I am always holding them and making sure they are okay. I wouldnt have it any other way

I'd show you how to do it but you are about 2 hours south of me Perhaps PM Sunnie... she might be able to help???

Congrats on the eggs. the parents sound lovely and i am sure the babies will be too. Has your friend bred budgies before or is this her first time??

I have 10 babies that are going to fledge over the next few weeks... I absolutly love it when they are so new to the world and still so young. So i thought i would put lots of pictures here and introduce each baby on their firist day out of the nest. Today Cutie is the first to came out of the box. She has a sister who will be close behind She isn't doing much on her first day out, but she is lovely to handle. "I haven't got any friends " "You're my friend - yay " "You're not very tasty - could you add millet to that please" I Love them at this young tender age :hap:

Looks like they are having a ball I like the way you attach it to the wall - very cool :hap:

I'm so sorry (((Hugs))) :hap:

Great information Kaz :hap:

Hello and welcome Your budgies look lovely. I am sorry they are not the babies you thought they were . Petshops :hap: With the leg ring.. are they metal or plastic. If its just a black plastic ring, it means nothing. If its a metal breeding ring with numbers on it, then someone has been very bad in putting that ring on your little sweety.

millet spray in the nest box could help. the babies like to pick at it and will often start eating on their own before they leave the nest Oh and if the babies are bitters then i would say you are right in the lady not checking on them. Babies that are handled daily normally dont bite as chicks and if they do its not hard.

Thats Awesome - he is a very clever boy :hap: i love talking budgies :hap:

Ohhh.. Thats horrible I hope they are going to be okay. Good luck with Neat :hap:

Well i must have some super easy-going birds as my set up is all wrong, but i haven't had any problems at all :hap: Oh, except the problem for not knowing who the father of most of the chicks is hehehehe I currenly have a happy threesome happening - one hen - 2 males, all feeding "their" chicks
