When i was feeding my babies i put them in a 4 liter icecream container, slice some air strips half way from one corner with a teddy bear for comfort and clean wood shavings, (if you have any), they were warm and safe, foor wise if you have any egg and biscute mix that might help!

Hi Daz, no it isn't apretty sight, the feathers are slowly but surely growing through the new skin. :budgiedance: The budgies are about 12 months old and have had 4 batches with no probs. :yellowhead:

Thanks for your reply, The parents weren't plucking their young feathers, but ended up really hurting them and ending up covered in blood. This has never happened before. The babies feathers are slowly growing back on the back of their heads now but i will keep your suggestion definately in mind for further use.

I have a pair of budgies that were breeding very well, and were both good parents until this last batch where they decided to try and eat the back of the babies heads. I am now hand rearing the babies and they are doing well. Could anyone shed some light on why would the parents do this? thankyou
