Thanks everyone for all the help. Im happy she is not a feather duster, It doesnt bother me if she cannot fly. I have 2 other avairy birds who cannot fly. I have ladders and perches close to the ground so all the birds can climb up. Thankyou

Hi Heres some more pictures.

They have not come out of the nest box yet... I have never seen the father feed them as of yet. Thanks

okay Thanks KAZ The father will feed the chicks by himself right?

I wet the budgies today it was very hot. Aftermath: I also have yet another question. I have neon and thunder in a breeding cage and they have 3 babies (ranging from 30 - 38 days old) I do not want thunder to lay another lot of eggs. So what can I do? She will lay eggs in a few days I can already notice the large droppings and she is mating with neon alot. If I remove the nest box the babies will not have anywhere to shelter. What can I do? I do not want neon and thunder breeding again because every baby has either been plucked or it has french moult and one even looks to be feather duster.

I will get them in the morning. Thanks

Hi Here is the moulting budgie... He is just getting worse and worse.. I pick him up and my hands are just covered in feathers, and he is the oldest in the nest by 2 days but has the least amount of feathers. And this is the budgie that I said was a feather duster. But now I am not so sure.

The grey green one looks to be feather duster and the normal green is french moult... The grey green one is missing no feathers

Thank you very much KAZ for changing my thread title.The babies are 36 - 39 days old now do you think I should put them in a cage by themselves now? Hi I have just checked on all the babies and the babies in neon and thunders nest are not looking to good... The grey green opaline baby looks to be a feather dustuer. and the green normal still looks to be a french moult baby.. I will post pictures soon

Hi How can I change the title of my thread?

okay Thanks very much Maesie.

Hi In 4 days the babies can be removed into a holding cage for a while then moved into the avairy Pictures: This is Beast. He would kill me if he had the chance but he is very caring towards his babies. If one of the babies cant get back to the perch he goes down to the bottom and guides him up. Here he is trying to swoop the camera. See the skyblue opaline: That must mean neon (grey green) is split for blue. Thanks Also, how Do registered users become guests on this site>? I noticed that Joel and Daz and keisha are now guests.

One of my female budgies laid 3 eggs then skipped 4 days and started laying again. So maybe your budgie is just skipping a few days and she will lay more later. Congratulations on the eggs.

Hi The babies range from 37 to 33 days old. Do you think I can seperate them into a holding cage now? What would you do? Thanks

sunflower seeds put alot of weight on my birds.

We should do another one of these tests I did suprisingly well on this one.

Hi I went to the vet today with scissors (Baby cockatiel with scissors beak). He has taught me somemassage techniques that hopefully can fix the problem as he is only very young the beak is not too strong yet. Both cockatiels are out of the nest box now. The babies in neon and thunders nest are honestly looking abit worse for wear... They are all losing feathers. I add shavings to neons nest box everyday but she removes them straight away, it makes the babies very dirty if their are no shavings in the nest box. The youngest baby is skyblue opaline. The babies in summers breeding cage are all 5 weeks+ so they can be removed in one week. They are all very big, they take after their mother who is huge. It is funny because when I put my hand in the cage they all fly down and start nibbling me. I will post pictures soon. Bye

I use untreated wood shavings and kitten litter.

Thankyou KAZ I have made 164 posts on this topic. Followed my KAZ with 89 then comes **Liv** and neat with 22. Followed by maesie at 21. I have just realised how to tell how many times people post in a topic

The babies are very big and can eat and drink on their own now. The baby in neon and thunders nest box is still losing feathers, they are all in the nest box. Good news is the youngest in neon and thunders nesting box is blue.

HI Sailorwolf. Thankyou for your help. I treated him with iverctmin 3 weeks ago for the scaly face and then treated him again yesterday. Still no improvement... Anyway thank you very much everyone for all your help.

Also, Is french moult contagious? Genetic? If neon and thunder bred a french moult budgie, will they definitly have other ones? Or is it random? They have had 2 clutches together before and not a single french moult baby...

I think texas clearbody.

Hi Summer has laid another egg.. I was planning to give her a break and then put her back in the aviary for a while. Should I let her lay another lot of eggs? I have no pairs to transfer to because all other pairs either have full grown chicks or do not have eggs at all yet. This is her first ever clutch so would it do harm to her to let her lay again? Chomper died 4 days ago and they would have mated on that day so that means that the first and second egg should be fertile doesnt it? What should I do? Also, is it safe to remove all the babies from summers breeding box now? They are between 30 - 39 days old. I do not want her attacking them because she is laying again. The chicks actually feed eachother, I have seen it. Thanks very much.
