pardon my ignorance guys... but what are the budgies w/mohawks called? I havent seen any of those in the states... but i'm seeing alot of them on forums.

Hey thank you... thats what I was thinking. I should wait 2 more weeks or so. Our 3 month old budgie wasnt as young as they were when we first got him.. and hes used to us. Heres some pics of my little guys.. and their 3 month old big brother http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx131/n...16/IMG_0378.jpg http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx131/n.../IMG_0423-1.jpg This was our first baby after a month http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx131/n...16/IMG_0123.jpg This is him at the present time 2 months later

greetings budgie lovers! So my landlord breeds budgies, he has 6 of them altogether, and we took one of the babies. We thought he was a SHE ... but 3 months later his beak turned blue in those 3 months his mother managed to lay another 4 eggs... and those 4 hatched as well. Our landlord has absolutely NO ROOM in his cage for anymore.. and our cage is huge with only one bird. so we took the babies. Im hand feeding them right now...I read that you are supposed to feed the really young babies (where they have little feathers) every 3 hours. and the more mature babies w/the set feathers about every 6 hours. Im a bit concerned because both my husband and I work... I fed the babies at about 9 am, 12 noon, and 2:30pm before I went to work. I wont be home till 10:30 tonight. They wont go hungry in the 8 hours that I'm not home will they? They obviously wont die but their only babies.. and I'm concerned for their health. I think I might put them back into the nest untill they're in their transitional period of switching from handfeeding to bird seed. I will be posting pics of the little guys once I get home from work. Looking forward to what everyone has to say!
