Posted January 7, 200718 yr Hi im new. Got given a girl budgie and then just recently a boy and then after 5 weeks after knowing each other I now have 2 babies and 4 eggs. To think i was just giving them a home since the people who bought them didnt want them after they decided it was too much work to train them. They were just going to release them into the wild i almost died. I already been in the breeding forum cause i no idea what im doing. Im also in turmoil about what to do with the bubs if all the eggs hatch Ill have six more budgies and i dont have an avairy and i dont want them to end up with the people like i just mentioned. They grow on you pretty quick i must say fiesty little characters.
January 7, 200718 yr Well I would let them raise them for now. When you want to rehome to budgies you could screen the homes that you want to give them to. I'm wondering. How old are these budgies (the parents) and do you have a nest box attached to their cage?
January 7, 200718 yr Author Yes I am to blame for babies, when I got given the boy they gave me the cage to which had a nest box. I knew they might breed just wasnt prepared for so fast and then now that I hav babies Im scared to give them up incase some bad pet owners get them. The girl she is about 2 years think dont know bout the boy. Think i might remove the box once they done One i dont want more babies and two I dont want my girl to breed herself into a early grave. Get quite attached quickly
January 7, 200718 yr Well she is definately old enough to breed. So that is okay. I wouldn't worry about it too much as you feed them a good diet and look after them well. When the babies have moved out of the box then you could remove the nest box. Do you have any pictures? We love pictures here. Edited January 7, 200718 yr by Sailorwolf
January 7, 200718 yr Author I have left a link that should get you to the pics of chip and lola, lola is not been very cooperative to the camera plus she thinks im after her eggs. Chip the ever faithful father sits by the nest box all day god love him. Im wondering what colours the babies will be but dont know the parents lineage so ill have to wait Well i see it comes straight up thats great Edited January 7, 200718 yr by kerrie
