Hi guys

You may or may not have read and seen pics of my favourite breeding budgies, Smudges and Cloudy and Gypsy and Tommy in "Introduce your flock". (I think that is where I posted). I thought I would show off my very first babies. Smudges had 5 babies and Gypsy had four. The oldest is just over four weeks old. I am hand taming them and it is going really well I think, they are great therapy I will be selling them privately as pets and am already having dilemmas as to whether I will keep any or not! They are all so darling, especially the older ones who are already showing off their little personalities. I hope you like my pics.......it's hard to get good ones of them now they are so active, it was much easier when they were younger!

Smudges and Cloudy's babies

Gypsy and TommyBoy's babies

Your babies look fantastic. It IS really hard to get photos when they scurry around for sure But yours look great

gorgeous baby's sunnie so cute i agree with kaz you did a good job with the pics:P so many whites!!!

ahhhh look at those cute lil whiteys they look well and healthy

Thanks guys........I am lucky to have good mamas and daddies. They boys are feeding the babies as much as the hens, even getting in the box with them to feed. Is this a common thing? I mean, I think its fantastic the boys help out so much, but didnt actually realise they did. After taking the babies away for handling, when I put them back, Cloudy gets frustrated with Smudges if she is sitting on the perch, cause he wants to jump in and feed his hungry babies! Like I said.....good mummies and daddies

they look great and a agree with Sammie "cute lil whiteys"

Is this a common thing?

Yup mom tend to feed for the first couple of weeks then both will do the work and Dad will be the one the feed the most at the end when teaching them to break seeds themselves. Of cause that doesn't mean they are all like that some dad will do nothing to help.

Is that why I am cleaning so much seed out of the box now?

They are very cute..
