Hi, i am a first timer and have 8 baby budgies..all seems to be going well so far they are all beautiful. Just discovered today baby #4 is an Albino, pure white with red eyes..do I need to do anything special for it?

Thanks

Hi and welcome . Do you have some photos of your babies? We love photos

 

I don't think you need to do anything special with the albino.

I think if you just take a quick picture, maybe while you are cleaning the nest box it should be okay . I think too much of flash wouldn't be good.

Normally Albinos are just as tough as any other Budgie…so you don’t have to do anything different, 8 is a big batch for Mum & Dad make sure you give them plenty of variety of greens & do you mix up any softfood that would help. You will find some recipes on here if you do a search.

 

Taking photos shouldn't worry them.

Hi, thanks for your reply

I've mixed up egg & biscuit a few times but they won't eat it. I give them multi grain bread soaked in a little whole milk and sprinkled with sugar saw this on Dr Harry a while back they love it. They get fresh greens and fruit everyday, also someone said i'ts not good to give them lettuce is this true?

Look forward to a reply

The darker leaf greens are better than lettuce. lettuce is full of water and not as nutritionally good as the darker leaf vegies. I wouldnt add the sugar on the bread. I love Dr Harry, but I disagree with him here Sounds like your birds are doing very well with you as their owner
