February 21, 200817 yr Author 3 days until the first eggs, that is Milly's first and sebby's first should hatch. Nervously waiting........
February 22, 200817 yr Author I am so impatient. I am like Violet form Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - "I want it and I want it NOW!!!!!" Â Ah well, 2 days to go. Â i will check again with the egg count when i get home. getting more and more hopeful with Tralia. she sleeps inside, hangs out in the nest box, and looks for Nibbler to feed her. here's hoping she wants to lay.
February 22, 200817 yr A show breeder I know who has the same waiting game going as you do, has set up a webcam on the pairs breeding cabinet so he knows if its actually happening when he's not there. Maybe he can market the video as budgie **** in the future :hap: :hap: Edited February 22, 200817 yr by KAZ
February 22, 200817 yr Author You know, that is not a bad idea, not the budgie ****, but the webcam. part of me thinks that is great. I could do that. Â Anyway, that is for another day as there is even better news. I did a check of the nest boxes when I came home. Â Sebby and Cheese have 8 eggs with the first is due to hatch Sunday 24th February. This is all she will lay, so it is a waiting game now. Â Milly and Humprhey have 5 eggs with the first is due to hatch Sunday 24th February. This is all she will lay, so it is a waiting game now. Â Angel and Hugo have 4 eggs with the first due to hatch on 10th March. Angel may lay more eggs, so we will see what happens here. Â Tralia and Nibbler have their first egg - woohoo - layed today. I am so excited. This is such great news. I am so pleased. 24 days from now is the 16th march, so here's hoping all is good, with many more eggs to be layed from this pair.
February 22, 200817 yr WoW !! Dave ....they are all doing so very well......you had better double the size of your aviary :hap: Edited February 22, 200817 yr by KAZ
February 22, 200817 yr everything sounds like it is coming around wonderfully, can't wait to see pictures
February 23, 200817 yr Author I will take new pics in a couple of days, that way i can wait to see if some new little ones are born
February 25, 200817 yr Author Egg update  Sebby now has 7 eggs, and 1 little bub. I had forgotten how small the newborns are.  Milly still have 5 eggs  Angel is very protective - she will nip and screech to get you to stop lloking in her nestbox. No leaving, jsut noise and a show - 4 eggs, at least  Tralia - 2 eggs now.
February 25, 200817 yr Sounds Good Dave... and your first newborn for the bunch... Congrats Grandpa :hap:
February 26, 200817 yr Author okay, new update with pics included. Â Sebby and Cheese now have 2 bubs. they are working 100% so far. They are so little, pet budgies breeding, damn my soft heart!!!!!! Â Milly and Humphrey have their first. They had much bigger eggs, so I expect a bigg bird. Humprhey is strutting like I have never seen strut before - funny old fellow is Humprhey. Just noticed that one of Milly's eggs cannot be seen in the photo. She might be sitting on that one. not sure. She has never eaten one, and it is not on the cage floor. I would say she is giving one extra attention. Â I was unsure if Hugo and Angel would work well together, but I am so pleased I paired them now. Angel is very aggressive, protective mother, so I was unable to get a shot. Good news is that she has 6 eggs, and they are all fairly large, like Milly's. hope they get Dad's size, and his sweet temperament - (Laughing out loud). Â Tralia and Hugo now seem to have they hang of this egg thing. They now have 3 eggs, as canbe seen in this blurry picture. Sorry, try better next time.
February 26, 200817 yr Author Honestly, I did very little - (Laughing out loud). Â Really looking forward to more hatchlings, and from all parents now. Â WE ARE A GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 26, 200817 yr Hiya Dave,  Looking good! These little pink jelly beans really can melt the heart, can't they   Feathers.
