Posted March 31, 200817 yr HI all, I just thought id drop a quick post to let you all know that despite my iggnorance and having to remove the mother all three babies are doing well (touch wood) The two eldest are eating on their own they they hassle dad still. The youngest will nibble millet and drink water but he is stll mostly relying on dad. I was feeding her but she seems okay so I havnt in about 3 days. I have moved them to the big cage too. The youngest proberly wasnt quite ready but it just wasnt fair on the others and I had a lice / mite prob so I moved them. Im fairly sure that whislt the youngest is now feathered ect his mannerisms tell me he is a little underdeveloped. Perhaps only mentally - considers himself still a baby- but he seems fine. I havnt put the mum back in yet as the youngest is still relying on dad. Will not return her until I see him eating seed. But without bragging, I must say I am proud of myself and the budgies of course, for doing so well. I could not have done it without you all so a big thank you to you all, esp Kaz, Libby and neat. But not forgetting everyone else too. Ill post some pics when I get a chance but just wanted to let you all know and say thanks
