Posted October 1, 200816 yr I checked as the males grassies were a bit antsy. Opened the box to see Mrs Whistler and something else . . . Aren't they sooo cute? . My elegants eggs I think are infertile:
October 1, 200816 yr They are very cute :rofl: They look a little like the Princesses we had hatch today. How big would you say they are roughly in comparison to a budgie ?
October 1, 200816 yr Author Roughly the same size - although they do look bigger with the fuzz. Mum doesn't mind me handling them, before the box was back on the shelf she was sitting. I love Bourke's, they make great parents. :rofl:
October 1, 200816 yr Now those are cute baby birds, not many out there but they are sweet , thank you for sharing. :thumbs_up:
October 8, 200816 yr Author 3 hatched chicks, last egg infertile. They are finding their voices too, after about 3 minutes of holding them they started complaining - loudly so under the watchful eye of Whistler I put his babies back in their box (got a thank-you whistle from Whistler). Here are their Royal Cutenesses:
October 17, 200816 yr Author Updated picture of the bubs, they can really kick up a storm with their squawking now!
October 17, 200816 yr Author That's actually a new egg, I threw out the other dud egg so looks like they are starting again - I just hope the new chicks don't hatch before these ones fledge.
October 17, 200816 yr Thanks for the update Karen, it's nice to see developmental pics and watch them grow :laughter:
October 26, 200816 yr Author Oh My Goodness! Aren't they the cutest? I placed a bub in mums hand yesterday and she couldn't get over how noisey they are! Reckons they are way noisier than budgie bubs!
October 29, 200816 yr Author Eldest 2 bubs fledged late yesterday afternoon just before I got home. Wondered why I suddenly had 4 bourke's flying around their cage. I love watching the fledglings and their parents interact with each other outside the nestbox. Their parents care so much! When one falls, one of the parents races down to them to check them over. So beautiful!
