Posted January 12, 200916 yr While away in WA last month, my birds were under the care of family. Unfortunately this little baby happened to get food caught inside his beak and it has permanently deformed it. His upper beak sits inside the lower beak, and because he is unable to grind his beak into shape like normal, i have to trim it every few days. Today i decided while putting his siblings in the kindy cage, that he will not thrive in the aviary and will make his frequent beak trims harder. So he has joined me inside as a pet. i understand that i have clipped his wings early (i dont normally do it before 9 weeks) , it is for his own safty as our back door is always open and i couldnt bare him flying away so anyway, enough rambaling.... here he is Sleeping amongst the dirty dishes Busted!! hehe This picture gives an idea of his beak Any name ideas would help a lot Edited January 12, 200916 yr by **Liv**
January 12, 200916 yr Oh liv, he is a darling. Looks like my late Makky. Im no good at names sorry. Lol
January 12, 200916 yr Sleeping amongst the dirty dishes This photo is so cute!!!! I don't have a name suggestion yet. I was just overcome with cuteness!

How do I make sure that this doesn't happen to any of mine? As he is green and gold I thought Aussie might be a good name? Edited January 12, 200916 yr by Trish
January 12, 200916 yr How do I make sure that this doesn't happen to any of mine? The article on care of baby Budgies in the Nest ...in our FAQ section explains it and how to avoid it.
January 12, 200916 yr I think you should name the little guy LEVI. I never liked the fit of Levi jeans and this little guy just has a poor "fit" to his beak. So my suggestion is Little Levi.
January 12, 200916 yr OMG the level of cuteness is amazing. Budgie of the month <- enter this please! Well because of the spelling mistake in the title "My little Diabled Baby" I think you should call him Diablo. He is pure Kyute (cute for the non lolcats people)!
January 12, 200916 yr Author Well because of the spelling mistake in the title "My little Diabled Baby" I think you should call him Diablo. SW So many good names. Thank you all so much. :budgiedance: oh now its hard to choose....
January 12, 200916 yr Beaky or Beaker Hehe, Beaker from the muppets!! Edited January 12, 200916 yr by Hills
January 13, 200916 yr I was reading and instantly thought Beaker- muppets. But I obviously wasnt the first Lol He is a doll, so cute I have one in the aviary- I never noticed when I got him as an adult, I was trimming his beak a fair bit but have noticed when I dont it gets to a certain spot and doesnt get any longer, he eats well and s a 'normal' aviary bird.
January 13, 200916 yr Author Thanks Pie, thats really good to know that he will be okay - he bites REALLY hard - like a hen even and it kills *OUCH!* i like Beaker.... i think i like Beaky more as beaker reminds me of science class (never watched the muppets :rofl: ) - Chomper is cute too - that is very cute
January 13, 200916 yr Author After lots of thinking and deciding (and seeing him continue to nap in the kitchen ) i am going to go with the name Kitch!! Thank you wessiri for the cute name And thank you everyone for all your ideas
January 18, 200916 yr Busted!! hehe I think I might have a new budgie soon! How much do you want for him? TOO cute!
