Posted January 24, 200619 yr Hey everyone! Well as you can tell I am a proud grandma!!! Here are some pictures of Sinatra (if he's a boy). The parents Frankie and Blue are being great parents. Is it normal for them to have fuzz when they are hatched? Just wondering we are so excited!!!
January 24, 200619 yr what a darling. Yes it's normal to have some fuzz on the back. Just becuase in the picture his crop is emty I must check that mum is feeding him now? Edited January 24, 200619 yr by Nerwen
January 24, 200619 yr Awe. So precious! I can't wait until my birds have a baby - it will be awhile. So I'll enjoy looking at pics of yours. Send more!!
January 25, 200619 yr :budgiedance: what a darling. Yes it's normal to have some fuzz on the back. Just becuase in the picture his crop is emty I must check that mum is feeding him now? Actually Nerwen, you can't tell from that picture but I think his crop is full. (see picture)...I was expecting it to be yellow though and not clear like it is. Let me know what you think.
January 25, 200619 yr I think it's empty still or it may have a bit of air in to swell it out. Yes it should be yellow that means there is food there.
January 25, 200619 yr no it's empty. Is this her first clutch? The mum may be a bit confused. Try some egg and biscuit really diluted with skim milk. and I mean really diluted. Dipp your fingur in and let a drop fall on his beak. give him about 3 to 4 dropps. It will give him some strength to call and excite his mum into feeding him. Let us know how you go.
January 26, 200619 yr Okay, here is day 2 of Sinatra!! The first picture is yesterday to compare with the second picture of him today. I hope you enjoy! :budgiedance:
January 26, 200619 yr Is mama feeding the baby? Yep, Mama Blue is doing a great job!!! Sinatra's crop seems to be full with yellow 'food'. It is very exciting :budgiedance:
January 26, 200619 yr Yep you can see it in the last picture there is some yellow :budgiedance: well done mum and dad. I have my fingers crossed for the next egg tommorrow!
January 27, 200619 yr Yep you can see it in the last picture there is some yellow well done mum and dad. I have my fingers crossed for the next egg tommorrow! Well you can quit crossing your fingers Nerwen, "Hans" has hatched! See the following pictures of my two "boys" (we hope)!!!
January 27, 200619 yr So Cute Welcome little Hans Where did that name come from? Well, my sister named Hans. She loves Germany and says it is a very popular name there.
January 27, 200619 yr Super Cool I thought you might have gone for a muscal theme. I meant to ask before what did you use to mark the eggs with?
January 28, 200619 yr Super Cool I thought you might have gone for a muscal theme. I meant to ask before what did you use to mark the eggs with? I just used a non toxic marker from one of my kids art sets!
January 28, 200619 yr Congratulations on the new baby. Mom is a very pretty budgie. Do you have a picture of Dad? It's amazing that Sinatra is noticibly bigger already. They really grow quickly.
