Crazy as ever! Several of them were outside most of the day 🙀.
I will have to check the nests to make sure all the babies are ok but this group is dedicated and protective which is what threw off my timing (I was tired of getting bitten multiple times daily)
2 of my budgies managed to escape the subaviary Thurs or Friday. We’ve made a couple of attempts to get them back in, but they are doing well in the main aviary so I guess it’s an “unplanned” experiment.
We’ve been out there a lot today and at last look, they were happily perched low and...
I started last night removing all new eggs and unhatched eggs from the nests…..wondering if I should keep them and sell as reptile food??? Any thoughts from reptile keepers?
2 of the new babies…..the yellow with blue is my favorite color!!!!! And the other one is still having trouble with the whole flying thing so I keep picking him up and putting him on a perch
Today’s check…..no new nest hatches but while I didn’t get a count appeared number 8 hatched in big nest…..momma was feeding and the larger babies were in a pile close to her with a little loner in middle of un hatched eggs
I have 1 homemade nest box and the prefab wooden boxes from Amazon
They work relatively well for the babies but the adults have chewed most of the prefab ones
And the big nest already has first hatchling :th the other nests including momma Bella have already started accumulating new eggs but I’m afraid to remove any because I don’t want to start any fighting and I’m hoping to get a few more babies with yellow and green/turquoise from Boogie
