Budgie Eggs!

[Zoohtasim]

Do you ever let them free-fly inside home?? When I was about 12 years old, my parents got a pair of these parakeets. We did not refer to them as Budgies, just parakeets. Their cage door was always open, and they used to fly around inside house. Then they would return back into cage by themselves.
During summertime, we carried cage and stand onto our porch patio. Cage door was of course closed when outdoors.
One day when were were not there, a cat ( assuming) knocked over cage. Cage fell apart, and am sure the impact scared the cat away,,,,,, but parakeets tasted freedom, and were never seen again.
Here in Chicago there are feral flocks of these budgies, that survive our cold winters. I suspect, that some are escapees, while others are newly hatched young that developed into adult budgies. There are also flocks of feral Quaker parrots in our area.

Well, where I live budgies dont survive usually. Crows are practically everywhere and food is scarce so normally they just get eaten :<

DW had budgies when she was a Teen. She found, that when she handled the young,,, (not just hatched, but newly purchased young birds) the budgies were friendly, and did not bite. I guess she tamed them

Yess! They will fledge in about 10 days. I am guessing 2 of them will look like this when they grow up!

And the youngest one (which is a female btw) will look like this -

This is so cool. I've never seen just-hatched budgies before, nor the progression as they grow. They're beautiful!
