Rosie is eager to escape from her brood of three and take a bath.

| Rosie, happy to grab a bath. |
 |
| Rosie's mate, on my husband, wants to participate but is hesitant. Rosie never hesitates. |
 |
| A Spa moment without the kids. "Take me away." Cool and refreshing. |
She also appreciates help with feeding her babies since her mate, Pretty Boy, isn't keeping up with the feeding ritual. He's younger than she is. A little help from us is appreciated.
 |
| Rosie steps out of her nest box. She's eating the extra Exact Handfeeding Formula I give to hand fed baby birds. She was hand fed and is used to it. It's easier than getting "milk" from her mate and feeding the kids. It's ready immediately and she stuffs her little ones with it. Pretty Boy hasn't been totally dependable. |
 |
| Rosie's three babies are growing. The oldest is much bigger than the other two. The unhatched egg was probably between them, meaning these two are 2 and 4 days younger than their older sibling. |
Happy Bird Raising with Peace & Blessings.
Hi, I found a budgie/parakeet in my backyard (i think someone let it go) and it is very untame, i would love to pair it with a tame handfed budgie. He seems lonely, but I am afraid to go the petco route. do you know of any place to find a tame budgie? Thanks, hello_jamie@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteFew people handfeed young budgies. They are easy to tame while young. Check out my post on "Recognizing a Baby Budgie.
