Comments for Feeding Baby Budgies

Shelly, 20 July 2021

Mating pair of budgies, 5 babies hatched (21 days old down to 13 days old), first time parents to baby birds. Male and female starting mating again, really concerned about the female harming the babies, removed her this afternoon from the cage, she is in a separate cage in another room now. The male always fed the female, and she fed the babies. Sites say he will take over feeding the babies and wean them, but he didn’t frequent the nesting house very much at all. Will he feed the babies? How long do I wait before hand feeding the babies? I want to ensure they get food. So worried. Thank you for any tips or suggestions

I am a parakeet breeder for years and feed babies budgies is always pleasant to me. I tame them to. It easy to tame young budgies. See more at https://youtu.be/hy9U3Z-SPk4?list=PLmoxl5TJLstii015wg1F5nucD0ltyPFUW

Hello, I recently got 3 parakeets (2 females and 1 male) as a birthday gift... 2 of them have mated and the female has laid eggs. my question is.. Why does the single female keep going in the other females' nest? is this normal? will she hurt the eggs? should I stop her from doing so?

My hen abandoned her eggs and i needed to rear them. They are 2-3 days old... Do i have to feed them every 2-3 hours even at night or can they go longer at night and i can feed them first thing in the morning? PLZ HELP

Hi there I need some help if got two baby budgies at the age of 2 weeks. The female abandoned them. The only concern I have is i cant use any egg food as my son has a serious allergies and has to use epi-pens. Is there anything else I can do to feed them please. Thank you

HELP! I’ve been hand feeding a clutch of baby budgies for the last 16 days (since the youngest was 2 days old). Must I continue to feed them every few hours even at night? Do they not sleep at night? How soon until I can sleep at night? Can they at least go longer between feedings at night?

I have a quick question regarding to this (I'm quite new to this!). When do I need to step in and start trying to feed the baby budgie if my budgie already feeds the baby budgie? Do I feed the budgie at 3 weeks? If so, what do I feed the budgie?

How long does it take for baby budgies to get accustomed to hand feeding formula, it's only been the first day but the budgies have not been begging for food, so i have to force feed them a little bit each feeding so they dont starve. I would like to know if it's because they are not used to it yet or is there another reason for the budgies not accepting food. They are 2 - 3 weeks old their feathers have already started sprouting. The formula im using is Kaytee Exact
