Baby Budgie No.1

After days of putting it's head out and peeking out all shy and coy, our baby budgie has finally come out of it's nest!

Here it is sitting on our hand!

Our Babies In Their Nests

Like I said earlier, our new babies have no clue what to do with their nests, and at night it's hilarious to see them stuff themselves into a single nest together! I kid you not - in one nest there are as many as four or five all huddled in there together!

Budgie Baby No. 2

Here's budgie baby number two, and in the last few photographs you can see the father trying to go into the nest. In the last photograph you can see mommy budgie already inside with the two babies. The second baby's taken after the father in coloring completely.

Our Budgie Couple

Here are the proud parents of the two budgie babies. As you can see, they're as much in love today as they were when they first paired up!

Kissing!



More, more please!



No more? Why?!



Ah, now I know why! Because the baby is peeking out!

Vulture With Her Friends!

And here she is joined by her other two friends!

Little Vulture!

We've affectionately named this little guy Vulture for now, as it's got a lot of feathers plucked from it's neck, giving it a vulture like appearance!

One Of Our White Babies

Here's one of our white babies, and you can see it's got a little bald spot on it's head from where the feathers have been pulled out.

Our Baby Budgie!

We have two baby budgies in the nest right now, and one of them is almost ready to come out! He keeps sticking his head out, and looking at the world outside.

In the last photograph if you look very carefully, you will see three heads ... the mother, and both the babies.

Our Mad Little Rescued Bird!

One of my older posts had a photograph of a male finch which we rescued from our neighbours. The poor little guy seems to be traumatized from his time with them, and instead of pairing up with any one of our female finches and setting up a nest with her, he chose a corner of the cage instead. That's not all - not only does he guard his corner with everything he's got, but he also insists on collecting spinach leaves and making a nest with it.

The photographs say it all ...

Ahhh ... fresh spinach leaves ...!



Should I eat them?



Hmmmm ... let me think!



Naah - I'd rather make a nest with them!



What're you looking at huh?!



How do I get the leaves together?



Ah, there you go.



Nice ... I like it!



Shall I sit down now and test if it's comfortable?



I think it's fine!



Settled down!

Here are two of our white babies. We can't tell them apart anymore because they all look so similar!
