Budgie Family Album

For those budgies hatched in June of 2010, and delivered to Parrot Paradise Bird and Pet Supply store on August 5, 2010.

Here is a photo of the parents of this clutch of baby budgies. August (the mom) on the right Georgie (the dad) on the left
On June 14, 2010 August and Georgie’s first chick broke out of its shell. The budgie eggs are only about ¾” at the widest.
On June 16, 2010 two chicks are in the August’s nest. When laying, a budgie will usually lay only one egg every two days, so the eggs will often hatch two days apart. In this photo you can see the difference in the size of the two chicks.
On June 21, 2010, there are four chicks in the nest.
June 25, 2010, there may be five chicks in this photo.
June 27, 2010, the chicks are getting more feathers.
June 30, 2010, five chicks and more feathers.
July 8, 2010, Now their colors are starting to show, and the oldest, at 24 days old, is starting to look like an adult budgie.
July 11, 2010, Sophia holds one of the pale blue and white budgies in her lap.
July 11, 2010, Hannah holds the youngest budgie from August and Georgie’s clutch.
July 15, 2010, At 31 days old, here is a photo of the first baby budgie to fly, from August and Georgie’s nest.
July 19, 2010, Two of the baby budgies are now flying, but their parents are still feeding them.
July 19, 2010, out of the nesting box, but not sure about flying.
July 21, 2010, After two days learning to fly this little budgie tried to land on the top of the glass blender in the kitchen and fell in. The blender was unplugged, but it took us a while to find the poor little thing, and it couldn’t get out on its own. This photo is of the baby budgie after the blender incident, cleaning his/her feathers.
July 21, 2010, Feathers in place and ready for another adventure.
August 5, 2010, August and Georgie’s five chicks, before being taken to Parrot Paradise Bird and Pet Supply store. If you have purchased one of August’s babies, please look after them well. They are good little birds. They like fresh green grass seed when it is still on the end of the grass, as a treat.
