What do I Feed my budgies?
They definitely need the cuttlebone (calcium), and since you only are feeding seeds, they really need to have a ‘birdy vitamin” about 2-3 times per week. You can get a bottle of them at Wal-Mart, or any Pet Store. Put a couple of drops in their “seed cup”, not in the water cup, because the drops can soon make the water go rancid.
Why do mother budgies kill their babies?
A mother budgie needs to know all the babies can get enough food. If you give them the same amount of food you used to give them when they were only two or if you forget to feed your birds regularly, the mother budgie might kill other babies to ensure the other babies can get enough food. This is what most animals do in the wild.
Can budgies know if one of their babies is sick?
If the mother discovers that one of the babies has some infection, it kills that baby to protect the rest of the babies. It usually kills the sick baby and pushes it out of the nest. Budgies can know if one of them is sick. It might take you a couple of days or even weeks to know if one of your budgies is sick. 2. They Do Not Know What to Do
What do budgies do with nesting materials when they lay eggs?
If your budgie parents removed all the nesting materials when they were egg laying, often they will accept nesting materials being placed back in the box at this point when babies have arrived. They are usually more distracted once babies arrive to think of removing the wood shavings or nesting materials of choice for a second time.
