Freddie and Randys 4 chicks are still doing grand:) I tried to take pics today but Randy was not going to let me and let out such a noise when I opened the drawer that Freddie leapt in there to her assistance and the camera had to be put away for another day! I'll try and get some pics tomorrow when both parents are out:)

That is such great news, Nat! I didn't get to see the chicks first off either so really would love to see them. The last I heard they were laying eggs but not sure what would happen after - whether they were fertile of not etc. And now they are chicks! Theirs is a little budgie romance story all by itself! Will never forget the struggle you have had with poor dear Freddie, and his ever-faithful wife, Randy!

I feel we are out of the worst danger stage now. I was initially worried that Freddie would get sick again while Randy was still having to keep the chicks warm and that she wouldn't be able to feed them herself. He is madly energetic and hasn't lost weight, but still makes the funny noise sometimes. It will be interesting to see how he gets on when he finaly returns to the aviary with his family. I can't believe that if he was ailing too much that he'd have got the family this far
