What does the Chickweed look like when it's ready for my budgies to eat? Mine has been growing for about a month now and looks like this

They look pretty small for a month old plant.

You can feed it any time. What you've got there are seedlings. It will fairly quickly grow into a sort of ground trailing or crawling plant with little tiny white flowers on it.

Yup, the whole thing. The flowers are really, really tiny.

Try them on a few of the seedlings to see if they'll get a taste for it. Humans can eat it too.

Thanks Stace. Looks like it's a very healthy thing to give the birds too Seems to be a miracle food, perhaps I should eat some too!

Yes this is bird safe. Just knew that here they call "bird's grass or bird's bush".
