Babies now in the Aviary / Photos

[moonkira *Julie *]

I have put the chicks out in the aviary and they are loving it , it was getting pretty difficult when feeding and cleaning the cage as they were all climbing up my arm and flying around the shed and pretty hard to get them to go back in lol . They have settled in quiet well and no probs from the other birds.



They soon found the hatch to go out into the flight
















This was an idea I had as 3 of the chicks were bred in the aviary (colony) so if they went to the floor and couldnt fly up this peice of trellis cost a £1 in the pound shop, so I fixed it against the wire with cable ties and it makes a good ladder to help any youngsters get back up to the perches and platforms.

What a wonderful world of budgies...simply heaven!
Great idea with the trellis it will just give them that little bit of help if needed.
You have done a great job with your set up and you baby buds.

That's my favourite too- don't you just want to stroke those little cheek feathers so badly!! The chicks are all beautiful and the trellis is a great idea, all looks great!!

I am just waiting to see if they are boys or girls . I think that little blue you like might be a hen so if I am right will be named Lola , the little green and yellow , is going to be Sammy or Sami and the one like the mum which I think is a hen is going to be Lottie.

The others from the breeding cage are
Sunny
Saffy or Solly

Sparky
Sky
Summer

They are all gorgeous Julie, you have done a fabulous job!
Sunny looks like he has a twin in the 3rd pic..that IS Sunny isnt it?

[moonkira *Julie *]

Yes thats Sunny but his twin is very simular with only difference being the other one has a few tints of darker yellow on wings but very little.
