how do i rear budgie chicks?

Question

i was recently shocked to find baby budgies on the floor of my avery ,after searching on the net,i think their mother has disowned them
can i hand rear them and if so how?

Answer 1

hi .. this happened to me before, as well... if they are under a day old, you can simply feed them a little sugar water for the first 24 hours.

you might want to put them into a cage with a light on the top for warmth... i kept mine in an aquarium... if you do this, you're going to have to adjust the light until you find a bulb which doesn't get too warm.

pet supply stores usually sell baby bird formula.. mixing and feeding instructions are on the can. the directions on how much to feed the birds and how often should be there, too. you'll probably need a few, good eyedroppers.

you also need to make sure everything is clean and fresh at every feeding.


my hand raised budgies were adorable, but it was tedious and time consuming work, so i hope you have a lot of free time.

you can also do a web search on HAND RAISING BUDGIES, OR HAND RAISING PARAKEETS.

i hope things work out!! take care.

Answer 2

i in my opinion wouldnt hand rear a budgie...they get at a loss for words whilst put in a cage with different budgies, because it thinks its a newborn or something. in case you dont have any adventure, I wouldnt do it, as they are as a results of hatch quickly and you dont have sufficient time to learn precise

Answer 3

If you are absolutely sure that they have been disowned, then you have to find a vet or someone who has experience with hand-feeding budgies. With small birds like that with the slightest movement you could kill them.

Answer 4

Just have them bend over the bed.
