Baby Budgie (24 hours old)

[awss90]

what kind of food he eats??

[VtBudgies]

At this age unless it's in NEED of help don't touch until 7 days old

[TheWonderWaffle9000]

What??? the adult birds let you touch there baby?? why arnt they atacking you?

[MegaFranklin1234]

beautiful 

[glitterpukerific]

it looks like a frying pan in the thumbnail lol

[Parakeetluv]

This is weird but my female bird does not poop inside the nesting box. I don't know why but she doesnt. When she poops outside she poops really really big. No kidding, she fills the bottom of the cage really fast. So, right now i'm not having a problem about cleaning the nest box but im pretty sure the babies will poop a lot and dirty it.

[vuurwerkhoofd]

cant touch me tududud tudude tude cant touch me

[neerping]

OMG it's so tiny! Such tiny little wings that will one day fly all around your house!

[KeswickCamp08]

0:25 almost gave me a heartt attack! lol

[CL8R3]

is that a frying pan? jks :P

[squareenix12]

how precious!!

[mawadg]

what do you think i should do for myne? i have a male and a female, they have 2 new bugies, what should i do for them?

[NemoNint]

@mawadg simply let the parents take care of the babies.

Give the parents healthy food and water, as usual! The male will feed the female and the female will feed the chicks.

[n166ahygu]

my dad say you cant see the while they are in the nest im having my nest clutch but cant wait to see them

[staroflight11]

why are you touching them?

[WweReyHbk]

lol at 0:25 it looked like the bird freaked u out when u touched it and it jumped

[makincash7]

sweet



[ugaoidsfbapiuyvpwone]

dont tuch lol -.-

[0mjfan0]

touching them gently like this won't hurt them. it's called imprinting. the more you handle them, the tamer they'll become, and the easier they will be to train and interact with. and about germs: how else are they going to become immune to diseases and other pathogens if they don't come in contact with them? if they do get sick, there's always medicine to give them so they can recover.

[KittyKat517065]

what the hell is that a bird?

[ZodiacQueen95]

@KittyKat517065 Birds are rats with wings. There is your proof.

[brookgoody]

[FelixAdventerous10]

[XxXMadDjXxX]

[TheAliceCullenLover]

What kind of bird is it

[chikklet888]

if you touch them the mom won't ever take care of them??

[tla86]

@chikklet888 - I have always checked and on ocassions handled by baby budgies to make sure their healthy and the mother has never rejected them.

[casterdell94]

[happyninslave]

I would call child protective service so fast on you ass, you woudn't know what hit you.

[mankin1999]

are baby birdies called budgies??

[Rimfire748]

@mankin1999 budgies are diffrent type of bird with short beaks pointing downward but look it up "budgies" they r so cute!!!

[mankin1999]

@Rimfire748 ok thnx for telling me! i will look it up tommorrow

[Rimfire748]

@mankin1999 no prob! but i thought u would know by now as in people should at least know what they r.

[mankin1999]

@Rimfire748 well i will look it up tommorrow as i said i would!!!!

[Rimfire748]

@mankin1999 I know im just saying since u were little i thought u would know like a ever heard of that or seen back then?

[mankin1999]

@Rimfire748 i might have but i am not sure.... i see alot of birds so i might have seen the budgies

[Rimfire748]

@mankin1999 Ah ok then thats cool!!!

[mankin1999]

@Rimfire748 ;)

[EA1088]

....Isn't it bad to expose them to light at that young of an age?

[CoolGirl508]

aww they are so cute and tiny!! reminds me of my hammie babies

[DARKL0RD96]

My birds egg always crack. The mother doesnt know how to take care of the eggs. What should I do?

[AndeeDeeKate]

Hello, babyy! :x



[BearMagnet9]

LOL at first i thought you were playing a sick joke as i thought that was a frying pan...

thats adorable :)

[largebutsmall]

whats a budgie?

[GSPDCanimalover870]

@largebutsmall budgies are parakeets which are a type of pet bird/

[honda2infiniti]

what do i have to do once mine hatches

[NemoNint]

@honda2infiniti let the parents take care of them but if there is a lot of crap then it needs to be cleaned. My nesting box is a black plastic one with a removable tray, with a shallow cup area for the eggs to sit in the bottom making it easy for the mother to sit on them. But it gets dirty very fast and needs to be cleaned.

[FluffyBalls009]

@NemoNint The crap you clean out, is the nest to keep the birds warm...

[thetitanicisdead]

My budgies name is... Wiston to... but its green b;ue and yellow its a boy. :)

[flicktrix21]

dont touch it

[Melli33378]

Haha really funny and cute! The wings are hilarious! :D

[bobalong1999]

everyone to their own thoughts, i have been bring on baby budgies for more than 10 years, i allways ues cows milk, then the bird gets nicknamed THE MILKY BAR KID,

[morekare]

If we find a neglected baby bird we feed it with Exact Baby Bird formula and we use a tuberculin syringe (without the needle of course). Be careful, however, when feeding baby birds and make sure the formula is prepared according to directions on the package. Best to feed small amounts frequently rather than too much at one time. Keep your baby bird warm.

[bobalong1999]

I have been breeding budgies for many years, i touch and hold my babys all the time , i clean and check them, and have brought on many 100s of budgies, if i have a hen that is new to breeding and she does not feed the chick, then i feed it with cows milk untill i can get the hen to feed her chick,people have many views of their own, but not always the right view, holding my chicks has never done them any harm

[01Antigone]

@bobalong1999 oh no, they are not suppose to be fed with cow's milk though! that's very harmful. they need baby bird formula

[Ted2006tu]

Hi there I want to ask a question ... I found my first egg, this morning, but unfortunately I let the birds to fly around the kitchen before I saw the egg ... now its two or three hours later and I want to ask how long can the egg survive, without its mother sitting on it ... how can I help it? Please someone tell me :(

[Ted2006tu]

[Nethercore]

Exactly, they need no human contact for a while unless they need assistance hatching. Our germs can kill them and we can break them because they are born with out being fully developed yet!!!! Please don't touch the next baby.

[mixcow]

I am pretty sure terrestrial animals have evolved to adapt to our germs even when freshly hatched, if not, the theory of evolution has some work cut out for it

[xclaireyz]

omg they look like aliens.

[Koppelya]

mongo? jajajajaja eres estupida no hay duda

[Rihannaa0]

omg, why is everybody being so mad for?

if he or she, washed her hand first it will not hurt the baby..

it will not die!

[mixcow]

aren't most terrestrial animals immune to our hand bacteria, even as infants? It's just the aquatic ones (ie goldfish) that die after you touch them? Don't flame me if im wrong ==;

[Rihannaa0]

hm, I'm really not so sure bout' it but I think that if you touch baby budgies their parents maybe doesn't recognize the smell or something and kill the baby or it will just die it self because the immune isn't that strong yet.

ehehe, sorry for my bad english :P

[soymilk135799]

@ricturtle its true... it is a myth they will abandon them if you touch the baby.

[bigdima3]

where are his mom ? dad ?, ,

[Koppelya]

eres estupida o que? a los bebes no se les molesta y menos para estar haceindo este tipo de videos

[Sammy78girl]

AY CAYATE MONGO

[mrhalo121]

ur stuiped ur going to kill him just keep um warm and feed them dont pokem

[fizzy408]

ok ur rite about the warm thing but cumon light touches will do no harm at all

[mrhalo121]

alright just dont touch them no more the mother is going to get mad 6 baby budgie

[fizzy408]

well u can touch it out of site

[mrhalo121]

ok and we have 6 baby eggs and 3 babys 3 adults

[chamjoan]

how do u get budgies 2 have babies like do u have 2 do anything r dose it happen on its own?? i no that mite sound silly hope some1 understands wat i mean!!

[LionGoddess1]

geez open air exposure.. prodding it and giving it potential germs and pathogens what next?

[NemoNint]

@ LionGoddess1:

You think open air exposure is a bad thing?.. haha

The alternative being stale air leading to suffocation? I wouldn't want to suffocate the little things.

Plus, cleaning the nesting box and tray is important. Which is the greater evil: potential germs from clean hands or letting the baby crawl around in baby poop for the first few weeks of life?

So many people criticize, shooting off their mouths before they have any understanding of the situation.

[sjafalconz]

@NemoNint it makes me feel good when someone like you has a good way to put up an argument about something i also i would say xD.. if that made sense lol

[tla86]

@NemoNint - Birds like open air exposure, which is why in the wild they tend to live outside lol. I agree a clean nesting box is more important than the the risk of potential germs from clean hands. I hope both your baby birds are doing well :)

[NemoNint]

@tla86 this baby is seen in the budgie bobbleheads video, named Winwin. He is white with some blue on his belly!

[budgielover12]

@NemoNint ITS LIKE MINE!! My budgie is white,and with a little blue on it's belly! but with some black!

[pingice2]

@LionGoddess1

uh oh here comes the haters who have to find something to say about this beautiful video

[ThePandaDomination]

@LionGoddess1 Open air exposure?.. What bull, where on earth do you think they're born in the first place? They're born out in the wild, in FULL open air, in a nest thats not sterilised, its been put together but twigs that have lay in mud and been exposed to more diseases then you could imagine and the mother themselves prod at the babies, sometimes with their beaks.

I don't entirely agree with the unessicary prodding but its already been done.

[gazzincho]

You shouldnt be proddin it :-\

[fizzy408]

wats proddin it?

[gazzincho]

A finger

I don't know who's finger but it is definately a finger prodding it.

[NemoNint]

hahaha

True.

[gazzincho]

@NemoNint I wasn't being horrible, I was just saying. Lol

[NemoNint]

@gazzincho It's alright, I laughted at your second statement, "don't know whose finger but definately a finger".

If you want to see the baby grown, view the video I posted as a response to this one, the Budgie Bobblehead video. The white budgie in the bobblehead video is the one featured in Baby Budgie (24 hours old)

[futop100]

how long did it take for the other eggs to hatch?

[gazzincho]

Hahaa

it was true though XD

And okayy i will check it out :)

[grendol10]

wat is a budgie?

[KoolWhip0315]

a bird. like a parakeet

[johnph96]

that baby bird is so cute!

[Daphneduck33]

im from australia too and i hav 2 budjies both girls but are so funny one blue,green and yellow and the other green.

[33jkjk]

is he she still alive

[NemoNint]

To 33jkjk - yes, and very happy, along with his sister.

[isabeau75]

Hey guys I am a budgie breeder from Australia. You can touch the eggs but you do run the risk of the parents abandoning the eggs. I always ensure my hands are clean before touching and keep touching a minimal on the eggs and newly hatched, at least for a couple of days. After that, the mum are fine with handling. I have approx 20 babies at the moment and have touched all and all are healthy. I just love my budgies!!

[ScootTheFox]

Something tells me hes a bird breeder o.o So even if he touched the eggs or the baby bird im sure they have a scent cover up for breeders other then gloves

[NemoNint]

ScootTheFox - My birds are almost all home-bred, with multiple generations.

One thing to mention:

I've seen budgie babies fall 12 inches or more straight down, and survive. They can crawl out of the nest sometimes when they're very determined. So, I prefer having nests on the ground in the cage to eliminate that possibility.

They are not as fragile as most people think. They can handle significant temperature changes in a 24 hour period, if they're in an outdoor aviary.

[KittyFreakDebs]

Question-Did the mother of the birds abandon them? I heard if u touch the eggs b4 it hatches or close 2 after, the mom and dad leaves them. Was that the case? just curious

[NemoNint]

Kitty Freak Debs- The mother didn't abandon them. The mother jumps and walks around on my arms when I'm around the cage, it does not get nervous by my scent.

[KittyFreakDebs]

sorry i didnt post that comment, my brotherrs post it on my account, just wanted 2 clear that up sorry

[BudgieAndMe]

I Have a Question if you touch the budgie with the eggs can it hatch? Im worried cuz i heard if i touch the eggs it doesnt hatched but i touched the budgie with the egg will it hatch?

[fuadhyder]

It wouldnt hatch I experienced it last fall.

[NemoNint]

BudgieAndMe - if it doesn't hatch, it's for one or more reasons: 1- you cracked the egg when you touched it, 2- your hands were very very dirty and something transferred to the egg, 3- the egg was already dead.

[Susej0]

cute we have an avary our the back with 20 or so budgies and 8 cockateils and 3 chickens

[NemoNint]

This baby has grown into a very strong and fast flier. His name is Winwin, and he likes peoples' noses, and also playing with peoples' hair. He is a white and blue budge.

Winwin's father Calvin was abandoned as a baby because his mother Tia did not have the mother instinct right away (she gained it on another nest). Calvin was raised by another, much friendlier bird and Calvin became Winwin's father. Both Calvin and Winwin are very hand-friendly.

[snabb133]

may i ask u one thing.. what do i require when my budgie gives birth ? its pregnant.. and.. i dont know what i need for it to place its eggs, and how long it will take for it to make eggs.. please respond.. and pls give me the information i need, because i dont want to see that my bird dies a.s.o..

[Keijz74]

Nice. Enjoy them.

[NemoNint]

If the mother won't touch the babies, that's because of the mother's own individual behaviour. Some mother birds don't have the instinct to care for eggs (or it takes several nests to develop), and seem to abandon their eggs or babies.

[NemoNint]

I don't believe the parents will reject them only by scent of a human. It sounds like nonsense in a domestic environment. They'll take over parenting of babies from other clutches if a mother dies or abandons her hatchlings. If the mother is familiar with you and your hands, touching eggs or babies is not a problem. If your birds are not familiar with your hands, it makes sense that touching the eggs or babies could have a bad result.

[steadfast1984]

hes cold! let the mother sit on it

[roodeyx]

he looks cold

he needs his mother !!

[iPenguinXb]

aww the baby bugie is cute (i think it's weird a little) i can hear the mother bird screamin for the baby (i think)

[101naturelover]

when you touched it at the first time the parents of the budgies started screaming at you but your doing a awsome job:)

[dabzom]

damn that things loud as piss

and piss is LOUD

[jammydoors]

o look A baby budgie -poke-

[docdirtty]

if your going to touch it you really should wash your hands. touching it isn't going to cause the parents to reject it, but you can get it very sick by touching it, bacteria on your hands can get them sick. u should have them in a nest box with a heating pad under the nest box, baby birds depend on there parents to regulate there body temp, you can kill it very easily by letting it get cold, birds have a higher body temp then humans, so what feels warm to you is cold to them.

[NemoNint]

The babies body heat from the hen who is in the nestbox with them. Sometimes she will pluck feathers from her underside, and that can help transfer heat even more.

[terin814]

xD.. You got shocked when it moved when you touched it... xD

I don't know to my budgies.. but when they make a baby and lays an egg.... they crack the egg... D:

The first one they had that survived died... My cat ate it... xD Then after the next batch of eggs, SHE KILLED IT. D:

[LittleMurmurAmi]

yeah its not a good idea to get your scent on the babys.

[dakidmark90]

birds dont identify there babies by scent so touching is no problem but if you touch a hamsters baby yeah it will kill it

[Mivmus369]

not true..they do identify them by scent....i am very sure....i have many birds at home, and if u touch their babies , they won't accept them and let them die....

[lynnkeets]

That is a myth, I have held my baby budgies and the parents DO NOT kill or neglect the baby.

[elligator21]

That's completely untrue. The olfactory bulbs in birds' brains are extremely small - except in some cases (some birds of prey) they have terrible senses of smell. Get your facts straight if you're going to own animals.

[10httrquitr]

that mom is pissed

[NoaNoa74]

soooo cuuuute!!!

i had 3 budgie babys, all survived! :))))

tha mama hated me for touching them. ;P

[miely111]

aww

[WolfeGirl1]

It peeped! Momma's mad.

[heatblast567]

wat is he eating

[severina1]

oh thank god, im sorry but on the video pic it looks like there on some kind of wok or cooking utensil...

[NemoNint]

That's funny! I can see how it's possible to make that mistake, but seriously I hope no one would put a baby bird in a wok. At least, not planning to upload a video to youtube! lol :) I should upload some new pictures of this little guy. His name is Winwin.

[111DGH111]

dont prod it

[jojobpcool]

It'S soooo cute... but ugly at the same time lol.  My budgie have 2 eggs. I hope a baby will survive.

[JoBroFreak18]

HAHAHHA I love how u get scared when it jumps! :P

dont touch it!!

[BuggyRacer3000]

oh my god it's so small

[S2jellybeansS2]

no touchy no touchy!!

[KatMays379]

How did it survive? Is it thriving, were there any issues with its mother accepting it? Anything like that?

Just curious

[CHEATSizME]

and u'd get the human scent on it and it wont go 2 it's mother

[flowerbirdbudgies]

That's a myth, it's not true.

[CHEATSizME]

do prod it it could kill it

[traf1852]

So beautiful and fragile I would be afraid of touching it.

[calviazteca]

dont touch it!!

[niji103]

It's so tiny and cute !

[rachael2122]

eh its so helpless

[mariohead69]
