@TheTealbunny You know, that really is just a mother's tale so little kids will stop trying to pick up baby birds. Don't claim you know more because it's a well known myth.
@sleepfood6 That is a very one sided statement, why do you say only the Evangelican church knows the answer? Also it is quite retarded to think that the starving people in Africa are starving because they believe in satan and/or other heretic gods, infact most religious people are desperate and poor while many rich people are atheist as they are less deperate and live a life with less struggles. Quite ironic is it not? Don't believe everything you hear little girl.
@sleepfood6 Bravo Jesus! I wish he wouldn't be so selective, 65% of the world is living in poverty and a massive 20% suffer from starvaion on a regular basis. Maybe he is a racist? Perhaps he doesn't care about helping black people in Africa who seem to have the most faith in him. Jesus doesn't give a shit, I'd like to see anyone try and prove me wrong with any decent facts.
Please! I have an albino parakeet and her eggs hatch today (I don't kwnow how many, I heard them from the nest). I'm worried, I want to know what they are going to eat? My budgies eat seeds, celery, brocoli, etc. but mostly seeds (good quality) Oh! and calcium. How the mom is going to feed them? Should I buy a certain pasta for babies so she can feed them? First time mom. Please, answer me as soon as posible, they hatch today 9/28/11 FOR YOUR HELP THANK YOU!
@sexyiceprincess1993 Naw, that's just an old wives tale that a mom will reject her babies if touched by humans. Both parents took excellent care of this baby (it's actually mom and dad who take care of baby birds, thanks for showing us how little you actually know about birds). I handled her every day, her parents did a fine job raising her and she's now full grown, 4 yrs old (see the date of this video?), very happy and very healthy. It appears the "stupid fuck" is you kiddo.
@Michelle5451 Thank u for informing the ignorant "sexyiceprincess" Old wives tale are a danger, and it is amazing that to this day so many people allow themselves to be ignorant believing these silly tales and do not bother trying to get facts. It is true that the parents of the baby birds want their babies back no matter who touches them, and they will continue to care for them and raise them. This is true not only of parakeets, but birds in the wild too. They want their babies back.
@Michelle5451 Well actually, when I was in the philipines and I took a baby cat from the mother to hold it and when I tried to let him go back to the mother, she just hissed and the baby went outside, a few days later we found the baby dead at the doorstep. I dont think its just old wives tales. :/
@TheOriginalAliasAce The difference is the budgies parents will trust Michelle they are used to her smell and such so the baby smelling like her wouldnt cause the parents to reject the baby. but in your case the cat was unfamiliar with your sent and so rejected the baby.
@Blueknightex Well, the mother cat was like a semi-wild cat, the people who found the cat captured it and brought it back to the community. When I got there, the cat had been there a few weeks already.
@TheOriginalAliasAce I see. Stray animals are normally like this. They don't trust anybody else to get near them till they know them well enough.
I noticed this when I was young. I was really stupid and bored so I tried raiding all the nests around my house's roof. When I found a baby chick I tried to make it into a pet but it wouldn't eat anything I fed it. So I returned back to its nest. I checked back a few hours later and it was dead. The mother bird probably kicked it off.
@Michelle5451 HA! How true, my birds also had chicks and I handled them and they did just fine--although dad did get alittle excited when I would mess with the nest. Funny, cause he never gets excited. He is very protective. Cute stuff. Sexyiceprincess isn't sexy or a princess she is just ice.
@Michelle5451 Looking at evolutionary psychology, social animals will take care of their young no matter what. Even though Birds are generally pretty smart, especially budgies, and wouldn't discriminate between their young. Even "sexyicapincress1993's" unrelated story doesn't overturn this (Felidae aren't as social as Avies).
I wouldn't worry about an 18-year old would say compared to someone whose looked into evolutionary psychology and behavior so don't feel bad for holding that baby budgie.
I'm also not disregarding what she said because she's 18. I was there once. I once thought I knew everything about everything when I was that age, and I'm was humbled when I entered college. I know how foolish it is to claim to know everything, but I'm more honest about my knowledge and try to improve on my understanding.
YOUR SO LUCKY YOU GET TO HOLD IT!!! My parakeets Tippy (boy) and Kiki(girl) have been together for like, 3 years, and have not had any babys yet. They've been cleaning each others beaks, which means they're mating, for months. WHY WON'T THEY HAVE THIS KIND OF BABY! Anyone have any idea why?
@no1puppyfan I guess some bonded pairs just won't have babies. I had one pair who were together for over 6 yrs. and totally affectionate with each other, but she never laid eggs. When she passed and I got him a new girl, they had a baby about 2 yrs after being together. (In fact, she laid a ton of eggs over the years and I always took them away, but let her care for 3 once, only one hatched and I still have the baby - 3 yrs old now). So my guess is it's up to the female.
@gothicchic97 She wasn't cold. Between the warmth of my hand and the heat lamp on her, she was toasty. If you're going to handle babies, it's a must to keep them warm until they have their own feathers.
i have two baby parakeets and i want to start training them but i'm scared if i touch them (and get my scent on them) that the mom would like abandon them or kill them do u know if that would happen?
@zinkx3 No, that won't happen. Parakeets (and actually all birds who don't eat meat) have a very poor sense of smell, practically none at all. Aside from that, Mom has been your pet, she knows who you are - she won't reject the babies. I handled my birds' babies from Day 1 and every day, parents still took excellent care of them. Handle them only a few times a day, for about 10 mins at a time, be sure it's warm - must be kept warm while you handle it.
@obvioustroll157 That's not the baby's mom you hear in the background. She was totally fine with me handling her baby, in fact I bet she appreciated the break. Each time I took the baby out of the breeding box, she came out and stretched, played around, ate, took a bath, etc. The bird you hear in the background is one of my other birds, a male and not related to the baby in the video. Happy budgies are noisy, especially the males. When they're noisy, they're happy and healthy.
What a sweet little chick!!! My female budgie is exhibiting nesting behavior. I purchased the male only 3 months ago and last week he started to mate with her. She's been in and out of the nesting box; I have a feeling she *wants* to lay eggs, although it's my understanding that sometimes they don't. Maddie, the girl, is over four years old. I'm not sure how old Richard is. Thanks for sharing!!
@macchiato2010 Good luck! If she winds up laying more eggs than you are prepared to care for once they are hatched and grown (they can lay up to 9-10 at a time! One of mine once laid 9!), you can take away some eggs (it's not at all formed inside immediately after being laid, it's not a baby in there yet, it's like a chicken egg with white part and yolk part). It's true some females just never lay eggs - I had one for 6 yrs, she had a mate the entire time and never laid one egg.
@CommanderTurner142 I also used to lay with her on my upper chest while she slept. I loved it when she was this little - she's full grown now and a very, very sweet bird.
@REGULATE06 I didn't feed her. Her parents fed her and took excellent care of her. But I was prepared just in case at birth, the parents wouldn't feed her - you feed baby bird formula via a syringe (a task that takes skill and an understanding of what to do/what not to do so you don't put food down wrong pipe and kill them). It's a formula most pet stores sell. All the babies born were fed by the parents, never had to use the formula.
I never touched one, but it's wierd that you can. I see the natural ones fallen out of their nests and dead, and don't have any urge to touch them. But it looked cute here. Had little wings and soft feet, and little mouth... omg I could relate to what I saw, and it was gross how this is like the state of most chicken in the grocery store! I couldn't help but think of going total vege when I realise what the store is selling and what it once was;
if they are under a year old you won't know the sex by sight(though you can have the DNA tested or surgically, though i'd wait it out and not do surgically if anything)
if the nose of the birds turn out blue, then its a boy.
if it comes out any other color, (my little girls have deep red/purple{looks like a bruise honestly, but that's just there color}) then its a girl.
@tritanproductions you are clearly stupid. that is not abuse. the bird will be fine with her move it over, it only seems to be so bad because of how small the little 'keet is. and you can touch the baby without fear that the mother or father won't take care of it afterwards.
and even they did, there is certain formula for exotic birds that you can give them
stop touching it like that dude its trying to sleep, and by comfy. are you retarded? it obviously doesnt like that. every time you touched it in this video i wanted to hurt you lol. plus cutiekittie7799 is right. don't touch them when they are born. instinctive animals cant stand the scent of anything else that isnt them.
@MandyCharms Your facts are wrong, I touched a baby parakeet a few times and the mother didn't seem to care, birds aren't strong on smelling out prey they depend on sight and touch they are protective on their babies but they wouldn't do anything bad to it if were to be touched by humans... would you kill your baby if I touched it? No. So please read about birds and stop trying to be smart. Cya douche.
@MandyCharms People like you are what keep folks ignorant about birds by spreading misinformation. Non-carnivorous birds (that means ones who don't eat meat) have a very poor sense of smell. That nonsense they will reject the baby if it smells like humans is just that, nonsense. Further, does it really make sense to you that the parents of this bird, who have been handled by me for 8 yrs. would reject her for...smelling like me? Who's the retarded one?
This bird is now 4 yrs old, extremely healthy, extremely happy and very bonded to me. Her parents took excellent care of her until she was full grown and I handled her daily since birth. Oops, there goes your unfounded theory.
i have male and female parakeets and the had babies 4 times. And then all of a sudden I saw my male (blue cere) mating with another male (blue cere). Is this normal or is it gay? What do you think?
@jackaroo988 Yep Jack - they bring food up from their crop and feed their babies. I've have birds for 20 yrs, pretty sure I know how it works. However, on the rare occasion the parents can't or won't feed the babies, then a human has to do it. Handfed babies are pretty common, but it takes skill so you don't kill the bird. How long have you been breeding birds and what kind do you have?
if the mother is tame she is already used to smelling humans everywhere, You only need to worry about babies smelling like people and the mother abandoning them if the mother is scared of humans
@missy4519 How did they turn out Missy? Wasn't watching them grow amazing? They change so fast. Sorry for the one you lost. I'd love to go through it again, but I have six birds and that's quite enough. :-)
@ChloeIsHere007 That's absolutely incorrect Chloe and nothing but an old wives tale. I think it might be a good idea for you to educate yourself on a subject instead of passing wrong information.
@xXxBellaGrlxXx You're right, that's what it means. In Australia, where these birds originate, they were once food. Why, I don't know considering there is so little meat on them
@nikeshocksshocks They eat what is fed to their parents since the parents feed the babies. Mine eat seeds, fresh veggies and greens. Yes, they live with the parents until ready to be on their own (at about a few months old)
@Vixktorhiaa1 That's absolutely not true at all and nothing but an old wives tale. First, birds have an extremely poor sense of smell. Second, the parents have been owned and handled by me for years...does it really make sense to you that the mother, whom I've handled for years, would reject a baby because it smelled like me? Use a little common sense and at the very least, please get educated on raising baby birds and possessing correct information instead of passing your guesses along.
Hi Michelle, Thank you again so much for the wonderful photos that you contributed to my parakeet website!! I'm still trying to educate people that it's alright to handle newborn birds as long as you are clean and careful, and that if necessary, you can even help the hatching process if a baby isn't progressing. I love your photos and videos! Great job!
@sarahhzombie44 Sarah, 7-8 years or months? Males have a blue cere. Any other color means female (white, pink, tan, etc.) Certainly by one yr old, the cere should have its permanent color.
@manymanybullets Well, except for the part that it's not the mommy you hear in the background. It was a male bird, unrelated to the baby in the picture, and he was just excited.
@CutieKittie7799 You are entirely wrong on both counts. First, it's perfectly fine to handle a baby bird. You have wrong information and you look very ignorant spreading it. The bird in the video didn't die. She's now 4 yrs old...happy, healthy and having a great life. Get educated kiddo.
@CutieKittie7799 THAT IS A MYTH, YOU CAN HANDLE NEWBORN BIRDS WITH NO PROBLEM. MY PARAKEET REMBRANDT WAS HELD AS A NEWBORN AND HE LIVED FOR 11 YEARS. HE WAS AN AWESOME PET. PS THAT BABY BIRD IS SO SWEET!
@CutieKittie7799 it's the wild babies they you're not supposed to touch, because you're leaving an unfamiliar scent on the baby and it scares the parents...but i think the scent wears off after a while doesn't it?before the baby dies??? idk but i think that's it
Hey ! can you tell me how the baby and egg thing works with the birds ? when they hatch do you have to feed them some type of medicine . liquid food ? or the mother does it all when they get older .plz reply back !
@DulceRainbow I don't breed them, I think there are already too many breeders and therefore, way too many of these sweet birdies living in pet shops - where they don't belong. I let my own two bonded pairs have a few babies, which I kept.
I love this! I grew up with breeding budgies and you have to start handling them very young, for even just a few minutes per day, to get them used to being daily human contact. Good work hand taming them!
@johanna717 Thanks for commenting - it's pretty refreshing to have a former breeder speak up and point out I did nothing wrong by handling this baby. It's pretty funny the volume of people on here who clearly know nothing about budgies telling me I was wrong to handle her. Great laughs. She's been a total delight for the past three years since this video - she literally jumps into my hands and trusts me 100%, as do all my budgies. They're pretty fantastic critters!
You are not supposed to touch a baby bird!

@Michelle5451 what did you feed her when she was so small
REGULATE06 5 months ago
@REGULATE06 I didn't feed her. Her parents fed her and took excellent care of her. But I was prepared just in case at birth, the parents wouldn't feed her - you feed baby bird formula via a syringe (a task that takes skill and an understanding of what to do/what not to do so you don't put food down wrong pipe and kill them). It's a formula most pet stores sell. All the babies born were fed by the parents, never had to use the formula.

I never touched one, but it's wierd that you can. I see the natural ones fallen out of their nests and dead, and don't have any urge to touch them. But it looked cute here. Had little wings and soft feet, and little mouth... omg I could relate to what I saw, and it was gross how this is like the state of most chicken in the grocery store! I couldn't help but think of going total vege when I realise what the store is selling and what it once was;

I just bought two parakeets....i'm confused about the whole 'cere' thing!!! all i see is two holes...no color or anything............
Applecheria 7 months ago
@Applecheria @Applecheria cere is the nostrial part.
the small 'mound with the holes' above its beak.
if they are under a year old you won't know the sex by sight(though you can have the DNA tested or surgically, though i'd wait it out and not do surgically if anything)
if the nose of the birds turn out blue, then its a boy.
if it comes out any other color, (my little girls have deep red/purple{looks like a bruise honestly, but that's just there color}) then its a girl.

tritanproductions 7 months ago
@tritanproductions you are clearly stupid. that is not abuse. the bird will be fine with her move it over, it only seems to be so bad because of how small the little 'keet is. and you can touch the baby without fear that the mother or father won't take care of it afterwards.
and even they did, there is certain formula for exotic birds that you can give them
xXxBellaGrlxXx 7 months ago
stop touching it like that dude its trying to sleep, and by comfy. are you retarded? it obviously doesnt like that. every time you touched it in this video i wanted to hurt you lol. plus cutiekittie7799 is right. don't touch them when they are born. instinctive animals cant stand the scent of anything else that isnt them.
MandyCharms 7 months ago
@MandyCharms Your facts are wrong, I touched a baby parakeet a few times and the mother didn't seem to care, birds aren't strong on smelling out prey they depend on sight and touch they are protective on their babies but they wouldn't do anything bad to it if were to be touched by humans... would you kill your baby if I touched it? No. So please read about birds and stop trying to be smart. Cya douche.
CookiesfromWoW 7 months ago
@MandyCharms if you knew a damn thing about exotic pet birds you would know your were very wrong.
You can touch them all you want the the parents will not care.
especially if they are your pets who have grown to love you and you do that.
it won't matter. Get you facts straight or shut up
xXxBellaGrlxXx 7 months ago
@MandyCharms People like you are what keep folks ignorant about birds by spreading misinformation. Non-carnivorous birds (that means ones who don't eat meat) have a very poor sense of smell. That nonsense they will reject the baby if it smells like humans is just that, nonsense. Further, does it really make sense to you that the parents of this bird, who have been handled by me for 8 yrs. would reject her for...smelling like me? Who's the retarded one?
Michelle5451 6 months ago
This bird is now 4 yrs old, extremely healthy, extremely happy and very bonded to me. Her parents took excellent care of her until she was full grown and I handled her daily since birth. Oops, there goes your unfounded theory.

@Michelle5451 actualy i belive u should leave it up to the parents to feed them the adults eat and regurgitate in the beaks of thier young
jackaroo988 6 months ago
@jackaroo988 Yep Jack - they bring food up from their crop and feed their babies. I've have birds for 20 yrs, pretty sure I know how it works. However, on the rare occasion the parents can't or won't feed the babies, then a human has to do it. Handfed babies are pretty common, but it takes skill so you don't kill the bird. How long have you been breeding birds and what kind do you have?
Michelle5451 6 months ago
I remember I had a baby parakeet, it lost one leg during it hatched, then 4 months later she flew away :(

@Michelle5451 budgie/budgerigar also means something along the lines of 'good to eat' or so i believe?

if you have a baby bird you should not have it in your hands or else the parents will sence the human sence and kill the baby bird.

@Vixktorhiaa1 That's absolutely not true at all and nothing but an old wives tale. First, birds have an extremely poor sense of smell. Second, the parents have been owned and handled by me for years...does it really make sense to you that the mother, whom I've handled for years, would reject a baby because it smelled like me? Use a little common sense and at the very least, please get educated on raising baby birds and possessing correct information instead of passing your guesses along.

Hi Michelle, Thank you again so much for the wonderful photos that you contributed to my parakeet website!! I'm still trying to educate people that it's alright to handle newborn birds as long as you are clean and careful, and that if necessary, you can even help the hatching process if a baby isn't progressing. I love your photos and videos! Great job!

@sarahhzombie44 Sarah, 7-8 years or months? Males have a blue cere. Any other color means female (white, pink, tan, etc.) Certainly by one yr old, the cere should have its permanent color.

@DulceRainbow I don't breed them, I think there are already too many breeders and therefore, way too many of these sweet birdies living in pet shops - where they don't belong. I let my own two bonded pairs have a few babies, which I kept.
Michelle5451 1 year ago
I love this! I grew up with breeding budgies and you have to start handling them very young, for even just a few minutes per day, to get them used to being daily human contact. Good work hand taming them!
johanna717 1 year ago
@johanna717 Thanks for commenting - it's pretty refreshing to have a former breeder speak up and point out I did nothing wrong by handling this baby. It's pretty funny the volume of people on here who clearly know nothing about budgies telling me I was wrong to handle her. Great laughs. She's been a total delight for the past three years since this video - she literally jumps into my hands and trusts me 100%, as do all my budgies. They're pretty fantastic critters!
