You could have done one thing, that is IF you have taken elder chicks which are 5-10 days older on hand feed, and newly born babies shoul have kept under their mom's care :) what do you guys think on these ?
Unfortunately these realities not only in budgies life, or wild nature. We have to deal with it sometimes too. You just have a lot of budgies and percentage of accidents grows with it 💔
I am so sorry to hear. 😥 Yes, it is heartbreaking when we can't save our beloved birdies. I am still not over our Maxi's death (in February). Alen, you are doing everything anybody could possibly do. You are the best budgie-Daddy ever. Nature is so cruel sometimes, and that poor little chick was so very unlucky in his struggle. His mum only tried too hard. But he had you, who showed him so much love and kindness and who cared and worked so hard for him. My heart goes out to you and these beautiful little ones. Stay strong Alen. 🌈🐦🐣🙏🙏🙏❤️
Poor little soul. Such a little one would surely grow into a beautiful happy bird, with a curious soul armed with angelic wings, and grace this world with its singing😭 At least the two are still alive, and there was nothing you could do about that loss, hang in there💪
Oh, I'm so sorry Alan, that is just nature, i lost my dove the 3rd of September, she was a full adult, but she was just 8 months old, i found her and her brother when they were 1 and a half weeks old, she passed away because se got a sickness that only doves and owls get, she caught it first, and then her brother, by the time i figured out she was sick, it was to late, she was suppose to live 20 years 😔😔😢😢😭😭😢😢
Did you bring the baby that died to an avian vet? How do you know it died from parent overfeeding? I talked to my show budgie breeder friend, and he said that it would be very unusual for a baby to be overfed and die. It may have been some other health problem or a birth defect of the GI tract of some sort. Or perhaps the parent accidentally fed something hard that got lodged in the crop, causing crop stasis. Do you have access to an avian vet? A lot of people don't. If the other two babies aren't too old to accept hand feeding, you can take over, but I would let the parents do it. Make sure the formula fed to these older babies isn't too watery. Think pudding or applesauce consistency. They need a lot of calories to grow.
@alenaxp oh God. How awful. You must be devastated. I'm sorry. I would have given up trying to hand feed baby budgies or breed budgies if these things happened to me. I almost never tried again after I lost a hen from egg binding, and another hen lost the use of her legs for over a week after laying eggs.
rip baby! Today alen, i met my cousins birds they don’t bite hard and one likes to bite my finger it tickles ngl, and my cousins' love bird is the best, so I have name ideas what abt “loffy” and “sonic”!!😊

I would make sure you let the parents do the feeding if your feeding budgies only do that's unless you have too let me mother decided thing first just make sure there clean sometimes we just loose budgies and it's what's happens
I would love for the parents to take over feeding. Hand feeding is definitely not an easy job. I would never do it unless it was necessary to save a baby budgie's life. In this case, the mother's inexperience, being her first time, is causing some mistakes in raising the chicks.
