Baby Budgies (Baby Parakeets)

Our budgie birds have successful made two babies. It is absolute magic watching the mated pair working together to feed their babies. I never knew that the male budgies are helpful. They gather the food, pre-digest it and bring it to the female, who digests it some more before popping it into the babies' mouths. When I peek into their cage, I feel like I am looking at little people who are bustling around trying to take care of their newborns. Super anthropomorphism, sure, but it's touching. As the babies get bigger, the fathers actually take over almost all of the feeding.

 

Here is the Dad giving the food to the Mom. While the babies are crying, Mom and Dad are bot sitting right over them, feeding them together. It's precious.
