Just want to let you know that my widowed budgie has two babies doing well and the only male in the aviary who has a wife with 3 eggs is now in with the widow helping with her babies. How fickle these birds are. But at least poor mum has another wing to lean on ;D ;D ;D

That is great news Bev. They sure can be funny buggers budgies, but at least she is getting help. Don't be surprised if he takes on 2 wifes & you end up with more fertile eggs from your widow.  Cheers Anna |

Only one baby now but it is big and fat so looks like it will survive. She still has five eggs in the nest I don't know whether to leave them or take them out!

I'd leave them Ollie you'd be surprised how a single bird can adapt!  Frank |

Thanks Frank I will. Just thought it might be too much but the male other male seems to be sharing himself between the two females so here's hoping.
