Baby Budgie: Day 16

The little baby is doing well. He is eating every 3-4 hours still and eats vigorously. You have to hold him back when he is in hungry mode and knows you have food somewhere. It is funny how he will beak you to see if you are food. He is indeed very demanding when it is feeding time. Below are pictures of him today. Notice how some feathers are starting to feather out at the tips.


His legs are very strong. He sometimes tries to perch and often death grips you while you hold him. It can be difficult feeding him sometimes because all his limbs are in every possible direction while you try to position him for the feeding his feet are holding onto you tightly.

Even after eating he starts mouthing things. He is definitely curious and looks at me while I hold him after feedings. He often cries himself to sleep when I have him out even if he just ate his fill. He sure is a cry baby...haha

The last 2 pictures shows his carrier that he stays in. The sock has a buckwheat heat pad in it. He loves to climb up on top of it and will fall asleep stretch out on it. The container has holes drilled into it and I made the cover to wrap it up. I also made the cuddle tent for him if he wants to snuggle up.

Lets see how he looks tomorrow.
