Just wanted to show you all my baby budgie that i'm going to begin hand raising tomorrow. :-D
We named him (or her! we don't know!) pipsqueak since he is going to be a tiny baby.
He is a very special baby however having a condition called splayed legs, Where instead of his legs being under him and supporting his body they are sticking out sideways instead. I believe it was from his mother sitting on him too hard thus forcing his legs out from under him.
I have made splints for his legs using makeup sponges (as seen in some of the photos) that i attached yesterday while he is still in the nest with mum, however i might just tape his legs together using medical tape when i begin hand raiding him since then he can move them interdependently instead of essentially being shackled!
Enjoy his baby cuteness :-D
When he was a baby baby!
A few days later! They grow so fast!
Here is the little darling with his splints on! It looks cruel but at least his legs are no longer out beside him!
