Crop Feeding Baby Budgies

Crop feeding has saved the lives of many young budgies whose parents are unable to feed them for one reason or another. It is a wonderful technique to learn for anyone breeding birds. The first, time can be a little confusing for the baby bird. The first baby budgie is a lutino and its mother died without warning. It needed to be crop fed to survive. A side benefit of crop feeding is that the birds become incredibly tame. The next baby budgie, a little cobalt, became so tame that I didn’t even have to hold him firmly in my hand while feeding. He would lie back in my open hand while I fed him and for minutes afterwards just looking around. Birds new to crop feeding will keep closing their beaks while the tube is being inserted into the crop. The next bird, a young creamino, took a few attempts to get the tube into his crop because he kept closing his beak firmly on the feeding tube. Baby budgies need to be fed by their parents for 4 to 6 weeks after they leave the nest. The little cobalt recessive pied had been out the nest for a week when his parents just suddenly stopped feeding him. I don't know why but without intervention, it is unlikely that he would have survived. Some baby budgies get really excited about being fed when they have been crop fed for a while. The next baby, a little green recessive pied, was crop fed from two weeks old. He would get excited just seeing me with the syringe grabbing at the tube. His enthusiasm made it quite difficult to insert the tube in his crop. Some baby budgies find it quite a shock to be crop fed and it takes patience to reassure them. The second to last baby budgie, another green recessive pied, struggled for a whole week before he was happy to be fed a full meal. At first, he would only accept small amounts of food each time I fed him. There was a time that I was worried that he wouldn't survive. Fortunately, he is now a happy, strong bird. Each bird is different. The last green recessive pied is the sibling of the previous bird shown, and he took to being handled and crop fed immediately as it had been the way he had been fed all his life.
