I cleaned the budgie nest yesterday. I used the little time which their mother spent out of the nest, took the chicks out one by one, and changed the woodshaving. Fortunately, Mum is spending more and more time out because the babies started growing feathers, so they don't need her warmth all day. She ate seeds herself today for the first time for weeks - Dad fed her during this time.
So, I used the time for taking photos, too. Don't be shocked, budgie babies DO look like this in the first weeks. Well, not as cute as newborn texel babies, are they? :o) Anyway, I don't mind, they will look brilliant soon...
They still have a big difference in size, but it is due to their different age: it is normal in the first weeks.
All the three chicks in the nest:

Nr. 1: "The Big One":


Nr. 2: "The Medium":

Nr. 3: "The Youngest":
