We have budgie babies!

My second pair of budgerigars have been very busy lately, and we have the results. Mom sits on the nest almost all day round, so I have the chance to check it very rarely. But I was quick enough yesterday: Mom flew out to have a snack, and I could take a look what is inside the nesting box: three little chicks! One of them already quite big, showing some signs of feathers already, and the smallest is like a little bee - but in pink of course. :o) The third chick is somewhere in between. Budgerigar eggs do not hatch on the same day but after each other, so such differences in size are normal. Anyway, I am a bit worried about the small babies. Let's hope everything will go all right...
