Congratulations!!

How is Bailee dealing with this? Is he still being territorial?

 

He's being lonely. He spent the night all alone outside the nest box, and this morning he crept over to see what was keeping Cookie. He looked in with his heart wings, and going "beep, beep, beep" and then he saw his girl and started saying "Cookie Cookie Cookie". Hopefully he picks up on his food intake because Cookie doesn't look like she plans to move out of that nest box for a while yet - she's been in there almost 12hrs straight.

 

What a great picture Bea Bailee keeping guard checking on his woman

 

Ziggy's been doing the beep beep beep noise too. Congrats again and tell Cookie it's ok to take a little break!

 

Cute She looks like she is looking at Bailee like where is the food

 

Cookie still hasn't come out of the nest box, it can't be healthy to hold poop for this long and not eat/drink! Should i make her come out somehow? I'm just being a worried mum again.

 

Looks like they are chewing the paint or w/e on the inside. hehe gives cookie something to be doing i guess.

I don't think it will hurt her to stay in there but if your worried i don't think it will hurt to take her out. She will probably run right back in there. Hope you get some cute little pieds

 

You can take her out. Baby ussually comes out right after an egg. Being that she'll be out she'll poop and probably stop and eat a little then go right back in. The longest Baby's in the box without coming out is at night. During the day she takes about three small breaks.

 

Well i just went up to check on Cookie and she was out of the box for a break, and ready for some kisses and cuddles. I got her out and held her over the bathroom sink while she dropped her massive bomb of approx 16hrs of poop. She really wanted to sit on my head for that event but i told her NO WAY!! LOL!!!! Then she flew down to say hello to her budgie boyfriends while Bailee screamed for her to come back (i guess he doesn't want to be a single dad) and then i took her back up to my room and her and Bailee got a quick cuddle before going back to egg duty.

 

Good to hear! And good choice to stay away from head perching...lol

 

Thats great she finally came out for a poop...hehe glad to hear it wasn't on your head

 

:lol: So am i, this isn't normal wipe away with a tissue poop, this is stain your carpet, have to change your tshirt type poop. That's why i thought to take her to the sink.

 

my budgie Jasmine who is the only one right now on eggs, hardly ever comes out of her nest box either I see her out maybe 2xs a day, unless i peek in the nest box then she comes out, but when she does come out Tweety just gripes at her and follows her all around yelling at her , then she'll go back in the nest box and he'll sit on the outside and as soon as she goes in he stops yelling LOL

but I have gotten my b/f almost pooped on from her twice, when she came out her vent was swelled (her last egg was laid on the 4th I think i'd have to look it up again) but i got all scared and made him take her out to check and all it was was she had to poop and she drop her bomb and almost got him but he moved back and it got the carpet instead , the 2nd time he said "you know darn well i'm going to get her out and she's just going to poop on me , and you'll sit there and laugh, I really think your doing this just so i'll get that massive poop on me" === even know that would be hilarious That truely wasn't my intentions , but both times she let her massive poop drop and she wasn't swelled up no more - So that eased my mind majorly


and before i forget - congrats on the egg ( i know you didnt want no babies, But they'll pull your heart strings fast!)

If i didn't want babies i would never have got them the nest box.

 

congrats cookie, bails and bea on your 1st egg

 

The sink is a good idea But hey don't you have a Brother

 

hehehehehe

hooray! congrats on the egg Bea!

 

Awww, I'm so pleased everything seems to be going well.

 

Any sign of #2 yet Bea?

 

She's been in the nest box 99% of the time so i haven't seen much of her to be able to tell. I'm sure there'll be a second egg in the nest box tonight or in the morning.

 

She's being a great mommy to have started incubating already! Goodluck on the second eggie!

 

Egg #2 arrived while i was at horse riding this afternoon!

Cookie's timing for rest breaks is terrible. She comes out wanting to come out for a quick cuddle with me, but she always seems to choose the times when i'm just about to go out or i'm busy. I have to sneak Cookie out for a quick cuddle, because if Bailee is egg-sitting for her and realises she's gone he abandons his duties to run around like a headless chicken screaming for her.

 

Bailee is too funny! I can just picture him doing that. Congrats on #2 Cookie! You look gorgeous sitting on your eggies!!!

 

I forgot to mention that Bailee sings lullaby's to his eggs when he's on egg duty. You can hear him in there singing really quietly to them.

 

awwwwww thats cute lol congrats on the eggs

 

Cookie is such a good mum!! I just bought Bailee out for an hour play time while Cookie stayed in the cage to attend to her motherly duties. Well, out of habit i left the cage door wide open, i couldn't see Cookie (as she was on her eggs) and so it just didn't click in my brain that she was in there. Well, i just put Bailee back and realised what i had done! I checked to see that Cookie was still in the nest box and she sure was, snoozing with her little eggs under her.

 

Awww! Mine are the same-unlike before when they sometimes wanted to venture away now the cage is open and they stay right there..same with the singing to the eggs except Ziggy sticks his head in and sings to her and the eggs..

 

Awww great pics. i love cookie. Her face is so sweet! I still let the breeding budgies out of there cage and they do come out for all of 5 mins and then its back to the eggs. i can't see myself not letting them out as they are still pets and enjoy it.
Glad cookies being such a good mommy. I'm waiting 4 days and the real test of how good a mommy lilly is cause her first bub will hatch.

 

That great that the second egg is here That is so cute how Bailee and Ziggy sing to the eggs
