As some of you (“you” referring to the one person out there reading this blog) may know, one of our female budgies recently laid some eggs. At first, we were excited about the prospect of baby budgies. The first egg cracked, probably from being used for budgie soccer. A second egg was laid, then a third. We figured we had a good chance at getting a cute little baby budgie out of this.

We have since given up on the whole thought. In fact, we’re considering contacting Budgie Protective Services to report a neglectful budgie mom. LOL. The second egg has cracked and the third is currently being completely ignored for most of the day. Oh, mama tries. She does. She spends a few minutes a day trying to sit on the egg and/or figure out what to do with it. She even runs off any of the other budgies who try to get near it. But, I’m getting the feeling that she’s just not cut out to be a budgie mom. At least, not yet.

Still, all in all, it’s been fun watching the birds and seeing how they react, whether or not we get a baby budgie out of it.
