How cute! How old are they? I want to pull and handfeed when my budgies have babies also.

The oldest one I pulled is 8 days old.....I worry when I see the tiny ones.....that they will get squished.....I love feeding them!

Both are eating like little vacuum cleaners!.....The suction is too funny!.....I think if I let them, they would eat until their crops explode!....They eat so fast it is incredible!....They are very strong for their size, and flap their little wings while I feed them.....Too funny!
