baby

[martin37]

just been in my avairy to get a baby out for someone only to find that one of my other babies has been killed by the other birds really upset my little girl that was out with me

[Budgiekin]

OH MY!! I am so sorry to hear about this! I guess there were no signs that this little one was being picked on? I couldn't imagine what that must have felt like. How old is your little girl? Is she too young to understand what happened?

[kisses]

Sorry to hear about the baby being killed. Do you have a lot of birds together?

Sorry to hear about the baby being killed. Do you have a lot of birds together?
yep but only about 17 adults and babies
in quiet a big avairy there is plenty of room for them to move about without flying in to each other
:budgie:

[kisses]

Wow! Must be big! Again sorry to hear about the baby. How old are the babies?

y little girl understands that hings have to die but we wasnt ready for it to happen in such a violent manner they had started to eat at the babies head it was quiet horrific
my little girl is 7 she was ok with it she kept telling my wife but she just kept saying shut up daisy thats enough ( she is dead squeamish about things like that:budgie:

[Skye]

OH my- that is terrible!

Um.. Not to sound odd or anything but what does squeamish mean?

[Donna]

Being squeamish about something means that it really bothers them a lot.

And Martin37, I am really sorry that all of this had to happen. I guess sometimes a parent bird can turn on a baby but it's terrible that your daughter had to be present when you discovered this. It's hard enough for an adult to deal with such a thing, but a child can't emotionally understand, and it's even more tramatic for them.

I hope your other babies will be alright. Let us know how things go. And you might want to keep a close watch on the remaining babies. Do you think they are safe? How old are they? I guess I would remove the babies from the aviary (if they are old enough) and you can care for their needs yourself, until they are large enough to fight for themselves.

I totally agree with Donna....maybe you should remove the babies..God forbid anything should happen to the other little ones.:( So sorry to hear that sweetie, and very sorry your little girl had to witness it so early in life. God bless you both.
