The small cage is only to monitor tonight. They are going into a bigger cage tomorrow. I have 2 other Budgies who suffered beak ripoffs of top beaks, (3 years ago)they nevrr grew back fully but they managed verywell and are still flying happily in my avery. I stopped all budgie breeding, or any other birds breeding. This one is an adopted baby she is fostering from a hen who hatched 4 chicks. The little fellow hatched days after the other 3 and I feared he would be trampled by the older chicks, so i gave him to Daisy cause she is lovable and non agressive and her eggsdidnt hatch. I only bred 2 females. All was well until the stupid Lovebird flew through door and tried to get into box, obviously to lay her own eggs. I wasn't fast enough to get her out b4 damage was done! So we learn through our mistakes. She was defending the opening of box..........
