Ducky’s Growing Up Journey: An Indian Ringneck from Egg to Bird!

Ducky (AKA Baybell) is the only surviving baby of Beaker and Tinkerbell. She has had a rough journey, and we didn't think she was going to make it at first. But this little girl is headstrong and is now thriving! We love her to bits.

[@krisfinley6706]

Im going to have to get used to the new name Ducky, Baybell is rooted in my brain lol. I'm so happy for her proud parents!❤ Thank you for a montage of her development! 😊

Well put Brenda, and you as well... 😊

[@catsberry4858]

Yesssssssssss. Good for u 😊 also remember that each bird also experiences the same kind of egg-chick losses tons 😢 some also have infertility problems I once knew a budgie who was SO SO SO DEPERATE to become a mama ❤😢😢😢 She never had any eggs come to success, so she never had any baby budgies ever 😢😢 She got so DEPRESSED OMG, and full of emotion and pain and suffering, that she started stealing others’ eggs. Stealing their chicks, just so needing to fill that maternal urge so badly ❤😢😢😢😮😮😮 She even started attacking the other mamas in order to get a baby for herself. It destroyed me. I met her when I was a kid. They had to take her out of the aviary and house her in her own space by herself since she had become a danger. It’s still a devastating story to this day, for me ❤❤❤ just remember, birds and all God’s creations, all go thru the same joys & turmoils that we do. It’s both highs and sometimes terrible, crushing lows. I still think of that budgie and I wonder if she ever got her wish come true to become a mother 😢❤

[@Panisgood]

owner had to pull Ducky from the nest because they Beaker and Tinkerbell weren't feeding her lol

[@catsberry4858]

@@Panisgood it’s not their fault :) all inexperienced parent birds and parent anyone, try and fail and error and success in the early times of parenthood. In the bird world, several clutches can all fail (die) before any successful chick actually survives & lives into adulthood. So all those dead eggs which never fully developed, is super common & the birds don’t get the experience of trial and error of parenthood until one actually keeps surviving. Where breeders come in, much intervention is involved. I just saw what looked like a perfectly healthy fully developed bird embryo chick DIS (die in shell), it never hatched & somehow something went wrong.. but all outward appearances, the chick looks healthy. In the natural world, sadly bird babies just die all the time & it’s way more common, just like human babies used to die constantly.

[@karinbarger9192]

@catsberry I raised chickens Just ordinary, but lovely chickens. But out of any ordinary clutch, there were sometimes an egg or two in which a fully developed and anxious to hatch out chick couldn’t finish the job of fully hatching out. That was always sad to me. It’s a tough job, hatching out all the way! It might take a full day, even more, to fully break their way free of that shell. Usually, those that are unable to finish before they’re just too worn out to carry on any longer, the hen has called it a day and begun ushering all her hungry babies off the nest in search of food. Occasionally, if I was lucky enough to find them quickly, I could bring them indoors ( in a warm pocket with my hand over them ) to allow them time needed to rest while keeping warm! One time I did that though, it took 3 more days! You can guess, I’m sure, how that turned out: a chick that thought I was mom and the real mom wasn’t interested in making sure it was learning how to search for food. ( She knew exactly how many chicks she had following her around, didn’t keep track of it at all.) I also fed them with chick feed but the one who’d been with me for 3 days before complete hatching was just on its own! Those were probably the most time-consuming, exhausting couple of months I’d ever spent in all the years I had spent caring for chickens! Lol My chick grew up to be a not-needed rooster. Of course! Lol But, he was pretty mellow 😉

I'd say it works for some amphibians too, adult frogs or salamanders can be cute (or at least be beautiful thanks to their colors). And eventually marsupials though one could question what counts as a baby in their case.

[@SweetieCutieLullaby]

Yeah, I know the parents were trying to help Beaker for a while. Tink’s over-preening turned to plucking. So they had to work on making sure she didn’t do that anymore. Tinkerbell had no ill intent behind it though! She was just trying to be loving with him. (But yes, his feathers coming back is great. The parents did a good job helping him recover from the unintentional plucking)

[@ladyhawkster2854]

@SweetieCutieLullaby I often wonder if the intent when a mate begins this behavior. 🤔 I had the same issue with a bonded pair and couldn't decide what was causing it. I once thought it was because the male was jealous as the female had other males interested in her. Beaker and Tinkerbell are the sweetest couple, and I love watching them

⁠@@GGibletyes, ppl have even posted or named the video where he says “hi, Bay-bell!” and Tink is the only one there cuz the 2nd clutch didn’t live yet 😂😂 and stillllllll, ppl wont give this up and just have their hearts set on someone else’s family member that they get to name, not us 😢

[@catsberry4858]

MP418, you are right and most helpful 😊 I hope this can shed some light: ​​⁠they/Beaker dont name other birds, it’s not a natural thing that they do. This is a big big misconception flying around :/ he is a mimicker - all parrots can mimick. They just copy what they hear, like tink copying the race car and alarm sounds. If she made that sound all the time around Ducky, we wouldnt think that she was naming her an alarm sound or car sound, u know what i mean? :) This is just a huge misconception. The most intelligent of parrots are the ones who can solve puzzles, be taught how to decipher colors, numbers, be actually taught to *learn* 😊. Think African Greys, Macaws, Sulfur-crested Cockatoos, etc, they can actualy be taught to learn :) but in general most parrots do not get to this point & do not possess this level of intelligence. They simply are mimicking what they hear, like a copying machine lol, like when beaker lists off his dozens of phrases a lot and he just is saying them to say them lol, cuz he enjoys being a copying machine :P Hope that helps :) A LOT of parrots enjoy being copying machines hehehe 😂❤
