    Unweaned means that a baby bird is not weaned from it's mother.unweaned means it can not take care of itself and feed itself.or even fend for itself.an unweaned bird is a bird which cannot live without it's mother feeding it.and yes it dose happen to baby budgies it can happen to any bird wild or demesticated.all birds that are babies and cannot feed itself with help of a mother or foster parent.just like a humane baby.babies can't eat solid food until they have teeth.babies that are unweaned still feed from a bottles are unweaned babies.weaned babies eat solid food without help or force feeding.if you have unweaned baby budgies here are some ways to feed them

    #1.go to a petstore and buy exact baby bird food.it comes in powdered form.

    #2.heat up some water to normal tempature NOT HOT around 98F.take the water and put a few drops on your wrist like for a baby child.

    #3.read the directions and put that amount in the water

    #4.mix it until there is no clumps of powder in the water.

    #5.bend a spoon to act as a funnel.

    #6.slightly grab the head NOT tight!

    #7.take the spoon and put it to the babies beak and let the baby swallow.

    #8.it depens how old the baby is.1-7 days feed around the clock every 2 hours,8-21days every 6 hours.baby budgies are weaned around 21-30 days.put some soaked seed in a cup and each day streatch the feedings and sooner or later you will see cracked seeds on the floor of the cage.I know this was more then what you wanted but i hope this helps

    Source(s): study vet,and avian medichine in school.LOVE ANIMALS!READ every bird and animal book i can find.i'm only 13 but i know my stuff.GOOD LUCK

    Unweaned means the parents or the breeder still feeds the baby. When a bird can eat seed or pellets on his own all the time it is considered weaned.

    An unweaned bird is a baby bird that has stopped hand feeding yet ..
