If your budgie's parents are still around they will most likely care for them on their own. However if the parents aren't around or aren't caring for the babies properly, you will need to start feeding them yourself. Most pet stores will carry a basic baby bird food which has feeding instructions depending on your bird's age. You'll also need a syringe with which to mix and feed the food. As your bird grows you can start introducing an adult balanced diet to encourage them to begin eating more solid foods.
