Great news. Just be careful of them flying with a full crop incase they crash land.Yesterday Baby had her first real flight!! She was airborn twice on monday, but not really flying.
And Mini has started climbing. We never though that this would happend due to lack of grip strength, but he really wanted out of the cage, and he found a way. That was fantastic.
They do not miss their parents at all. And the parents are also happy.
Now I must find a new handfeeding schedual.
Until now we have started feeding at 7 am, and then every 4th hour until 11pm. (Due to Minis previous underweight).
But now he is stabile at "normal" weight for his age (82-84 grams), and he is still asleep at 7, so I guess it will be safe to move first feeding to 8 am, and feed every 5th hour until 11 pm? (assuming he still keeps a stabile weight with this regime).
Thank you so much!Oh my word!!~! Beautiful birdies and those babies are adorable!!~!
They look older than mine did at that age...
Life Happens....at least they are in a good, loving home!!~!
Hopefully they will eat on their own soon, because now feeding time has become play time, in their heads.Sounds like they'll be eating on their own in NO TIME!!~!
You're giving me the Birdie Baby Blues.....and I saw the cutest tiny conure the other day....
...Probably won't though...at least not for awhile. I'd like Sephor to be at least a year old or older.
Not sure he is ready for a sibling....course not sure I'm ready either. This is why I have to stay
away from any place that has birds....
Most important: congratulations with your soon arriving grandbaby.I think I was just born to be a Mama LOL...I had a tribe myself. Miss having lil' ones around. Though, now it is the perfect opportunity to become a "Birdie Mama" again! I quit keeping birds when my daughter killed my beloved Cockatiel, Noah....death by crayon to cage while Mama was in the shower. Right then I decided it was too risky having birds along with a tribe of kiddos. I am still heartbroken over my sweet Noah...and that was, gosh, 1999ish? Almost twenty years....since I've had FIDS in the house. I just had wild FIDS after that.
I have no idea what it is like to be a grandma....yet....first grandbaby arrives in December. I'm excited but it is hard as I will probably not be able to go and visit them when he is born :0(
No babies in the house....empty nest syndrome lol....Kids grow up and move out and then rarely call cause they get busy with life and forget. Bird babies are there for the long haul! I'm looking forward to my 15-20+ years with Sephor hanging around.!
Sorry it took so long before I replied to your comment. It has been some chaotic days, and I'm exhausted.It's no wonder you don't have Empty nest syndrome!!-!
My children are a state away almost 20hrs with no way to see them presently except by video phone...and they are always busy.
Thanks for the congrats on grandbaby.
I'll probably be a birdie Mama to the end. Been looking at birds online again...it's like an addiction. Feel free to share lots of pics....
