Well, it's been a week since I posted progress photos of the 3 baby BFAs so I thought it time for another update. They are now about 5 weeks old -- hard to believe. Here are photos of them that I took earlier today and then for kicks, I am posting photos of them from prior dates to show just how much and how quickly they have developed in barely a month's time.

First let me say, this clutch is so colorful! The yellow on their shoulders is already obvious and abundant. These guys are going to be so much fun to wean. I have one placed so far to a good home but still looking for homes for the other 2. If anyone here should be interested in one of these darlings, please feel free to PM me or to send me an email at: thecozynestbox@gmail.com.
We are looking for homes where the babies will remain fully flighted and where the keepers are familiar with or willing to learn how to use positive reinforcement strategies for handling and training the babies.Thank you!

This is a shot of the oldest baby. What a little doll!


Here are the 2 oldest ones side-by-side. Can you see the blue on the head of the oldest to the left?


Here are all 3 together. Look at all that yellow on their shoulders!


This is the youngest baby....what a little sweetie.


Now, just look back and see how far they have come so quickly. This photo is of them just 1 week ago! I just love their fuzzy bottoms. :)


Here they were on May 23rd.


This is from May 13th...just barely over 3 weeks ago. I am forever amazed at how quickly young parrots develop.


Here they were on May 10th.

They are SOOO CUTE!! If I didnt have a scarlet macaw coming into my life sometimes within this summertime (hopefully), or a few of my other amazons.. I'd snatch up one of the babies... but alas, I have no room.

They are ADORABLE THOUGH!!:heart::heart::heart:

Kelli, they are beautiful! So much color! Have you DNA'd them yet? Is Jackie taking one? LOL! I hope you find great homes.

Thank you, Judy, and everyone else as well for your compliments.

We have not DNA'd them yet, but will be once they are fully feathered. No, Jackie has not committed to one yet but I'm working on her! :cool1::cool1::cool1:

Mercedez, I know your heart is set on a Scarlet (or two!). If you ever do want a baby BFA, keep me in mind though. Maybe you'll have room for one down the road sometime!

I'd of course ask for it to be fully flighted and weaned onto a very healthy diet. Which I know you do both of. You are such a good breeder:hug8:
