It's still stunted, but it's happy and getting it's feathers. It is growing slightly but slowly. He'll stay here and be loved for however long he's meant to be in this world for. :)

Yup, he's still going strong (for a little guy). :) He goes in and out of the nest box with his siblings and is still being fed by the parents.

That sounds great. He may be littler at weaning and may take up to a year to get almost his full sized.

Little Whitey is almost always out of the nest now, and is starting to eat soft foods and playing with seed. :)

i'm glad he is getting back on track
depending on how big the clutch was, mum may of been struggling
a friend had a little one, who wasn't growing but was feathering, he died in the end but was one fighter and gave it his best
