I miss breeding tiels with my mother. It was always such a joy to have them around. Did you find out what happened to the 6th egg? Hopefully it didn't hatch and get stuck under the paper. :( I'm worried. Let me know!
Also, pics of the parents would be great! :D I would definitely take one but I have no idea how a baby would make it to Oregon.
Cass, I don't think that 6th egg could have possibly hatched as it disappeared several days ago. I hope we can locate it this afternoon, though, when we attempt to clean out the cage. Helen will have to be here, though, to distract Milly and Roger, before I can even attempt to look for it. I have never seen them like this before. Very, very protective. That is how I knew that this was serious egg business! :p
I will get pictures of Roger and Milly, I promise! They need a little exposure, too! :)

OH! Cute babies! I hope you find the missing egg.
Good luck!!! I can't wait to watch the little ones grow up. :)
Oh my gosh I wish my mom would let me take one. And I'm really close to you, too :(. They're beautiful, and I can't wait for more pics :D.
We have 3 babies as of tonight. :) We're treading lightly around them, but Roger and Milly did come out and let us hold the babies for a few minutes. That was nice. :)
Aww! How sweet! Good luck and can't wait for pics! :D
Grandma - oh, aren't you something? Brand new little ones for all of us to watch grow up.
Congratulations - and here is your champagne I brought over from Thursdays!
Awwww! How sweet!!! Little baby birdie bums!!!! :DQuote:

Here's "Daddy" (Roger). Isn't the first one hilarious? He looks like an eagle!

What great pictures. Roger certainly looks like a proud papa !!! :D
So I take it you didn't find the other egg then? :p
They are so cute. All yellow and fuzzy. hehehe. :D
I forgot to answer that part, Cass. It was no where to be found. I wonder if it broke and perhaps they ate the shell? I don't know. I just know was no where to be found in or around the cage.
Oooohh, I miss raising chicks!
My hen used to eat some of her eggs too. I assumed she knew they were infertile and probably ate them for nutritional benefits. One day, I'd count 10 eggs and the next day there'd be 9 or less. I'm sure it must be an instinctive survival mechanism :)
