Please wish Helen a HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me!
Glad you are all safe and warm too!
Roger's practicing new tunes that he's planning on teaching his babies when they hatch! What a proud daddy he's going to be!! :DQuote:

Logan, did Helen tell you that I talked to her on Yahoo Messenger today, when you left the computer? I told her to take lots of pics of the babies when they're born! Be sure to remind her! We need to witness the first PT *baby birdies* growth! :D He he! I can't wait till they hatch! I'm sure you're all getting excited, waiting for the new babies to come! Then you'll be *Mother of many and grandma of many too!* :D
She did tell me, PCB! :) We'll try to get as many pictures as possible. I haven't taken any of the eggs, although I should at some point when Milly comes off of them to eat. I will try today.

Logan, although I know nothing about birds, I have been following this thread. It's SO exiting, isn't it!! :)
I have a couisin, he has been "raising" parrotts and hand feeding them most of his life, but we're not in contact. Anyway, PCB and others can most likely give you some good advise. ;)
Good luck! :)
Did you get any? ;) I would love to see what cockatiel eggs look like! :DQuote:

When are you leaving for California, and how long will you be away from home? I sure hope you don't miss too much!
Monday Update
As I prepare to leave on my trip (I'll be home late Friday night, PCB), it looks like Milly has decided to abandon her eggs, Roger too. :( Apparently this is not unusual for a first time mama, but it still makes me a bit sad. :(
I won't touch them and no one else will, either, until I get home and then can remove them if she is still not sitting on them. Things work out, strangely, sometimes, I guess.
Logan
Poor Milly, poor Roger, poor Logan.... :( We all know about things working "in mysterious ways" and perhaps this is one more example. I know nothing about birds but we just have to trust little Milly's instincts I guess. Have a safe trip and try to relax and not worry about this too much.

Oh dear. :( Maybe Milly knows something we don't know. Maybe those eggs aren't fertile at all and she knows that? :confused: I guess we should just trust the little feathered *mama's* instincts. Please keep us updated when you can! I'll be waiting for you Friday night!
