Me, a grandma????? OH NO!!!!

[Logan]

I just took a peek, and now Milly is sitting on 5 eggs that I can see!!!! We got another one today!!!!

Interesting thing I have noticed. Milly is obsessed with bathing. And there is no room for me to put a bowl for her in the cage and I haven't let her out since this started. She has taken to sitting in her water dish for her daily bath, instead. I'm just changing the water a little more than usual!

[Tweety_Pie]

yay! another egg!

LOL Tweety always baths in her water bowl. She hates anything thing else.. but Dexter loves to take baths in EVERYTHING lol.

You're going to Sacramento? I hope you don't miss the hatching! Logan, I read that birds like to stay wet when sitting on eggs, because those eggs need humidity, which Milly is trying to provide! Keep a bowl of water there for her so she can provide her eggs with the humidity they need!

Won't it be NEAT if your birdies get babies? I think they'll be the first tiel newborns on PT! It will be interesting to see what colors they turn out! I can't wait!!! You know I will demand pictures!

wow baby teils!!! when i had cheeko and homer they had mated so we thought they were going to have eggs. but they didnt. we put a nesting box in their cage and homer ripped it apart lol.

good luck with the little birdies!!

are you going to keep them?
I am excited for you.

[Logan]

One thing is for sure.....we will certainly try to find homes for all of them, but those homes will have to pass my inspection, which could be tough! We know we have a home for one, at least, with a friend who has been waiting forever for a baby Cockatiel.

Logan.............any updates? Any new eggs? Any babies getting ready to hatch? I'm getting impatient! How are Roger and Milly doing?

[jenfer]

Congrats! heehee... Hope to see pictures of the expecting parents.

[Logan]

She's still sitting on six. Thank goodness there are no more!!! LOL!!!!!

Just say a prayer that our power doesn't go out today. It is very, very cold, and very icy, with more expected. I would be a wreck if it went out, worrying that she and the eggs, and Roger, of course, were warm enough.

I used to have a bird bath that attached to the door opening of my finches cage. I could attach it and they could decide when it was bath time. I looked for poo and feaethers in the water and of course preening and I knew when to take it off. It didn't take up room in their house. It was large enough for at least a parakeet but I'm sure they make them large enough for other birds too. I wish I could have a baby birdie but I have my hans full with Nibbles.

Logan! Are you all OK with this ice storm? Is Milly staying warm enough? Do you still have heat? * oh fret fret *

I was wondering this too, because you haven't been online much lately, and I've been reading how icey it is in SC on the news right now. Hope you are all safe and warm, and that Mama and Papa birdie are doing well! Keep us updated!

[Logan]

I'm fine, as are the Mom and Dad Cockatiels!! Milly is a diligent mom, for sure, and regardless of the circumstances, she is sitting on those eggs!! Thankfully, we did not lose power through the ice storm. And now, if we can just make it through the democrat's debate tonight (lots of media attention in our area), we should be fine!!!

Sorry to have worried you all, but with no school, and Scott being unable to go to work, I have not had much computer time!! I prefer to do my Pet Talk "talking" when no one is around and that hasn't happened for days now!

Helen went back to school today on a 2 hour delay, for the first time all week. And today is her 13th birthday!!! YIKES!!!!!

The only thing unusual, birdwise, is that Roger is singing some unusual tunes!!! He is making some new sounds!!!!

I'll keep you posted!

Logan

Logan, thanks for checking in and glad that all of you are alright.

Well, I guess when you are about to be a Daddy you kind of do have to "change your tune" don't you
