I'll keep you posted!

Maybe Roger is practicing some birdie lullabies!

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!!

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! 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!*

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!

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.

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? 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!
