New Cockatiel babies! (updated on 6/3)

[Logan]

You're really tempting me with this ya know? Maybe I should ask my mom about that bird again..

I can't wait for more pictures. I keep checking back here to see how the babies are doing.

Tennessee is "doable"! And I wouldn't charge you for the baby! That will save you at least $100 so you could invest your money in the cage and toys and food, instead.

lol, yes it is. I'm trying to remember how far I am from where you are.. I'm really close to the NC state line, so it's probably not that far.

And, besides it being free it would be handraised and I could actually handle it, right? That's so much better than getting bit all the time, that's basically what's been keeping me from getting a bird.

I will definitely ask my mom this weekend about this, I'm really interested .

They're such cute little fuzzballs

Aw!!! How cute!!! Looks like they are waiting for a snack!!!

when do they get their eyes open?

[Logan]

Connie, I'm embarased to say that I can't remember when their eyes open, but I imagine that it will be in the coming week, especially for the ones that hatched first.

I am worried about the smallest one. He just seems to get trampled in the rush for someone to feed them. I hope he (?) is going to be ok.

Roxyluvsme, send me a PM if your mom is inclined to agree. If you're close to the NC line, it isn't far at all for us to meet. I'll be glad to talk with your mom on the phone if that will help.

Logan, as I know absolutely nothing about raising little birds...........do you supplement the feeding with an eye dropper or do Roger and Millie take care of everything?

They are so sweet!

[Logan]

Gini, right now, the are doing everything, but I am committed to this smallest baby that I think might be in jeopardy. I am researching things right now so that I can know what to do. My problem is that I worry about being able to feed him/her often enough to do any good. I hope that they will provide for all 5, but that is a lot of babies to care for and as far as I can see, Roger is doing most of the work, not Milly. Of course, I can't see them every minute, so I don't know exactly what is going on.

Let's hope and pray that they are doing all that is necessary right now.

Oh no. I hope the little one makes it through .

[Roxyluvsme13]

How are the babies doing?

[sandragonfly]

oh cock-cockgratulations, grandma logan!!

I've always wanted one or two - so so cute.. I can feel the softness from this screen... -melts-

I hope the smallest one is doing okay now!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Prayers for the little one, hope it makes it!

[Logan]

I have gotten some great advice from one of my bird friends complete with the "how to" on the leg. Scares me to death, to tell you the truth. Scott and I will review the information tonight and if he can help me, we will do all we can. I have the formula for handfeeding and will begin that process in a few minutes.

I hope this baby is going to be ok.

Thanks, you guys.
