Hi everyone, tomorrow I will be adding three 5 week old tiels to our household. Two are latinos and one is a pied. As far as I know the latinos that the parents throw usually turn into very subtle pearls, and are beautiful! I will be hand raising and taming the babies for a friend who is having some health issues and doesn't have the time to raise them herself. They are still in with momma bird and daddy until they can come here with me. I will make sure to take lots of "growing up" pics, as I know you will really love them!


I can't wait to go through this experience again. I miss handrearing the tiels my mother and I had while growing up and have been dreaming of doing it again. I will be keeping one of the babies, most likely one of the latinos which my friend will be giving me for having raised the babies. I have been saving my cage for the right birdy and oh what a dream to be able to raise him/her! I have the cage already, the food and toys and all sorts of goodies.
