...Here are some of their "Baby Pics"..... including photo of mom and dad.
Mom and Dad
Snuggle Time
We're all pink here
These babies are sooooooooooo sweet. They were hand fed from only a few days old. .. at first every three hours.
The mother bird layed seven eggs so the nest was rather crowded. I have included a picture of the parents - mommy dilute yellow and daddy a beautiful pasel green. Both of these birds have a lovely gentle nature too.
The oldest three babies were pulled and then a day later baby number four was pulled(pictured with the penny in older post). They were all very tiny but such little troopers. They really caught on to the feeding and grew so fast. I handled the babies often every day. It was a very enjoyable experience for me. As a result they are very friendly and calm and they really love to be held.
At about three and a half weeks we started introducing solid foods. They absolutely loved Avi-cakes - and still do. We also fed broccoli,corn peas, beans and dried cereals(rice krispies,cheerios and muesli) Their diet also includes seeds, brown rice, pasta and sprouted seeds and beans, and pellets. This keeps them very healthy and it's fun trying new foods with them.
My babies are raised in the main part of my home and are used to lots of different sounds and people. They are quite comfortable with all the household noises - vacuum cleaner, dish washer stereo, piano and various musical intruments and a dog barking.
I'm hoping to find loving homes for these two(two are already sold). They will need daily attention in order to keep their beautiful gentle temperament.
