Yes, i have surrendered to the persistent mating of Cookie and Bailee (and obviously i wouldn't have done if i didn't want the babies and any consequences). Gracie has moved into her old cage (her bachelorette pad) and Cookie and Bailee have been granted a (rather massive) nest box. I have to say that compared to a budgie nest box, the bulk of a tiel one is pretty surprising!! :lol:

Cookie thinks it's just brilliant. She's right into checking it out, nibbling it, peeking inside.

Bailee thinks mummy's shoulder looks much more inviting, but i'm sure when he figures that this gives Cookie even more reason to mate with him he'll like the nest box just as much. :rofl:

So everyone, here is where i'll update the journey of Cookie and Bailee as they (hopefully) raise a little family. Look out world, baby Bailee's are in the making. :eek:

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

Ok, so, i just turned my computer off, kissed Blinkie goodnight, climbed into bed, quietly told Cookie and Bailee to please not have any night frights tonight, opened my book and as i was reading the first page i hear it....

LITTLE TINY CHEEPING SOUNDS!!!

So my heart starts racing, and i'm grinning like an idiot, and i just HAVE to check on Cookie in the nest box and i can hear it even louder!!! :D There is definitely cheeping coming from under Cookie's tummy. I'm so excited!! AN EGG IS HATCHING!!! OMG!! I just honestly can't properly describe how excited i am right now!! I knew that i couldn't sleep without sharing the exciting news, hopefully tomorrow i'll be sharing photos of Cookie and Bailee's first little baby!!!
