so cute!!!.... can´t wait to see him/her grow!!...

 

I am so glad that an egg hatched for you. He is so sweet and tiny Iam sure his crest will fill in that bald spot in no time

 

Awh, that's soo cute!

I can't wait to have a little fluffy tiel like that. Congrats to you all, and especially mummy, what a great mum she'll be and a great dad the little one has also. :clap:

 

Thanks for the great update Bea. I love reading about the loves and lives of Bailee and Cookie. So, no more eggs will hatch then, is that right? In a way that will be good that they have only the one little babe to look after, they can concentrate all their efforts on Persnickety. How on earth did you come up with that name?

 

Persnickety is a character from a really cute little childrens book series.

I just picked Persnickety up for a quick cuddle, and i noticed he's got whole seeds in his crop, will he be able to digest that?

 

Awww, Bea I missed this congrats on your adorable litttle guy!! What a spoilt baby s/he is going to be. As for the seeds in the crop, I'm not too sure. I wouldn't have thought it's a lot to worry about.

 

A while ago i thought the crop looked too full but it's emptied a bit since then so i guess it's not a problem. Everything i've read says the bub should be fed crop milk for the first few days rather than whole seeds/chunky bits, but i guess if it's going through it doesn't matter too much. I think the reason behind it is that Bailee is doing most of the feeding, and it's usually the mummy bird who produces crop milk.

 

Well if they should only have been fed crop milk the first few days lilly is doing it wrong aswell. She fed them with seeds.

 

Hows everyone doing today?has Cookie laid anymore eggs?

Make sure you gets some pics soon im not trying to pester you as i no you dont like to disturb them to much but there just so cute when there that small LOL

 

He doesn't look a great deal different still and Bailee hides him under his wing, so photos are hard to get at the moment. No more eggs yet, but the next one would be due today if it's going to happen.

 

There like children though arent they one minute there so tiny next its there first day at school i cant belive my oldest son is 6 this year it wont be long and snickers will be flying around the room and getting into everything lol

I hope Cookie gives herself a rest so she can concerntrate on little snickers its so cute Bailee is being so protective

 

Here's Persnickety, on day 4 of life!

 

Aahhh thanks for the pick he looks like hes having a good old rest wont be long and he will be posing for you lol

 

What a beautiful little bub It must be so great to watch him grow I know Iam enjoying watching him grow up as well

 

I love that picture resting his/her little head on the egg

 

Cookie and Bailee have already begun to train their baby in the art of owning humans, i picked Snickers up for a quick cuddle and he pooped on me.

 

haha thats too funny and true

Do I see a pied spot on Snickers right wing? (on the left in the most recent pic)...?

Kirby

 

I dunno, do they get different coloured patches of skin? If they do i guess it could maybe be a pied spot.

 

aww his head isn't so bald ne more

I think its so cute how they get thier head feathers almost last.... When my budgies start getting feathers its like they've got an "old man" head for a while you can see the darker color where the feathers are going to come in and where they've came in.. Just remindes me of an old man with a really bad bald spot lol

 

Awww, he is really beautiful, I love the way he's using the other egg as a prop for his little head. I think he's got his father's beak.

 

Cookie's laid another egg tonight. <_< I guess if i want to look on the bright side of things more eggs means more head rests for Snickers. I do hope she stops soon, i don't want her to wear herself out!

 

LOL more head rests. I'm not familiar with the workings of a female tiel. Is it like a chicken? Will she just carry on laying now? Or once little Snickers is bigger will she stop again? I know that not all the eggs are fertile, but didn't know if it was a case of she keeps laying until they mate again when the eggs will become fertile again.......like a chicken!

She should lay what she considers a clutch (so hopefully no more than 4-5 eggs) and then stop again. I think what happened is the first lot of eggs didn't hatch and so she got ready to lay again (by mating with toys) and then Snickers hatched and caught her by surprise.

 

Persnickety is so cute! And the name is so cool, lol! :lol: I guess Cookie just doesn't want to stop!

 

i think cookie wants more babies lol

 

That is abit strange for her to be laying again. I would just watch her really close to make sure Daddy Bailee does not help with the egg making
