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:

Well today Bailee's been doing runny poos, and for the past week Cookie has had whole seeds in hers, so i phoned the vet and have been told to take in some poop samples. Cookie's out of the nest at the moment and giving me plenty to choose from, but Bailee is caring for Snickers and could be in the nest box for hours!

I put the poop on an old take away container lid, in a sandwich bag. I just got back from taking the poop to the vet, so now i just have to wait for the vet to call and let me know if anything is the matter.

In other news, lol, i gave Snickers a little cuddle today and the first thing he did was a lovely big poo on me. I've held him twice and both times he's done a poop, i can tell i'm his favourite person. ;)

Still haven't heard back from the vets, i was told they would ring yesterday afternoon but they didn't so hopefully i'll hear from them this morning.

From what i can hear Snickers is doing good, i haven't seen him this morning cause Cookie's sitting on him. :lol:
