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. :p 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
 
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

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. :p
