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:

It's hard to see, but he is getting some pinnies on his back now, soon he'll be completely covered!

"Ok punk, you've got your photos! Now put me BACK!!!"

Yes, he is very spoilt! :p Bailee has not sung a song for about a month now, very sad, but this morning he found his song again and was wolf whistling and pop goes the weasle-ing and into battle charging at Snickers. If this keeps up i might have a musical Snickers before he's even weaned, lol!! :rofl:
