hipothetically speaking, she would get beautiful babies even if she bred normal greys =D I love this little guy tho. soo darn cute!

 

Snickers is looking so cute!! All grow up perching!

 

I don't know about Gracie's splits, but i wouldn't bred her anyway because i have no idea of her family history, plus she's already almost three, so even if i wanted to, by the time Snickers is 18months she'll be 4 and a half which i think is too old to breed for the first time.

 

we can dream...... LOL.. j/k... but now seriously (maybe way too far ahead) would you consider a mate for Snicky?...

AND do you have more pics?? pretty please!!!!

 

No mate for Snickers, as great as this experience has been i desperately miss having all my tiels out for cuddles and play in the evening. I much prefer having them as pets than breeders.

I'll go take some more photos of the little cutie now, just for you.

 

Snickers is so handsome!!! It's amazing how fast they grow!!!

 

Snickers is growing so fast Looks like all his wing feathers are grey And that tiny tail is so cute

 

just think of the size of him when he hatched till now what a difference

 

Just for the record, i did take new photos at the time i said i would, but i've only just got up to uploading them.

It's day 31 for my little man, and he swallowed his first crumbs all by himself today! He firmly believes that striking, pouncing and belly flopping his food is the best tactic to get it in his tummy. LOL!!!

Snickers on his little foraging area

Rolling a piece of rice around in his beak (none of that went down)

Looking at something or other...not sure what

Now for some cute photos of him trying to eat birdy bread...

 

Oh my goodness Bea he has the sweetest looking face ever

 

Oh Bea, he really is a sweetie.

 

Snickers is looking so cute eating his bread!

 

AWWWWW!!!... thank you!!!... he looks so innocent and sooo soooo cute!!!

 

He is so cute Look at him eating his big bird food

 

My ceiling to floor mirrors are now covered with sheets so that when he decides to take his first flight he won't crash into that particular obstacle.

 

Lol! I was gonna say, thats one thing you dont want him to do like his dad.

 

I'm feeling rather keen for Snickers to leave the nest box, i caught Cookie and Bailee mating just now so the sooner i can take that box down, the better!!!!

 

UH OH those naughty birds

 

I'm armed with fake eggs if she decides to lay eggs again. I gave Bailee a stern talking to....while he was happily perched on Cookie's back. Once i'd given him the "no more babies" talk i had to give him the "don't use your girlfriend as a perch you idiot" talk. :rofl:

 

Bailee, Cookie and Snickers just spend close to an hour hanging out with me on my bed. It was so much fun. We started with some mashed sweet potato - i think more went in my eye brows than in any tiels tummies! But Snickers seemed to really like it when i fed him some off my fingers. Cookie just scoffed it until her beak was covered and then flung it all around the room or wiped it on my pants...she's charming that girl! Bailee spent his time picking the left overs off Cookie and Snickers faces.

After snack time it was cuddle time. Everyone got some snuggles from me, even Bailee who hasn't wanted his favourite mummy cuddles for weeks! He gave in to them because he was trying to get Cookie to give him scratches and she wouldn't, so i was the next best thing. Poor Snickers was snuggled under my chin and he got REALLY cranky when Cookie and Bailee started smooching in front of him!!! LOL!!! I could just imagine him going "EWWWW!!! Parents kissing!!! How embarrassing!!!"

After all that cuddling i was almost falling asleep, so i popped everyone away before i dozed off and squished them, hehe. I took some photos which i'll upload later and post, though i didn't get any cuddle photos - i was too busy enjoying the time with the fids.

 

:rofl: Sounds like Bailee is becoming his lovable yet dorky self again And Snickers had his very first embarrassing moment, lets hope he never asks where he came from

 

And Snickers had his very first embarrassing moment, lets hope he never asks where he came from

"Well, i know it's hard to believe sweetie - but that big yellow idiot somehow managed to catch your mummy's eye....."

Here are some photos i took of our family cuddle time earlier.

...you can see he still tries to eat everything, hopefully he's got his mummy's brains and figures out pretty fast that he can't eat his own foot.

 

Ha! thats so cute!

Are any of your 'tiels foot birdys?(I mean do they eat the food out of their foot) Its pretty cute when they do.

None eat from their feet, but both Gracie and Bailee hold things like feathers and paper sticks so they can play.

 

Thats to cute, trying to eat his foot He looks so big in the first photo

 

Awww, he's almost all grown up!!!

 

Bailee taught Snickers a VERY important lesson today - how to look like a loser for the camera!

Son, it's quite easy, just sit and stare straight at the camera and make sure that both your eyes are visible!

Like this dad???

And then my little handsome guy just spent some time being cute.

He still likes eating his footsies, hehe.

And here are some photos of Snickers getting used to the flight suit. I don't use it on any of my guys so far cause they hate having it on, so i'm seeing if i can get Snickers used to it young. He's still got some growing to do before it fits.

You can see his missing toenail on that last photo (on the back toe), he's never had that, not even when he was just hatched!

 

He still likes eating his footsies, hehe.

I love this picture it reminds me of Finnegan he is always eating his little stumpy footsies I thought he would grow out of it but he is still doing it at 5 1/2 months :lol:

 

For the first time since Cookie laid her eggs i had all the fids out in the lounge room. Little Snickers on my arm with some birdy bread to nibble, Bailee flying back and forth between Cookie and me, Gracie with dad, and Cookie waving her butt at the budgies .... poor Bailee is 4th best when there are 3 handsome budgie boys to flirt with!! LOL!!
