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:

I have egg and biscuit mix ready if i have to just top a baby up, and it would also hold me over until the soonest time i could get actual rearing mix. :) I don't like to buy rearing mix unless i actually need it because it's expensive and it's not something i use normally.

I haven't seen Cookie out of the nest box so i can't say if egg #4 is here or on the way yet. :)

***EDIT***

Ignore that, i just heard Cookie screaming for me to come out for a cuddle and egg #4 is here. Bailee's on egg watch while Cookie is out for her break.

Congrats! Wonder how many more she will lay. If your anything like me your going to die when hatch days come close. I'm very tired from lack of sleep. After school today i actually had to go lie down in my nice warm room for a nap which is not like me at all. I'm just so excited because tomorrow is the day #1 should hatch if not then on the 21Th with any luck. It's almost impossible to sleep knowing bubs are on the way. I bet once they hatch i'll sleep like a rock haha.

Good luck bea. Hope their little eggies hatch and you get some beautiful babies to show off.
