....wheeeeeeeeeee......there's one hatched now ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Jan got up early this AM to the small sound of the first chick. Tickled?....you betcha!
should be others hatching every other day... ;D
Let the fun begin. It is awesome just watching how fast they grow.
We're excited. While Jan has raised birds before, this is the first time with both the cockatiels and parrotlets......Winston and Helen are showing progress in getting the mating thing down right too. He's changed positions ;D.....is there a Kama Sutra for birds??? ;D ;D
When Patty and I had the Cockatiels she had a hard time letting me sell them. She said they were just to cute.
