Well, with Henry gone now to live with Bruiser (the egg layer), perhaps it'll give little Igor some company??...

Yes, it is a record...in the past they might try to raise two, but sadly one usually dies....this time around, after a sabbatical, they currently have two healthy, and lively ones...and now a third......Jan upped the number of food dishes available and that might be why all is going well....??

Well folks, there are still three....the youngest has most his little feathers now and is battling his older siblings for food.....things just got really interesting around here.....LOL
That's awesome! Good luck with them.

She needs company.... ;D
He doesn't, he's a old man. He's been the only bird in there for the past ten years. Not too sure how he would like a new friend.

maybe a little sweetheart would do the old boy good ??... w!w
Maybe, I'll have to discuss it with Michelle.
Sadly, we lost one of the babies this morn'n.....odd...it was the first hatched and the largest....they must have quit feeding it because the gullet was empty..
We'll watch closely now to see if the others need to be pulled early....
Sorry you lost one of them. Hopefully the other two will carry on for him/her.

What's odd is that it was the oldest one, hatched out about a week before the other two......but even then, this is the most fertile batch of eggs so far...and they are an older couple..

When I had birds (Budgies a long time ago) they used to always seemed to get pneumonia. I like them a lot. Maybe now that I have more time to care for them properly I'll get one. I'll see what you have when I come up for NADA. I'll be driving in case I have to bring back some fish too. |^| |^| |^|

+1..... w!w
...Jan pulled the last two babies last night....seems they haven't been feeding them recently even tho they were sitting on them keeping them warm....so Jan's feeding them every 3-4 hrs...looks like they'll be ok...
This has happened before...Shrek and Fiona want to continue mating and laying eggs, but ignoring their current brood in the process...I really thought they had it right this time with the three survivors....but when they starved the oldest, it was apparent that they didn't...

Good move pulling them. I guess they are like some Angel pairs.
