Peep peep.... there's a new baby!!

Thanks Ronda, yes- they are cute little angels. We don't know the sex yet and probably won't- it seems like most breeders leave it up to the new owners to DNA sex if they want to or not so we'll probably just do that.
I have to watch Lyric on my shoulder too. If my hair isn't covering up my ears he can't resist- if I have earrings on WATCH OUT! He can't resist jewelry at all.
I really wish you were wanting another Timneh! It would be great to meet you in person- that would be way cool!

OH MY how cute!!! I often wonder how different it would have been if I had gotten a baby about this age instead of when I got sweetheart at her 6 months old. But I am stuck with the little booger, she's moody just like her mama lol. Got my first good bite on my ear the other day! But still love her, just shying away from the shoulder at the moment lol. I think she was just seeing what it was lol. As soon as I yelled she let go right away lol.

But they are cuties Jen. Do you know if they are boys or girls yet?

Here's an updated photo taken just last night! It is amazing how fast they grow up. They are all totally weaned now, in a big cage and perching. They made lots of little noises to me and didn't hesitate to come to me or seem nervous despite the fact that they don't really know me. It really made me want to bring them both home to cuddle with me!

OMG Jen I want one!!! Write me and tell me where you are and how much you are selling them for!

Okay guys, I finally got a chance to see my little babies- they are not so little anymore. My friend has done a great job with them and they are very friendly and big and healthy. Here's a picture I took- it was hard to get a picture because they were moving around so much!

lol glad to see you got the hang of it! Love the pic of little Lyric!!

Hi guys! I have to work on getting a decent picture of them. I took one last week but they were still too little to hold their heads up so it's just a picture of the biggest one's back, he was sitting on the little one. I try not to bother momma Akasha too much though. They are getting bigger every day. They are a little over a week old now and already tripled in size. It's just amazing how fast they grow. Just watching them day by day is like seeing Mother Nature at work. OK- I know you all like pictures- here's a picture of Lyric on the first day that I took him from his nestbox. He is sitting next to the eggs that didn't hatch so you can see an idea of how much they grow in the first three weeks. He was 20 days old here.
I finally got the hang of posting a picture here! About time, huh?

Any pics Jennifer???? Would love to see the babies!

Elmo will never be a breeder. I took her into work with me the other day and put her down next to the 3 baby greys we have. Most Greys check out babies and most of the time try to feed them or preen them, but Elmo just turned around and put her foot up for me to pick her up . If I ever want the pitter flaps of baby greys around I'll have to get two new greys. Thats fine with me though...if I breed parrots I want to breed Palms .

Lyric, how are the babies doing? Can't wait to hear their progress. That must be so exciting! Have a great day!

Oh wow...that must be so cool!! I can't wait to see pictures. I wish I was in a position to breed. You're very lucky! Congrats

well congrats on the two lil ones, i too hope to see pics of them if i had my way i would own a million birds

There's two babies now! I'm so happy! Momma and daddy are doing such a good job caring for them too. I'm glad they are good parronts!

Thanks everyone! I'm very excited. I pulled Lyric at 3 weeks old and handfed him. This baby is going to a great friend of mine who is a stay-at-home mom and bird breeder. I plan to pull them at 3 weeks old again and then she will get the fun of handfeeding them, weaning, socializing and finding them good homes. I would do it myself but at this moment in time I'm just too busy to do it and I feel like it would take time away from Lyric and my other animals. If things settle down for me in the future then I'm sure I'll do it again... I just get so attached to them though, I could end up with a million birds and that would be sooo messy!

CONGRATS!

That is such good news!

Like Lovelylew asked, you should pull the babies in a few weeks to hand feed...I'm sure you already know that though!

BABIES!!! I love babies...I just got mine 3 weeks ago and I already want more! I can't take it....someone needs to commit me!

Lyric, congratulations! That must be so exciting. Will you pull the babies and hand-feed after a couple of weeks? That is just so cool.

Congratulations and you had better keep us posted

That is great News!!!! Keep us updated!! And pics when ever you get some!!

Hi everyone!! I heard a peep this morning from my grey's nestbox- Tarzan & Akasha have a new baby! 1 baby and 2 eggs so far. I'm so excited- this is Lyric's first baby brother/sister. He was the only chick in his clutch, the other 2 eggs laid with his didn't hatch. They had one more clutch of eggs that none hatched and now- success! I'm so excited- had to share with all of you.
