That's alot of work, so I am going to let mom and dad do it for as long as I can  As of last night, there were two babies hatched and 4 more eggs, yikes, what am I going to do with all these babies? At least they are tiny birds,lol. |
Oh, it is definitely a lot of work! I used to breed cockatiels. I gave it up when my total of birds was getting too high.
I found myself getting so attached..and then, many times people would bring them back. Just decided it was time to quit.
They are so adorable when they get attached to you...running to you like you are momma, squawking...something I must say I enjoyed for the time that I did it. My son is an huge animal lover and I swear it is partly due to handling those tiny baby birds when he was young. He helped me feed them and care for them.
Good luck with them! I will be looking forward to seeing pics of them as they grow up!
