[CocosMomma]

OH, beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wub: And I love the names!:D

[scotty]

There beautiful Tiels luisa, maybe someone can teach you how to feed the babies if the parents don't:(

[luisa]

Thanks you, I nerever thought names were going to like so much.
I think I have some idea about how feed them, my rearly problem is time, but If it's necesary I'm going to try, A friend of mine want a cockatiel handfeeded and also my mother has talked me several times she likes a green parrot (she wants one that can talk but she is afraid about bites, so I thouth is a good idea to give she a male (because they sing a lot cometimes) and cockatiels like's men compaions)
(did I explained mysef?)
I also memeber of a web called ANIMALITOSWEB there I learned a lot.

[luisa]

We have the first one,:dance: before 8 am I saw it, it wasn't eat. When I arrived from school I saw again and its looked with few food in stomach, later at 12 it had more food in stomach, so I think I won't have to hand feed them:emot-danc.

Awwwwww look how cute and tiny :wub:

[gary&chloe]

That is absolutely amazing. Look at that little thing. THAT is a miracle.

[Shirley]

It looks VERY healthy! If it has food in its crop, they you know she's feeding them! Once they are all hatched and about 4 days old, put some chopped hard-boiled egg in there, shell mixed in as well, for her to feed, along with her regular seed and other foods.

Congratulations!!!! :dance: :heart:

One little one died, today.I don't know why. He had still somefood in the craw. And also he had neck and head red (purple) it makes me think was died by trample or respiratory problem, all the others are with beaks up.

May be if I find an other in same conditions I'll have to separate from parents...:confused::shrug2:

[luisa]

Each day I see more size diference between the last one oand the other three, all four have full craw What do you think I can do?

[luisa]

Today I made some photos and also decided to handrise the smaller you will see the diference.

I almost forgot to talk yu this
Today I found both lutinas (white) with little crustson head.

Pavarotti had been some days singing and getting in nest and cntinue singing. So I guest they want to begin another clutch.

My only way is hadrise all babys?

Can I only take off one parent and so the other continues feeding little ones?.

There is another thing I want o do: make a lutino pair and a pear pair (with the new one) but a lot of people had talked to me it won't work, they won't goint to related each other (I talked it in a rigth way?)

[Shirley]

If the male is picking at the babies, then take him away and separate him. The mother can raise them by herself. OR, you can raise them all by yourself if you have time. You cannot leave him with the babies if he's picking at their feathers.

Good Luck!

[luisa]

Somebody talked me that we don't know wich paren is picking feaders. And I rearlly prefer only take one parent and help the other one because there are days in the week I'm very busy.

[Shirley]

It's usually if not always the male. The female can usually care for them by herself. :)

[luisa]

Here you have photos from today

[luisa]

Bad news, today I saw parents joining of two things together (you say in this way? wew only say copulando)
Thats mean I will to handfeed all four as soon as posible if I don't want parent do somethig else taht take out feathers..

[Shirley]

In other words, you saw them mating, or breeding. And so rather than have the male feather-pick the babies or pluck feathers from the babies, you are going to hand-feed them. :wub: Sounds like a good plan. Either that, or take the male out and away from the sight of the female. Most people just hand-raise the babies.

[luisa]

:D A little question... how many days do I have before parents atack their kids?

[luisa]

On friday I'm going to finish handraising, (I gave one, the second one) but the other two bigger only eat not more than 5 cc. The little one still eats a lot two times a day but on friday she is going to have 45 days, and also I'm going to spend weekend in beach (Veracruz is anybody knws it:rotflmao:) and I don't have anybody that can take care of her.
