Baby tiel hatching way ahead of schedule!

[Terry57]

OH, look at his little crest on his head!!! And he looks so alert, wonder if he is wondering when I am coming to get him...

 

[MikeyTN]

He's pretty much out of the weird stage and start to grow in his feathers now.

EEEE!!!! Look at his teeny tiny crest!!! So cute!!

 

[Terry57]

Are his feathers yellow, Michael?

 

[MikeyTN]

Those are his baby down feathers that's yellow. I believe it's gonna be a grey boy. It's looking more and more grey to me unless the pearl pops up....

His crest is so tiny and cute

 

[MikeyTN]

I handfed him for the first time tonight now he's 2 weeks old. He's done quite well so far. Time to take down all the nest boxes and give them a good scrub. I think it would be a cage scrubbing day tomorrow on my new driveway....

Michael, I don't know how it's possible that he gets cuter every single day, but he does
He is taking up so much more of your hand now!

 

[MikeyTN]

He's sooooo laid back and moving about my hands like he owns my hand. Getting harder to take his picture on my hand. I just handfed him again and he did good.

 

[Terry57]

I want that little guy so badly that I can't stand it

 

[MikeyTN]

He's super adorable! But I can't keep more as my partner would whack me if I keep more....lol

 

[Terry57]

Ah, come on, what's a little whack?lolol
Or did you mean the BIG whack?

Quite remarkable how he's changed in only 2 days. He's looking FANTASTIC, Michael!
