I havent been active for the past week!

Sorry - I havent been active or talking or posting . I was given a 1 day old cockatiel whos nestmates all passed away. This baby was the last to hatch. SOOOO.... as you can imagine I have been up every 2 hours feeding, cleaning nest, and cuddling this baby who cries until I pick him up. I am not sure why all the nest mates died and neither is the owner. Anyway I have been busy with a labor of love. I am an elderly lady who hasnt lost sleep in years!!! LOL...Plus I am busy with the lovebirds , the 2 new grown cockatiels and my sweet boy StanLee ! I just wanted to post a few pics of "Angel Baby" - He is sleeping in a 10gallon tank with a heat pad for birds in winter! It worked perfectly!

Oh @Niteldy, on the contrary, it seems you have been VERY active indeed for the past week!! Bless you and that precious little Angel Baby, that little sweetheart could not have landed in a better place than with you!!

It’s so exciting to have baby birds in your home and since you are his “mom” it must be even more exciting. But isn’t Stan Lee upset? When I babysat young birds my Lucy got insecure.

Ok here is where it gets really really weird! StanLee has been extremely hormonal this past month- so much so I couldnt even look at him that he didnt start the "rubbing" against me or my chair or whatever was nearby! Now when the baby came i was holding it in my hands and said heres our little bitty baby Stannie boy. He looked the baby over ( safely in my hands)and immediately tried to start feeding it !!!!!!! I was stunned! So everytime I feed Angel baby, I make sure to have StanLee on my shoulder! Hahahah NOW, he hasnt been hormonal since the baby came to the house! My Alexandrine needs a psychiatrist! Funnier still StanLee screams his head off if anyone comes into the room the babys in! Like a security alarm LOL. I have a crazy bird. He owns me not visa versa!!And that is just fine- he had a rough life. I just want to make it better now.

Hand feeding a helpless hatchling is truly an amazing experience!
