Meet the Babies

[gracebowen]

The one with pink eyes was hatched thursday. The one with black eyes hatched Saturday.

How do they look to you? Are the eyes supposed to be black like that?

The other ones eyes were a lighter version of dark but turned pink in 2 days.

So very cute! In an alien sort of way!

 

[gracebowen]

Thank you.

 

[Dopey]

Yea!!! Congratulations! They are cute in an ugly sort of way.

 

[gracebowen]

Thank you. They are even bigger now. Jet eats much more veggies now. He even screams for veggies and rice. One thing I really learned real quick is the parents eat a whole lot more now.

Its one thing to read about it and another to experience it.

Baby 1 eyes are starting to open.

 

[Flboy]

It is mind blowing how quickly they develop, and how all the parts and pieces just seem to know what to do!

I don't know a thing about raising babies, but the red eyed one is a different mutation than the dark eyed. Lutino would be my guess since the other red eyed mutations in tiels are rare I believe.

 

[SilverSage]

What mutation s are the parents? Julie is correctthat the redeyesi dicate a different mutation.

 

[gracebowen]

Dad is grey split to pied. Mom is pied. I also see some brownish feathers so I think a hint of cinnamon. I was wondering what all else they are too.

I didn't realize Jet had some pied till I started looking. I started a thread for ea parent asking what y all could tell from the pictures.

 

[RavensGryf]

Doesn't "split" mean what mutation genetics they carry which aren't visually expressed?

 

[gracebowen]

I don't really know. I'm trying to figure it all out. I know that the white patch on his neck means he has some pied in him. There's also a yellow patch on his wings where the white is. And a few yellow feathers scattered about his chest and legs

Just looked again. According to beauty of birds he's split to pied.

The babies had eggs for breakfast. Jet ate a good amount and then went and fed some to the babies.

[SilverSage]

Looks like you have a little lutino girl on your hands meaning dad is also split ino. And the other is a pied so cute!

 

[MonicaMc]

The chicks are looking pretty healthy!

The red eyed is most likely a lutino female and the other, as mentioned, looks like a pied baby! Possibly a light pied, but pied none-the-less! (agrees with SilverSage)

 

[gracebowen]

Thank you both.
