Video of my 3 baby cockatiels-learning to step up!

[crimson]

so here is a video of my 3 baby cockatiels.

the oldest one just turned 3 weeks today.
the littlest one is not even 2.5 weeks old.

I like to encourage my babies to step up at a really early age. Yes I could lift them out, but why fight with mother nature
they naturally want to get into my hand when I place it in front of them, it also teaches them that hands are friendly

it's just their co-ordination that needs to be perfected

considering they had been plucked and were dehydrated when I pulled them just 5 days ago, they are doing very well.

Awww, so cute. Thanks for sharing, and how interesting they are stepping up so early. Love their orange patches.

Those little guys are so cute! That one that was looking for his closeup was precious
I can't believe they step up that early!

I know Terry, people don't realize it at all.
usually around 3-4 weeks they attempt to try and perch. I don't force them to do anything early but I do encourage it. It never ceases to amaze me what they can do at their age.

the little baby is already climbing up onto the stuffies that I have in the brooder,so he can climb nice & high to get out first, ha ha.....just too darn cute if you ask me.

That is the cutest thing ever. I would do anything to have a clutch of cute, baby cockatiels like that!
