Good morning! When I logged out here it last night was almost 9pm. Looks like your 3 hours behind us EST.

Ugh back to work this morning *whining* :(

They look great!
Do you offer bath water? It will help keep up the humidity.

Yep they get fresh bath water every morning, but they are dirty birds. Ive only seen them bath twice.

Ive offered it on the cage wall and the bottom of the cage.

Gouldian baby skin definitely feels tougher than societies. And they are getting nicely dark. Humidity inside the house is about 45% here.
We've a lot of rain.

Now, now.... no whining allowed. It should be almost coffee break time for you .

How old are baby squeekers today? Should be seeing feathers soon.
Remember to put little colour bands on them (at around twelve days) so you'll remember who belongs to what clutch and which parents. Otherwise once they grow up (unless they're all diff colours), you won't know who is who :-). Also It's good to keep a written record of dates, parents, number of eggs, clutches, and so on.

How are the others doing (any news yet) ?

When are your babies scheduled to fledge? I seem to recall they are a few days behind mine...

Wait till they fledge, and start screaming/begging. They are so incredibly c...... aww , don't want to spoil it for you. Let me just say, that you won't get any work done for a little while :-D.
