Wow! I don't know the history of the parents...the first clutch they had for me were all BC, and every other baby in this second clutch is BC except for this white one.

Hi Stacie,

Would love to see more pictures of all the babies and the parents, and little Snowflake as well, lol.

Finally got some pictures! There are SEVEN babies in this clutch, but I couldn't get them all in one picture. The white one looks prettier every day. They beg nonstop for food and the parents are exhausted I'm sure, but awesome. I bet they're ready for this brood to wean!

They are gorgeous, look at them all. That's quite the sizable clutch =D>

White mystery baby is very pretty indeed. Does he have a dark mark on his back, or is that just the lighting.

Did you ever figure out who snuck an odd egg into that nest?

I can't help but feel sorry for mom and dad, because as soon as they land at the bottom of the cage, they are surrounded with the loudest chirping those little bodies can produce :shock: And they're all competing to be fed first!

I'll double check, but I think his back is white and it's just the lighting. That little stinker has escaped multiple times when we open the door, and it's very smart!

Still not sure how we got a white one!
