Thank you for all the info Dylan. Your babies are so precious. What a cute bunch! My Sammy and Lola get along well but don't seem to be more than "friends". I'm not sure if or when that will change. I'll just let things go as they have been since they seem to be very content.

I let them out a few times a week to free fly and help them stay in shape. They will come to me, especially Sammy, who will fly to me and stay on my shoulder as long as I'll let him. Lola on the other hand loves to free fly and is like a "bullet" when flying around the room. She will land near me but not one to land on me. I will post photos when I get a minute but their colors are very similar to yours.

Thanks again and best of luck with those cute babies!!!

Look at Abby, (sporting her yellow feathers so proudly), and tiny Pokey being fed.
They really are looking amazing Dylan, all sweet and plump and full of pin feathers (like baby hedge hogs).

Well I don't have experience with linnies, but parrotlets are biters!
My sweet, dear little cockatiels have never bitten anybody.. :P

Linnies, are sweet darlings if raised from babies.

Parrotlets, are fiesty little tiny versions of the great Amazons, and think they're BIG.
I think if raised from babies, one might have good luck with keeping them tame (however, who knows).

Don't tempt me with your sweet babies Dylan [-X , and they truly are sweet looking infants :D Sigh....

Abby and Patches are up front, their parents behind, and Jade in the very back of the group shot. She's slowly taming down and will step up just as of today.

OK, now I see it!
I wasn't sure, if your Jade was one of the babies all grown up over night, or a different bird

That's grand news, about Jade stepping up. She is a very pretty bird.
How is her reaction to these babies?

Jade is very nice to the babies, and when they were smaller, she would sit with them and gently preen their pinfeathers.

What a darling bird.
Is she fated to raise a family of her own at some time?
