lovezebs He begs any time he senses movement, and even when he's full to bursting, the little greedster!
I still don't want to get my hopes up.

ReTweet seems to have had a growth spurt overnight! He's doing good.

So happy to hear that.
Once they start growing, they grow like wild weeds. You can actually see the growth rate every day as you watch them, it's quite amazing.

Re: Scandal!! Genetic and handfeeding questions
So I got up in the night to feed the baby, and what did I see by my faintly glowing monitor light!?
''Gee scrambles, what are you doing out of bed? And Vilu too?? OH!!!
He tried to fly to the top of the cage and play innocent but I CAUGHT THEM
I caught the parents of ReTweet meeting in SECRET at almost 1 am while their loving and faithful partners were sleeping!
Just look at these guilty, naughty birdies! HAVING AN AFFAIR!

SSHAAAMMMMEEEEE

Although they would have to be good acrobats, it is not unheard of, and may explain ReTweets um... er.... unusual colours

lovezebs He was actually inside the cage, and guiltily flew out while Heta snapped a picture, lol. Guess I won't be leaving the cage door open.

Re: Scandal!! Genetic and handfeeding questions
lovezebs Nope, I've been locking her in the cage every night since then. Hiro and Scrambles seem to suddenly hate each other more than ever, can't imagine why...

Re: Scandal!! Genetic and handfeeding questions
lovezebs I have considered, but Hiro is extremely opposed, and Vilu chases Scrambles away when he's looking as well.
I've switched them before, and all four birds were just really upset, screaming and trying to get to their mates.

Ok, got you.
I wish one of these pairs, would get their act together, and present you with a nice fuzzy batch of healthy infants (that they would raise to maturity ).
