Guest Julie Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I can imagine! It could get very crowded at our place! Julie Link to comment
Guest TorPeteO Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 That is such a cute little guy...too bad about the father and the others, though. Hopefully the 'little guy' keeps going as well as he is, it would be nice to know his father's legacy lived on. Maybe you should call him 'Junior', to honour his father who died while raising the little birdie. Great pictures, good lukc with your birds! TorPeteO Link to comment
Guest Birdy Boo Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi everyone! Its been really busy lately, but I can finally update on Little Man. He's grown so much but he's still just small! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Yen...leManandMom.jpg him and his mom http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Yene/BigMan2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Yene/BigMan.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Yen...littleman08.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Yen...littleman07.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Yen...littleman06.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Yene/LittleMan01.jpg Its funny seeing him now and all these pictures in comparison. I'm going to get new pictures soon since he still has grown bigger. I do call him Little Pengy from time to time since that was his father's name. Hes gotten so tame! He doesn't mind being held, being pet, and he LOVEs to get his head scratched. All just from handling him. I did have to feed him one day because his mother stopped feeding him. Link to comment
Guest Julie Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Oh my goodness he is soooo sweet! And him and mum together-gorgeous. Julie Link to comment
Guest Birdy Boo Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been back in a long long time. I started college recenty and I'm trying to maintain two jobs, so I've been kept on my toes a lot. Anyway, Little Man turns out to be a female. She's still a smal bird, but she lives with the others now. What I'm starting to wonder is why she started to hate me! I played with her everyday and she used to allow me to scratch her head and neck. Sometimes, she'd get so comfortable in the folds of my clothes that she'd tuck in her feet and sleep on her belly. But one day, she started to fear me. Now she doesn't even want me touching her. I guess she realized she's a bird. Probably also has to do witht he fact that she's a docile female. I'll have more pictures soon. Link to comment

Guest NewBird Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi all, this is my first post so I am hoping this is the right thread for my questions. I have 3 birds (6 actually including the babies). My hen layed 5 eggs, of which 3 hatched, these are now 4 1/2 to 5 weeks old, all are doing well. I removed the two eggs that didn't hatch about a week ago when I cleaned out their box but I noticed yesterday there is a new egg there and today there is another one As this is my hens first batch I am concerned that laying a second lot so soon maybe a bit much for her. I did not want to breed anymore for at least 6 months, but as the babies still use the breeding box I don't want to remove it. Any suggestions? Link to comment

To answer your question, your birds will start a new clutch when the babies begin to fledge. It is a normal occurrance. Link to comment
