I like my birds alot. While I don't consider myself a rabbid animal lover, I'm still very glad to have them around me to bring me joy.

 

Well I just candled egg #1. I looked at it... I had to take it out of the nest afterall, as much as I tried, I can't candle any egg in there without taking them out. Well, like I said, I candled it... and I was seeing a little heart beating. I swear, this was a beautiful moment.

i can imagine that. That must have been a great feeling.

Congratulations, but be careful they are very delicate things [the eggs] you would be upset if you broke one…good luck.

It's okay, I'm done handling them. Just knowing that one is fertile is enough for me! Eeheeeee!

 

Anyway, it probably means that the rest probably is too. :sad: Or most of them.

Congrats to you!

I can't picture the feeling you must have. It must be great and congratulations.

Yes that is a wonderful moment, I remember the first time I saw on the ultrasound my son and daughter's heartbeat WOW it is a miracle.

Brilliant !! I will bet you are still wearing that GRIN aren't you

First time i saw that one of my budgies eggs was fertile i did a little happy dance on the spot. It's a great feeling.

It's great

 

I felt the same when I candled my first tiel egg. It's so cool how quicky everything goes with birds - you see a little heart beating, then you hear a quiet beeping and then a little later there is a new beautiful birdie . I just love them

That is a great feeling I remember doing a happy dance like Bea the first time I saw the veins then another round I saw the heart beat like you did. I named that bub Cupid.

I can imagine the feeling... Just like seeing my kids via ultra sound... Hope all goes well with your eggies and turn into beautiful healthy babies

Michelle, that is fantastic. Congratulations I can't wait to see what pops out.

 

 

Feathers.

Thanks guys!

 

It really makes you amazed at the wonder of life, as cheesy as it sounds. :hap: That something so tiny tiny will become a bigger bird... NICE.

 

I think that's the one I'll keep... I dunno what I'll name it yet.

Fantastic news!! How exciting for you. I did a happy dance as well for my first fertile egg. In fact all 6 fertile eggs...(Laughing out loud)

how exciting! congratulations!

Wow that must be and fantastic sight you all had.

 

Good luck on the eggs

When are you expecting them to hatch? Very exciting.

Well let's see. First egg was laid on the 24th, so... count up 18 days and such...

Oh, it's just fabulous!

 

I was so happy I took many piccies and jumped up and down and ran and told my parents (Laughing out loud). It's so nice to see the miracle of life... and to watch something grow from in an egg, to a baby, to a weaned bird, to an adult. Wow, its priceless!
