ππ¦ Itβs Feathered Friends Friday, my lovely birdie fam! π¦π
Today I wanted to share a little update on what our gorgeous cockatiels Charlie and Chadwick have been up to lately π¦π¦ After taking a nice little break from nesting, Charlie surprised us by laying four eggs, and we've been eagerly calculating exactly when the sweet little babies should have started hatching π£ποΈ
We went to check on the nest today, but sadly found that in all their eagerness to be parents, all four eggs are clear. It really sucks for them to have gone through the whole dedicated process of sitting and caring for the clutch only to not have anything hatch from it this time around π₯π₯π₯π₯
But if you know cockatiels, you know just how resilient and determined they can be π₯° They certainly aren't discouraged and are already keen to try again, as soon as we cleaned out and completely refreshed their nest box today, they both rushed right back inside to inspect it and start planning their next round β¨ Breeding always comes with its ups and downs, but watching their dedicated partnership and strong parental instincts is always so beautiful to see π§‘π
πΈ I'd love to see your feathered friends too!
