Beautiful Ozzie is the dad of one of the current clutches.
He is a yellowsided greencheek, and takes his duties to protect very seriously

I encourage every exotic pet bird and parrot lover to join the American Federation of Aviculture (AFA) for educational purposes, conservation, legislation and our rights to keep pet birds. It's only $40.00 a year and $45.00 for a family.
Plus they have some cool goodies to shop for.

Mama Lilo has a huge brood patch on her chest.
Yes, the feathers will grow back with the next molt. It helped her to keep her eggs and chicks warmer.
Not all hens will have one when incubating, but a small portion will.

3 more to be pulled soon. But I'll leave them in Mama's care for a little while longer...

Nemesis and Nebula being cute and posing for photos for a change

Nemesis is amusing herself taking short jaunts from the top of the cage to me, and back again.
While she's on my shoulder, she tries to "fix" my glasses.

Baby greencheeks begging.
I love their little voices

Nova the tail-less wonder is finally growing her tail back.
And hopefully treat it a little better this time around.
This can sometimes happen with clumsy babies and their reckless abandon - they destroy their tail feathers on cage bars and other objects that get in the way of their play. And she still won't sit still for the few seconds it takes for photos.
She is in perpetual motion!

The American Federation of Aviculture now offers a registration of your bird for free through the breeder. So if your bird gets out and flies away, they can be traced back to you.
I use exclusively AFA bands for my conure babies.
So if you purchased a baby from me and would like to be registered as the new owner, please let me know and send me the pertinent info. Here is the link with details https://afabirds.org/2018_WordPress/store/AFA-Leg-band-FREE-Basic-Registration-For-Leg-band-Customers-Only-p232821596 #:~:text=Basic%20registration%20is%20for%20AFA%20leg%20band%20customers,register%20your%20bird%2C%20go%20to%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fafabirds.org%2F2018_WordPress%2Fexotic-bird-re...%20to%20register.

Nebula and Nemesis, my last available mooncheek babies.
Nebula is timid but sweet. But she follows the example of feisty Nemesis.
Both still wet from their bath, enjoying some out of cage time.

Some impressions of cheeky Nemo, who will now reside in Pittsburgh. I miss this mischievous little Imp.
His sister Nebula is still waiting on a home
