Loved their 1st day out on the patio.
These babies are all getting a healthy appetite to eat by themselves. Have them on fruit and veg as well as the Animalzone pellets and cereal. Food is fun!

Nearly ready for new homes! The little ones are weaning well.
Funny story - I was cleaning their cage earlier. I had babies on my back and climbing on the cage. When done, I did the headcount - 3 - where is number 4? I looked round and there was Emma, my german shepherd, walking off with a baby perched on her back. So sweet...

Yesterday was wing and nail clip day with Dylan the Glencairn "bird" vet. He just clips the flight feathers leaving 2 long ones to break a fall when need be. They then glide to the ground as opposed to crash!
Its the 1st time I've had birds nails clipped. Decided to do it as they were very sharp. When they got home, they were slipping off the perches - so I've put thinner sticks in and apparently this sorts itself in a day or 2.
They're now enjoying some papino in their breakfast bowls.

Learning to play! This is a very lively bunch. Started the weaning - the elder 2 are taking to it quicker than the youngsters - but every day we move forward.
At night I still let them sleep in their nest - daytime in the cage. The last pic is of big sister Isis (3yrs) visiting. She loves little babies!

The eldest - so graceful. And trying to explore and climb. Steven - your little one (on own and on left in 2nd pic).

Just starting to nibble some food. I still need to feed them as they slowly shift to eat on their own.
I have one little guy still available for a new home - if anyone is looking. Email me on [email protected].
