My latest baby cockatiel

Recommended Posts

Hi Emmy,

I really enjoyed watching the videos of cuddles and he\she looked content cuddled up in your hand in the second clip.

Please keep us updated and I hope everything goes well in the coming weeks.

Gary.

An update on the chick I'm hand rearing:

'Cuddles' is going longer between feeds and I'm now feeding it using a syringe  

All heating has been switched off in the brooder and the layout inside the brooder is changed too. This is to allow the chick to move about freely- so it can use its legs properly.

(I'll be taking a photograph of the new layout tomorrow)

It still likes to get petted after its been fed

"Can I have some more please" (should have named it Oliver-after Oliver Twist:D)

- this is going to be one spoiled chick.

This is the new layout I have for Cuddles-- no heating,

large bird bath (no water in bath) fleece on the bottom covered with paper.

It can now go in and out of the 'bath' area and goes in there to sleep with the little teddy

Maybe just coincidence but it always comes out when it needs 'the toilet' (lol) so the bed area is always clean.  (Wish they were all like that - but I guess that will change)

Use a wire grid on top for safety and it lets air in

My oh my :o I imagine it would be hard work to hand feed them, i watched my tiel grow over two years ago but it was parent raised. Thinking of handfeeding tiels myself or at least learning how to.

How time flies-- and Cuddles is flying now too --from a perch and from the floor onto my hand (and my head) guess he needs a bit more practice at landing ;) 

Post some new photos soon with him and his new toy (:lol:)
