Kit-Kat & Reese
Kit-Kat persuaded me to put her nest box back up as well. (She’s been tearing up paper like a shredder!)
I’m not really expecting any babies from these two right now, but, you never know!
Baby Indian Ringneck Girl went home yesterday!
🦜 I am officially baby-free for the first time since October 2023!
🦜 Not for long though! Nest boxes are going back up by the end of the month for our Fall breeding pairs. 🪹 ❤️

Day 1 of hand-feeding this little sweetie.
I took Reese and Kit-Kat’s baby from the nest today to start hand feeding. He/she is a little rockstar already! 🌟
Linnies Are Eating!
Try to ignore the Amazons in the background (they think when I take my phone out to record, that they should be the center of attention). 🤪
After quite a struggle, and having these two addicted to spray millet and hand-feeding formula… they have both (finally) accepted wet pellets! 🎉 (Lineolated Parakeets)

Baby Linnies
I had to take these two baby Linnies from Pico and Guac as they had decided they were done looking after babies for this season. Although they were both being fed…Mom and/or Dad was picking at them (you can see some wounds in the first few pictures), plucked out all of their down feathers, and were not keeping them warm at all in the nest box. When I checked on them 2 Sundays ago…one baby was on its back, shaking violently, and ICE cold.
I didn’t take many pictures at the beginning, because truthfully, I didn’t think either would live. 😔
Two weeks have passed since then, and I am so proud of these incredibly ugly, but so sweet baby birds! 🥰
IRN baby colours!
I don’t know how well this is going to show up on here, but it’s worth a try!
(Don’t mind the food everywhere! Feeding babies is harder than you would think!)

Babies!
Currently hand-feeding 9 babies. 3 different species. ❤️
If you guessed #2- Reese and KitKat, you were correct! 👏🏻
To my surprise, TWO babies hatched today! 🐣
Mama was out to stretch her wings (and poop all over my floor 😆) so I was able to grab this quick video. ❤️
