Baby tiel hatching way ahead of schedule!

[MikeyTN]

Whenever someone comes to pickup their new baby I always tell them about our site and please do come and visit!!! So far I haven't seen or heard anyone that got a baby from me coming in here??? Unless I talked too much giving them Cockatiel 101 read out the whole time they're here....lol.....

Michael, I bet whoever gets this sweet baby may come here since they could literally see him as he grew every day! You can tell them he already has a fan following here

 

[MikeyTN]

Oh absolutely since he is being documented since the day he hatched on here. Right now he won't stop flying to my phone when I'm trying to take his picture then fly to my head from the phone. Still being handfed right now....They're being reluctant to eat on their own, he and his brother. Rest of the flock are all weaned now.

Awww. That is SO cute!!
You can charge extra now since this one has this thread following growth from day one and a fan club.

Ooh, I really like this over-the-shoulder pose.

 

[MikeyTN]

It's not easy to take his picture anymore as he won't stay off my head. He likes to fly on my head constantly.

 

[Terry57]

He loves you Michael

I have no idea what cockatiels are like, so... what kinds of chirps does the baby make? Does it whistle?

Right now just constant cries for me to hand feed. I just moved them into another cage cause they're not learning how to eat in the cage they're in. So I moved them into a cage where I have better luck training babies to eat on their own. Plus there's older siblings within to teach them. Monkey see monkey do.....

46 Days Old!

 

[Terry57]

He has turned into quite the little man

 

[MikeyTN]

He's weaned now! Except his brother who is still not weaned. They're two days apart....

 

[Terry57]

OH NO!!! Are you sure he's weaned? I think he could use another month or so of feeding, Michael

 

[Birdbrain91]

Like you said "monkey see monkey do" you have to keep him around to help his brother get weaned.

How hard will your partner wack you WHEN you keep him

 

[MikeyTN]

I just checked his crop tonight Terry, he is 100% weaned....still feeding his brother whose 2 days older then him....They're a bit messy right now from the pictures due to them making each other vomit....ugh.....

Birdbrain, I would be whacked for good.....we've been making compromises so I must keep my end of the bargain IF I were to keep any of my existing birds....lol....Even with monkey see monkey do, that one baby that I had to feed for 6 months had other siblings with him that was eating fine on their own. But yes it usually does the trick....
