Hi everyone,
I'm Jake's mom, Amber.
I wanted thank you all for the support and well wishes he has gotten from you. We were a lot worried, at times, for his well being. We have hand fed babies two to three months old, but never from hatch day. Jake's daddy, Baebe, was one of them.
Jake's parents, (Baebe, a Catalina, and Zoie, a Blue and Gold) are at Noah's Ark now. A blessing in itself. They are able to stay together and fly free, conditions not withstanding these wonderful beings mate for life.'
Before they left they decided on their own to breed. They hatched four chicks, the last of which was Jake. Being new parents and not knowing how to feed their young properly, three chicks made it three days, then expired. My heart had no other choice than to pull Jake the day he hatched.
Your support and encouragement has meant so much to us during the 24/7 two hour feedings, we're up to every four hour feedings now and you can see his progress.

[email protected] was a grand help with nutrition for Jake's sustenance and growth. Many thanks to his kind guidance and helpful knowledge.
We had other input, some of it helpful, then again, some of it very hurtful as one person pronounced Jake's eminant death or blindness while on a soap box against hybrids. We have never bred any of our personal babies or any of our saves (approx 17)
I just wanted to thank you all personally for keeping up with our baby Jake and wish all the goodness back that you have wished for him.
We know he is special, obviously the Universe decided he is a keeper.
Sincerely,
Jake's human mom, Amber.
