Tamara and I are having such a blast raising these little guys; and Sierra (BeBe and Evee's bird momma) thinks that all the babies are hers! I wanted to show all of you our little bundles of delight. I thought this post would put a smile on your faces and brighten some of y'all's stressful day.
1. 8 week old Creamino named Sunny (the true "King of the Babies!"
He is big and beautiful for a Peach-face; he thinks he is a big bird
now and he prefers to hang out with the adults like
Dewey and Sierra than the other babies;
although his partner in crime is his sister Luna.)
2. 7 week old Dutch Blue named Luna (This girl is Evee Jr.! She
adores people and the company of other birds as long as they know
she is the boss. Her favorite pass time is giving, "Sugar Kisses!")
3. 7 week old Creamino named Star (beautiful and loving;
probably our most personal baby: reminds us a little of Angel.)
4. 6 week old Medium (1 dark factor) Dutch Blue named Love
(Love and Joy are our very first babies from our new pair: Cody and Mia.
Love might be the most perfect, beautiful, sweet baby we have ever had.
I have a soft spot for this baby; he just brings so much joy to my heart.)
5. 6 week old Female Creamino with a dark factor named Joy
(extremely loving and loves to be with people all the time; she gets
excited every time she sees anybody.)
6. 5 week old Female Lutino named Sunshine (some people would
say our most beautiful baby: bright yellow with a red face and red
tail: very sweet and the ring leader of her clutch.)
7. 5 week old Heavy Green Pied named Rainbow (others would say
Rainbow is our most beautiful baby; awesome markings and colors: the
first to fly in his clutch; very smart and loves to be the center of
attention.)
8. 5 week old Normal Green named Sky (very sweet, cuddly, and
mellow for a lovebird; acts more like a Meyer's Parrot or a Pionus
than a lovebird.)
9. 5 week old Green Pied named Apple (the oldest in the "Fruity
Babies", he flies on command really well and is a great influence and
teacher to his younger siblings.)
Cherry and Apple
10. 5 week old Green Pied named Cherry (looks like Apple, but
with more red than yellow on the forehead; Cherry is the first one
who always wants to come out of his cage for play time.)
11. 5 week old Normal Green named Blueberry (Blueberry is known
as the "Crazy One" at the elementary school that I work at. Very
sweet and is the first one to always try new things such as stepping-
up, jumping out of the brooder, or flying to Daddy and Mommy.)
Blueberry in center
12. 4 week old Green Pied named Coconut (Coconut is everyone's
favorite out of the "Fruity Babies", Coconut is the lovebird who
everyone wants to take home because he loves to fall asleep in the
palms of people's hands. Very sweet and personal baby. Coconut is the
only pied that has white flight feathers.)
13. 4 week old Normal Green named Mango (what else can I say
about the youngest baby, everyone loves the baby and Mango loves
everyone in return. He was stepping-up even at the tender age of two
weeks old!)
