hope it works

[mitch2006]

it did great
i'll update regulary

[mitch2006]

also i was wondering
if anyone would be able to tell if Cloud is only pied as i was told or could he be ?lutino/pied/pearl combo?
if pics are hard to tell i could take more
also i'll post a better closeup of Nana.. is she lutino as i was told or a clear pied or both combined?
what would babies be then?as i said if better or closeup are needed i can retake some more

[SandraK]

I'd say that Nan is a lutino but couldn't tell you about Cloud. They make a very handsome pair. Can't tell you about the babies either but they're sooo cute! Congrats!

[mitch2006]

Nana is lutino she has red eyes...when light is shined on them.
Cloud i was told pied...but he has white spots on back and is developing more yellow down his belly and also moving down back of his neck.
any ideas on Cloud?

[angel226]

I would say cloud is a pied. However in saying that he could be split for pearl, luntino, and cinnamon. If you have any Luntino babies they could be male or female. Pearl or Cinnamon chicks would be hens as far as I know.

Did you get the warm oatmeal feeling when you picked up Ruby & Squall? It was the closest description I could give to how it felt. The babies are adorable and one is looking like a lutino but then I'm biased and don't know everything there is to know about tiels. Your family looks like it is doing well. Something about the creation of life is just a wonder isn't it? (Don't mean to get sappy on you but bird babies are soo tiny and fragile)

[mitch2006]

i made some new pictures

[SandraK]

They are getting soo big! You've got the mohawk stage going there. lol

[mitch2006]

ty Sandra
yes they are growing SO FAST!!
Squall even has the tips of his wings with real feathers starting to grow out of pin feathers shaft
Ruby is just starting,but has pin feathers
soon they will be feathered babies
this has been an amazing experience having these babies

[SandraK]

Then you'll have to prepare yourself for the "leaps of faith" when your babies start flying. They'll follow mom & dad and will be watched over very carefully. I have a big sappy smile on my face ....

[SandraK]

itch, I haven't seen any posts from you for a while - how are the kids doing? By now you are probably going through the "leaps of faith" or getting pretty close to it.

[mitch2006]

thank you all who have or will be following us

[mitch2006]

another quick couple of questions..
when babies start to fly,and are fully feathered, can they be moved into a cage?
i thought you could.
also do they also need water on cage floor or is water in formula enough water for them?
ill be placing food in bowl on cage floor but was wondering about water supplied.
thanks

[mitch2006]

Surprise Nana laid another egg mar 2/11
here we go again more babies in 21 days they started sitting on it constantly today.
Squall and Ruby love their new cage now they can see everyone in the room

[SandraK]

I'm glad Ruby and Squall are doing so well - usually the babies are pretty independent once they have their feathers and can fly. Honestly can't answer your question about water in their cage since mine were parent fed but I'd imagine that a small bowl of water wouldn't do any harm.

And yes, tiels can be quite prolific once they get the hang of "it".

[boomer girl]

I love the picture above of Squall or Ruby with there little bibs on them, it is one of the most precious pictures I have seen in a long time. I have not been looking at the pictures because my internet has been stinking with all the storms we have lately so today is the first time i have been able to look at them and your babies are too cute. Just so bright and yellow and they seem to be so happy too. Thanks for posting the pics of your cuties!

[mitch2006]

thank you Sandra and Boomer girl
I try to keep them as updated as possible to show how they grow i've taken pictures at different ages so people new to breeding like i was.
have an idea of how they should look,hope that also helps.and it easy taking pics of the lil cuties
