Percy and Phoebe in the house!

Our babies perched for the first time!

Just after their evening feeding, I tried to get Phoebe to perch on my finger. She did so after a few seconds. It took Percy a while to do to the same. No matter, they're both stars in my book.

On top of that, I also caught Phoebe bathing in the water dish like a proper bird. It's just so cool!

Phoebe and Percy

There's a video of Phoebe and Percy when they were 20 and 18 days old, respectively. Now, they're more than 5 weeks old and they look super. It's so nice to see how they changed from this:

to this:

The pointers we got from True Love Aviary really helped.

And then there were 3

Happy hatchday to the latest addition to the family! Now there are 3 of them. They kind of look like adorable naked molerats, don't they?

We're thinking of names for all of them. Maybe they can all start with "P" like Percy, Pippin, Petey, etc. We're all really psyched about this.

We're ready with the materials for the brooder when we start handfeeding them on October 12. Sylvia is just awesome. Here's a short video of the 3.

The first two new hatchlings

Last Saturday, we got 2 new hatchlings, coming out of their eggs a few hours apart. Both looked well and healthy. The third egg is starting to hatch (if you look closely, you will notice a small chip on the egg next to the more prominently seen chick). I used my phone camera to take this one so the photo resolution is not so good. I also took a short 17-second video.

We're so excited. We hope everything turns out well.
