    baby cockatiels.
    Here are some baby birds that we recently hatched out from our pair of cockatiels.
    The birds are actually my son Nicks, but they're a lot of fun for the whole family.
    Sorry about the blurryness, I'm not very good at taking bird pics.

    The littlest one. Notice the red eye on him.

    Here is the middle one, he's a pied.

    The first one in this clutch to hatch. Another Lutino.

    Here's a pic of Nick with the Mom and Dad.

    Mom and Dad again. Lucky and Phoenix.

    We're not brave enough to try hand feeding yet, this is only our third clutch of babies. But we handle the babies nearly every day so that they are used to people. They stay nice and tame.

    ya that's pretty much equivalent to hand-feeding and a lot less hassle for you! :P the petstore we sell our babies to... takes them once they are down to two feedings a day and continues to hand feed them in the store so they can get used to lots of people and lots of noise etc.

    it works well for us all.

    Awe, how cute; congrats! It is really cool that you tame them down; I hate seeing wild birds at pet stores that no one will buy. :(
