I was thinking tiel or budgie. I haven't seen something so small and naked for a long time.

Sure looks like a baby tiel to me...I am not just copycatting the other answers as I had baby tiels last year.

All are wrong except maybe peeker!

It is a society finch chick. My pair generally lays 6 eggs, but this time we have an only lonely.

This baby is only 1/2 inch long! Teeny Tiny.

A finch? <no my reply isn't too short!>

[Dayna]

Society finches are one of the few birds born nekked! Tiels have that yellow or white depending on the mutation all over their bodies. I think almost all hook bills have fluff of some sort? But society finches are naked at birth.

I have added a pic of the clutch from last year, hard to imagine that they go from those little pink things to those beautiful birds!

I breed tiels and it just dosn't seem quite right. I hope I did this right. This is a picture of a chick I called 2gram as she was only 2 grams at 4 days of age.
