Peekaboo

Here are Roma and Sailor (Gary didn't care for the name Hawkins after all) peeking out of their nest box today. This is a boot shaped nest box so they had to pull themselves up onto the ledge in order to peek out. It's all over now! They are 9 weeks old.

Peekaboo babies! They have grown up so fast. I want to snuggle, cuddle, kiss, and just love on those beauties. Would you like my shipping info. ;)

they're beautiful. won't be long before they can leave the nestbox on their own? Roma has a lot of nice bright blue on her shoulders, Talula's blue is narrower and darker there. Sailor looks like such a sweetie and Roma looks like.. trouble! lol

All the way out and in again

They both climbed out, explored and went back in for the night! Sailor even made his way to the outside top of the cage! My husband scolded me for putting him up there when I didn't even know he'd done it! Eventually he climbed down and made his way back to the nest box, all on his own. So fun. Our first batch were not able to stay in their original nestbox because we were traveling in our fifth wheel and needed to transfer them to a tub as soon as they were feathered. So this is a great treat for us to see them learning to leave the box on their own. I'll be interested to learn how long they will choose to sleep in the box, before they begin roosting at night on a perch.

Becca, these two will probably go somewhere, but I have to force myself into placing the 8 month old wild child girls first. I'm getting a bit Eclectus overwhelmed here!

It may be the camera that makes the blue look different than Talula's. I'll bet they look almost the same in bird (person).
