Tiki and Baby breeding journal

[Tiki<3Polly]

I am going to try to breed Tiki and Baby again. I tried breeding them last year, but all 3 eggs were duds. Hopefully they lay eggies soon. They have a nestbox and they are in a seperate cage from Mika and Tootsie. They have been regurigating alot more since they have been alone in the cage. I will keep ya'll updated.

Here is a picture or Baby.

[budgiebuddie]

[Tiki<3Polly]

Thank you !

Update
The poops are larger now, and They are starting to be more affectionate!

Also, I have gotten a little help from Marsheliah because, she showed me that there was handfeeding formula in Petsmart. I never knew that because I never saw it untill now. I also have handfeeding syringes that I can use for feeding. I was wondering. I want to handfeed one of the babies because I am off for 3 months for summer break, and I have the formula and the syringes, so I was wondering if I should handfeed. Opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Update
Right now, Baby is going into condition more !

Congrats, I am looking forward to seeing the colours. Tiki's colouring is similar to my Charlie's. So I can vicariously see the results. :)

Personally, I would not handfeed unless required. You can achieve the same level of tameness by holding the baby as it grows.

Update
Baby had a swollen vent so I thought she was going to lay an egg soon. Today I looked and her vent wasn't as swollen so I look into the nestbox and egg #1 is there, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me ! hehe :)

I remember getting my first egg! Sooooo exciting! Not as exciting as getting your first chick, but very exciting! Good luck!

[Tiki<3Polly]

lol I hope it is an egg because I saw an egg shape in the corner but i cant see very clearly and she is sittng/ incubating something!

[Marsheliah]

Hehehehe. That would probably be an egg. Good luck!

[Tiki<3Polly]

Thank you!

[Tiki<3Polly]

Nevermind, it was my mean brother! He put a fake egg in the nestbox so he made me think that it was real =[

But now Baby is swollen in her vent, and her tail is bobbing so hopefully she will lay tonight or tomorrow!

[Tiki<3Polly]

Her poops are huge ! They look like a cockatiels poop!

[laurago]

what a mean brother getting your hopes up, hopefully you will have some soon :)

[Tiki<3Polly]

She is going to probably lay today

[laurago]

good luck hope all goes well :)

[Marsheliah]

Is their nest box that box?

[Babyluv12]

Is it wet?

[Tiki<3Polly]

It was and now she has a wooden one.

[Marsheliah]

Okay. Phew. Hehehe.

[Tiki<3Polly]

I'm worried that she is eggbound! I know what to do, bu how long do the birds have a swollen vent and their poops are the largest before they lay an egg!?! She has had a swollen vent for about 2 days now!

[Tiki<3Polly]

OK well Eggie #1 is here, bu this is my first and last time breeding! I don't want to increase the population of homeless birds. I am going to a adopt a parrot from a rescue in the near future. baby is already incubating the egg.

[budgiebuddie]

ok, well your doing a good thing for those homeless birds out there!

egg #1 is here OMGOSH!!!!!
