Hi everyone! I have been blessed with two new African grey Timneh chicks from one of my pairs. I was able to snap a photo yesterday, the oldest is 8 days old and the youngest is 6 days old. You can only see the head of the oldest one in this picture. I will keep you updated as they grow... two weeks to go and I'll be a busy momma bird...<br><br>Post edited by: Lyric, at: 2008/10/27 16:23

Awwww, they are so helpless and still forming body parts at that age. Very nice photo. Thanks for sharing it. :-)
How is Mom and Dad doing at caring for them? How did they take you intruding into their space?
Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.

Thanks everyone, I'm really excited about it, I must say! I'll be interested to see how Lyric reacts to the new babies. He was the only chick in his clutch that hatched so he wasn't raised around other birds. I don't expect he'll be too pleased- :evil: Sharing my affections with another isn't his strong point.
The mother and father are doing just great. They don't seem nervous at all and papa is just keeping so busy eating and feeding both momma and the babies. I don't intrude on them too much but check inside the nest box when she leaves to get a treat maybe about every other day. She was surprisingly much more defensive when they were just eggs, hardly even leaving the box even to get one of her favorite treats. She takes a few more breaks now and seems excited and happy about the whole venture. I really couldn't ask for a better pair.
I will update this thread as I have more pictures-it really is quite a miracle watching them grow.
