Jayd Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) These are the Fids we have helped fledge last year...We usually start about 15 to 20 days old until flying and fully weaned. Unfortunately, we have no say-so if they will be clipped when we return them. The hardest part is not bonding with them (too much). last year we always had up to 50 fids at a time,[including our] Jayd Spock and sister. Spock 7 weeks old. Skittles 4 weeks old Sunburst 4 weeks old. Skittle and Sunburst 5 weeks old. Keet 1 hr old Hawkhead [wow] 20 DAYold Greenwing Macaw 20 day old Ruby Macaw 15 day old scarlet Leadbetter We also fledged a Umbrella TOO, Green-Cheek Conures, Amazon's, all our 'Tiels ETC. This was volunteer work, owner supplied food etc. Jayd and Maggie Edited April 20, 2010 by Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I don't know how you two do it, I would have to keep every baby, that would be so difficult to handle them every day, snuggling them, playing with them and loving them up and then turn around and let them go, my heart would break at each departure. Those babies are adorable, thanks for sharing the pictures with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Judy, that was the hardest thing to do, giving them back, we couldn't even name them. From feeding them 5 times a day to praising them and scolding them, each with a different personality, and not bonding with them....it was hard, and we loved every minute of it. Some times we'd have to work with them till they went to their new homes. The Leadbetter [Major Mitchell] didn't find a home for over a year....[Their expensive]. Jayd p.s. As I find the rest of the photo's we'll post them... Edited April 21, 2010 by Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
