Our Green-Cheeked Conure Babies are two!

[Muse]

Nava Maeve was our first hatch, on 04-18-12. Today, she turns two. She's the sweetie of the bunch. She loves to sit on my head and preen my hair.

 

 

Noah Alden will be two tomorrow, 04-19. He is a cinnamon mutation, like his mother. He is sweet when he wants to be, but bites hard when he doesn't.

 

 

Loralese Marie will be two on 04-21. She is very much like her mother. She does not step up, but will come perch on my head and preen my hair only on her terms.

 

I love them all dearly and the memories of their hatching and witnessing the miracle of seeing a new life emerge from an egg will remain some of the best memories of my life.

 

Pics are from a few days after they fledged (6/03/12).

Green cheeks are another one of my favorites. I've had two of them. The last one made off with my daughter and her parrotlet. I just love their little personalities.

 

Happy hatchday to the the little guys.

Happy hatch day to Nava Maeve, Noah Alden and Loralese Marie and may you have many more each better than the last.

They all have the sweetest little faces. I love baby pictures and everything commemorating those magical moments of creating a bond with the incredible world of parrots. I also think its a pretty good system that each egg from a clutch is laid on subsequent days. Every new hatchling has his or her very own special day! Way to go babies. Happy hatchday to each of you.

Thanks to all for the lovely hatch-day wishes.

Saw a young green cheek in Petsmart yesterday. Made me really miss my Stewart. She had pulled a millet twig to her perch and was eating it. Pretty friendly little girl too. I initiated the begging sequence and my wife quickly shut it down.
