BMustee Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The pet store I work at has gotten in a BUNCH of new babies and I have been bringing the real young ones home with me so they can get 4 feedings a day. I had 2 Blue Crown Conures first but they are ready to stay at the store over night now. I started bringing home 3 White bellied Caiques and they are soooo cute. One is about 4 weeks and the other two are around 5 weeks. Well, today I got to bring home BABY GREYS!!!! There are 3 TAGs and 1 CAG...they where just pulled from the nest and are so tiny. The CAG's eyes are just starting to open. Here are some pics for you all to oogle and ahhhh at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlinva Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 What cute little babies! I could never work in a pet store or I would have a house full!! Thanks for sharing - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Me neither. I don't know how you feed them and cuddle them while they are tiny and then just hand them back when they are just big enough to be fun. I couldnt ever be a breeder either! I want the caiques please! Just ship them over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Awwwww, Oooohhhhh, they are all wonderful Berna. Thanks for sharing those photos. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I can't tell you how hard it is not having a house full of them but I get to play with them and cuddle them in the comfort of my own home and not spend a dime...so really I'm getting a pretty good deal. Plus even when they are old enough to stay at the store I get to play with them there. The Caique in the second pick is a real ham and thinks he is a whole lot bigger than he really is. Elmo has not wanted ANYTHING to do with the babies sense I had started bringing them home but the other night he got up the curage to come over and check them out. I had all three of the Caiques on my chest and Elmo slowly walked up. He put his face right up to the "picture 2" baby and it snapped at Elmo:woohoo: !!! Well, Elmo just about fell off the bed backwards and didn't know what to think. He's come over to the other baby Caiques and has tried to preen them but thing #2 still goes after him...talk about cute! I'll have to get some better pics of the baby greys. Words can not discribe how cute they are when they are being fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMustee Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 hahaha! If you all want to come down to FL you can have your pick of the TAGs! I bet you all can't guess which one is the CAG! Give up...in the last pick he is the one up front...second from the left. In the first pic he is the one with his head on the other babies back.

spookyhurst Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 They are soooooo sweet :kiss:! You're lucky to have them in your home, even for a short time. I know someone from another board who used to work at a bird store. She has a house full. Each time, she would say it was the last bird, but then she would break down and bring home another one. She has a few that nobody wanted because they were disabled in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 yeah, the disabled ones are the ones that get to me. I'm thinking of taking a Zebra that is missing a leg and an Owl that only has one eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookyhurst Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The disabled ones would get to me too. I'm a sucker for any animal with missing or disfigured appendages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Oh I know!!! If I do end up taking them in I'll have to hang a handicap parking sign on the good end of the food dish!:woohoo: :silly: :laugh: Here are some new picks of the babies!!!

HeatherStrella Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Oh boy, I thought you were talking about a real Zebra...then when Spooky said something about "your other finches", I realized you meant Zebra Finch. lol These are some sweet pictures. I'm gonna follow what everyone else says, I could never be a breeder or work in a pet store. My house would be filled with whatever animal came through the pet store and if I bred animals, I wouldn't let them go. But, I would like a chance to breed something some day. And have the babies and hand feed the babies...melt, fall in love, and keep them forever...see! ya. I couldn't do it. Oh well...kudos to those of you who can!!!
