seankly Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Heres some pictures on my new baby Tui. I get him/her on the 28th October...cant wait! The pictures start from just 1 week to present, 6 weeks i think. What a difference there is already! This is Tui at 1 day old, you can just see Tui under the mum. Mum doesnt look too happy! :blink: .. and now in the brooder, playing with toys already :laugh: Tui was born on the 5th, this picture is the 25th Aug 08.. and now the 5th September 08.. and finally this paicture was taken last Monday 22nd, looks more like a little parrot now! B) Hope you enjoyed the pics!<br><br>Post edited by: seankly, at: 2008/09/27 20:19
casper Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 What beautiful pictures! Cant believe the difference in such a short space of time! Thanks for sharing those with us.
seankly Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 The breeder has been great with letting me visit as often as i like. It was a great experience to see the eggs in the nest box. The mum was hissing and screeching...not a nice sound and quite scary actually !:pinch: I had to stick my head in to take the photo! The last picture was taken just on Mnday. Tui is now picking up toys and throwing them and then waddling over to them, still not too steady on the feet! I feel ive been lucky to have this experience...has anyone else been as lucky to visit the breeder? Thanks Sean
judygram Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Tui is adorable and yes you are lucky to be able to have this experience, I did not get to see my baby until she was partially feathered. I am surprised that the breeder would let you see it in the nestbox, the parents really should not be disturbed at that stage and no wonder the mom was hissing and screeching. Thanks for sharing those pics with us and keep us updated with new ones for they change so rapidly when young.
lovemyGreys Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Tui is adorable Sean, thanks for sharing those great pictures.
bbrew5 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Great pics of Tui, she is beautiful You are lucky to get to see her and take pics at such an early age. Congrats!!!!!!!!
Luvparrots Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I am so glad I saw your great album of pics of your new baby because my Tag Tallulah/Cisco was born on 8/15 and I haven't seen her/him yet. (I'm showing my age with these old film names, for you youngsters, Tallulah Bank was an old film actress and The Cisco Kid and old film western character)Anyway your pictures give me some idea of what my baby looks like, so thanks bunches. I hope you keep us informed of what you do and how things go with your Cag Tui (I think the mom in the pictures looks like a Cag) so I'll have a guide to use{Feel-good-00020069}. Thanks for sharing!!!:kiss:
Abernathy Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Great pics, thanks for sharing! I wish I had pictures of Morgan right from the egg like that. B)
danmcq Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Wonderful photos of Tui!! Thanks for sharing these. :-)
Cagal08 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Awesome pictures and look how stunning the parents are. I bet you are just so excited. I have owned alot of different types of birds but by far the Cags are my love of the parrot world Congrats!!
siobha9 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 He really is beautiful and you are so lucky to have seen him literally from day one. I got both of mine fully weaned at 16 weeks and I had never seen them before that. So to me they always looked pretty much as they do now apart from the eye colour and the tail feathers. Please keep showing us more photos as he grows;)
Ina Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 The pictures are stunning, please update us with more and goodluck with your baby
seankly Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for the replies! I have some videos that i can post on youtube. I will post the links to the videos soon. Thanks again... Sean
judygram Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Oh boy, videos, we love either pictures or videos, can't wait to see them and thank you.

seankly Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 Tui is the one on the left by the way!
Lanibird Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 How adorable!!! My CAG is now going on 16 and your pics take me back to the baby days! Makes me want another new baby, too although I don't think my Lani would agree, necessarily! :-) Thanx for sharing!!!!! Lanibird
seankly Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 I'm off to the breeder on Friday so hopefully get a few pictures. These will be two weeks since the last one so I'll expect to see a big difference again. I'll post them as soon as I can. 4 weeks till she's home! Can't wait ! Sean
RyannsGreys Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 These are Fantastic!! Mommy Grey doesn't look happy at all about being peeked on! LOL She is sweet!
seankly Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 I'm unsure what the best food would be for Tui when she comes home. What do you all think. I am interested in a pellet type food, Harrisons inparticular. Do you think this would be best? Obviously I'll feed her fruit veg etc. I've also bought some red palm oil as well which I'll feed her every other day. The breeder is feeding a seed mix along with a huge variety of fruit and vegetables which seems to be working for him. I thought the pellets may ensure she is getting the basics needed for a healthy diet but the more I read the more confusing things become! Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks, Sean
Lanibird Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Hey Sean, I just saw your video of baby Tui on Youtube.....How so very precious!!!!! You must be beside yourself in excitement!!!! Keep us posted! :-) Janine (Lanibird)
