I’ll put these babies in the same entries since they are being raised together. Some sad news about Cocoa’s babies, the 2 youngest did not make it. For first time parents there was a ton of stress on them but I suspect they weren’t purposely harmed by the parents but rather it was just their inexperience. So I have their 2 bubs and 3 of Ginger’s out right now- Ginger has one more in the nest doing well, but is small yet and I’ll be pulling that one in about 2 days I think. All blue series bubs but I guess I’ll be getting sea greens from Cocoa and Jimmy by the looks of the oldest, not so bad considering the splits the males will carry, they will make some beautiful baby girls one day. At least one of Ginger’s babies is definitely blue but this clutch is a toss up because of the stud service she received 
That ’stud’ is up for sale BTW, taking reasonable offers!
Drying in the warm sun after a wee bath
Cocoa's bub that was pulled first
Well, flight practice has begun and the 2 oldest have flown short hops, the 2 youngest are afraid still and like taking the bus. They were moved to a cage yesterday and are a bit in shock of all the space. Even after covering it so it was dark they still stayed in one spot. This morning they are more comfortable though.
Already climbing pros!
feeling safe in a tissue box
They’re almost fully feathered, foraging, and perching- they’re getting so cute!
Snuggly Lovebird Babies
Silly ones sneaking up on Mickey's photo up
I feel like she's trying to saying there lol
My name is Mickey and my new Mommy is so excited about me!
They’re at that stage when they are really getting cute!….feathers don’t hurt either ;P
to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
An apartment complex in Oregon has banned it’s residents from displaying the American Flag in any way.

Now, shouldn’t that be what is banned? Shouldn’t it be illegal to prevent someone, an American, here in America, from displaying the American Flag? This IS America after all. The United States of America.
They are afraid someone might get offended. OFFENDED?!? Are you kidding me? If someone is offended by a patriot displaying their allegiance to this country then maybe they need to get the heck out of dodge, don’t you think?
What is good about respecting someone who is offended by THE AMERICAN FLAG? We’re going to disrespect Proud Americans in order to respect someone who is offended by our Flag?
Seriously, it doesn’t get much more wrong than that. Wake up America!!!!!!!!

So, in order to distinguish between clutches as I start to post pics of later clutches, this first clutch will be ‘Lucci’s babies’- Lucci is the cock from this pair. It’s been 4 days and we have a combined weight gain of 33 grams. The oldest is already flapping it’s wings and getting curious, and decided that head rubbing is wonderful, especially with all those feathers coming lol I had thought the youngest would be Am. Cinn (wishful thinking) but in fact it looks like it be standard green. They had their first bath today and were not quit
e dry in the pics, but here they are
I go to pull the babies and there are 4 not 3, that little hen has got some rear on her to hide an egg and a baby all this time lol It is a very robust pair, healthy and fit so I probably shouldn’t coplain about it.
Lucci's babies fall 2009
All spread out for the first time
A dutch blue
pied, going to have a reddish brow
I do believe this one is American Cinnamon
Yet another green series pied like the other
They will start to grow and feather out quickly now that they’re in the brooder. It’s always interesting to see the coloring come in on the pieds and I’m curious to see if this american cinnamon is white faced or not like my Cocoa (Cocoa was from this same pair).
For those following the happenings in the aviary, some news about Cocoa and Jimmy. Jimmy has not been eating enough for himself it seems, which wasn’t a problem until the nights turned chilly. He’s been doing a bang up job of feeding Cocoa but he couldn’t keep up like that so I’ve had to risk losing the babies by upsetting Cocoa and bring them all in the house. I am hoping that she will be fine when the babies hatch next week because she was handfed and raised by me but I won’t know that until the time comes They’re both doing good so keep your fingers crossed!
