Tiel Babies

[lexi]

Hi I posted these photos in a couple of spots because I'm so proud of them. My tiels are very young and I was surprised what good parents they have been. They are only 10 months old. They are devoted to their babies and I had planned to give them away but I'm going to keep them all.
These are the proud parents.

Um, no offense, but those babies are so ugly they are CUTE! LOL Seriously, they are adorable. Are they already the colors they will be when they are grown? And congrats!

Keeping them all! LOL Have to admit I would be the same way and not be able to give them away. They are all adorable and wow have they grown!

I don't know if their feathers are the colors they are going to be. But if they are, they are both daddies little babies. I was hoping for one cinnomon though. As parents say, I don't care as long as they're healthy. I am going to try to take a group photo this morning because believe it or not they grew overnight.

Your babies are lovely.......but isn't 10 months a little young to be breeding the parents?

I had thought they weren't fully mature (especially the females) until 18-24 months.

They're beautiful we have about 30 cockatiels used to breed them but now we are not getting many, they're a lovely little bird also have 12 indian ringneck parrots and 5 rainbow lorikeets, they make a racket when the wild lorikeets fly over.
