6th egg arrived yesterday for Caeser and Tiki.
Boomer is here in Raven's nest. We are stepping aside from the Finding Nemo theme, we are going with something from the 4th. He/she is really tiny and not as wiggly as the others. Bommer opens his mouth as if he/she wants to peep but no sound comes out. We are hoping that Boomer makes it.

I hope Boomer does well. The babies are always so tiny I'm afraid they will get squashed by the others, but it hasn't happened to me yet.

Well I know that I haven't given you the update that all of you so greatly desire so I decided that today was the day for a massive photo shoot and cleaning of the box. I can't believe that Nemo is 8 days old already!!! Here are some long awaited pics: Dog pile, you vcan see everyone in this photo. My two oldest, Squirt and Nemo. Here are some individual shots: NEMO (8 days old) SQUIRT (7 days old) DORY (2 days old) LUCKY (less than 1 day old) Here is a group photo that really shows the size difference: Squirt, Nemo, Dory, and in front is Lucky. Hope this is enough to satisfy your picture needs for now. I am sure there will be plenty more to come. ~Melissa

Crush was born yesterday afternoon but he was moved into Caesers nest because Raven was spending much less time in the box and hadn't noticed the little one. He/she is doing well and pics will soon follow.

One more little update. Caeser and Tiki are now the proud parents of a day old chick. He or she was born some time yesterday morning and they are thriving. We are going with a Land Before Time theme so this little one has been named Little Foot, however they have also gained the nickname of L.T.
Pics will hopefully come tomarrow or this weekend.

Petrie was born yesterday morning and is doing great!!!! Both Petrie and Little Foot have yellowish beaks so I'm guessing that theyt are both going to be something pied.
More pics are sure to come.

Just a little update, hopefully pics will come tomarrow.
Raven's babies are flourishing and are turning into beautiful little birds. I think that Nemo and Squirt are Normal Cobalts, Dory may be one aswell. Lucky is, possibly, a Normal Sky and Crush is turning out to be a Normal Mauve. I can't believe how grown up they look. Its hard to believe that they are the same litttle pink blobs that they were days ago.
Caeser's clutch only managed to produce 2 healthy babies. Little Foot and Petrie are doing wonderful. L.T. is definately a dominant pied YF something. After seeing 5 normals grow up its awsome to see him/her grow and develop the colors. Petrie is beginning to get fuzzy and getting darker markings on his/her wings as well. It will be interesting to see how they turn out.
Like I mentioned earlier, I will try to get pics up for you tomarrow.
