just imagine having two of these, hand raised, and thinging that the top of your head is their personal landing pad.

hand feeding was easy with these kids.Tweetie was nearly dead when I found him abandoned in the loft,but he's made up for it since.And Squishy was raised mostly by good parents, but I wanted company for Tweetie,and Squishy was in a nest being eyed by some very aggressive big pigeons looking to start their own family.I was afraid that if I left Squishola in the nest,I'd end up with a very picked on or dead baby.It was an easy decision to pull and feed. Besides,spattered hand feeding formula is so good for your complexion

What an absolute doll! He looks like he is just too tiny for that band I know you are enjoying these babies. Are you going to name him?

Daryl, I can imagine how cute your little kids are (love the names), I just hope they don't mix up their personal landing pad with where they go to the bathroom.

the band does look big...but the back toe is holding it on so far... I have not named him/her but I just have been calling him/her my little binkie....I only let them hatch the one, as I want my other pair to hatch one as well, that way I won't have to many related so maybe both pairs of offspring can find partners one day...we will see.

and yes the feeding formula is good for your hair too...lol...

Treesa,
That's what Boni's Birdwear is for. I only have one suit, so the kids take turns (unless I have a hat on, and then I don't give a poop.

Yes, I have to get a pic of the terrible two, and of Beeper for my friends here. It was snowing (swear words) when I was driving home from work, and the garage floor (concrete) was wet. Bet you all can guess what I did. Yup, fell down, hellity hoop. Stiff and sore today. Then, 10:30 last night when the dogs had to go for potty break, it was really coming down. All gone today.

Oh No, not again...I hope you feel better and don't fall anymore. Snow is coming down kind of early, then?

well, it was my own fault. I wear those Crocs for work, and when the bottom treads wear away, they are bad news on wet floors. And, I don't know how I managed, but I fell forward instead of back, and landed on my knees. Well, being built like a pouter pigeon explains the forward dive, and let's leave it at that, o.k. Going shopping for new work shoes tomorrow. Could have gone today, but just wanted to play with birdies and doggies and do housework today.
