Pretty chuffed......Fledged today........2 baby Little Squirters

I pulled another one which was a fair bit smaller to hand tame...........Gee they're fiddly at feeding time

Geez there well feathered Mick, Congrat's

Thanks Buzz.......Yes, they really surprised me.......They look better than the parents at the moment who, being first timers, are looking pretty frazzled. I' even caught them a few weeks ago and cleaned off the caked on food around their faces

I've doubled up the wet mix so they dont have to make up their own with the dry mix and water.....Taking one off their hands last week has made a bit of a difference too.................

Its a bit of a challenge going from handling Ray the Rainbow to "Yet to be named" Little

Yes they are fiddly to hand feed after rearing the bigger birds but good for cuddles afterwards .... love them.

kinda quiet with just Pip the PC on 4 feeds daily at the moment ....best just enjoy the calm before the storm hey

I dont know how you do it VR and work and run aviaries

Cute looking babies, but I bet those beaks can still do some damage.
