Baby Listens carefully

I should have labeled the pictures immediately. Now I don't remember which baby is which. You can see Java and Kiwi in the background. They always paid close attention when I worked with the babies. They never seemed jealous, just helpful! Java always had comments and helpful suggestions. When I reach to pick up a baby, he tells them to "Step up!" He praises them when they do what I want! He tells them to come to me with his cute "Come here!" When I give them something to eat, he says, "There you go!" When the baby's were just learning to fly, he said "oh oh!" when they landed badly. One day when #3 was heading straight for the wall, Java could see that the baby was going to crash, just before he hit the wall, Java cried out, "Oh no! Oh no!" I call Java my assistant and my commentator. It seems that it is his job to make comments on everything that happens!

The Youngest Baby

Help! I want a picture that shows their color

The baby's are very comfortable on their T-stand. They are eating better all of the time! I used Paint Shop Pro to try to get the color to be more accurate but I am afraid it gave a greenish tint to everyone. This is the only picture that I have colorized at all in this blog. The others are as natural as I can make them.

Glow in the Dark Baby

The baby's feathers have come in so beautifully, they just look like they are glowing neon! I have had a hard time getting a picture that really does justice to their new feathers! They are so hard on this first set of feathers that they don't seem to stay perfect for long!
