where are you at? The baby is adorable. so far its feathers are mostly white and yellow. I think it's a girl, because the orange cheeks are the same color as it's mom and not as bright as its dad.

The baby bird is as cute as ever. She is almost fully feathered now, and starting to get her crest. She lives in her own cage now, because her dad was picking on her. Her mom still visits her though, and oddly enough still feeds the little one. The baby bird does eat on her own, but prefers mom to feed her. She is extremely friendly, loves to be pet, and is very curious about things. One of her biggest curiosities is houdini, my blue and gold macaw. While he is locked up in his cage, she will sit on a perch outside his cage, and "talk" to him. Oh, her noises are very squeeky too. She is extremely good at flying; much better than her parents are. I need to clip her wings but holding off for now. I discovered today that she likes playing games on my android phone. she plays this ant smasher game. her high score is only 6 though. I think I'm gonna keep her.

The baby is growing really colorful, and starting to grow her crest. She is extremely friendly and curious. She also likes to poke around at the touch screen on my phone!

you know you gotta keep them when they start playing with your toys :p
beautiful bird, I need money one day so that I can get into birds properly
I have 2 parakeets but they are bird only birds, so I can't handle them
I have also learned, somehow, that I feel much more comfortable with a larger bird than I do with smaller birds, like, I feel comfortable handling macaws more-so than I do quakers
I don't understand me sometimes XD
