Tweak now has 3 eggs. She is sitting pretty tightly on them now and only comes out to grab some quick food and then she runs back to the nest in less than a minute. Her belly looked pretty big last night so I had a feeling there would be another one this morning! She laid this one sometime between 11:30 last night and 8:20am this morning- same period of time when she laid her first one. <br />Now taking bets on how many you think she will have! LOL<br />(Hint: Average clutch size of a green cheek conure is 4 - 6 eggs, but there have been some to lay 8) I am hoping more for 4 than 6! The less she has the more healthy I think they would be.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7389526759646456084-1854260724556728414?l=birdheaddotnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Valerie Bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389526759646456084.post-42581573119744871772010-01-30T15:04:00.001-08:002010-01-30T15:04:35.277-08:00<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/4315282136/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4315282136_38ac1d4490.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/4315282136/">Update: TWO Eggs!</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/">pandoraice</a>.</span></div><p>Tweak now has 2 eggs- her second one was laid sometime Friday (01-29) between 2:00pm-6:30pm</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7389526759646456084-4258157311974487177?l=birdheaddotnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Valerie Bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389526759646456084.post-31044328775821043252010-01-29T17:17:00.001-08:002010-01-29T17:17:49.322-08:00<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/4308614969/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2725/4308614969_041e7f6dfa.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/4308614969/">Tweak laid an egg!!</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/">pandoraice</a>.</span></div><p>Tweak laid an egg Wednesday... 01-27-10!!!!</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7389526759646456084-3104432877582104325?l=birdheaddotnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Valerie Bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389526759646456084.post-60597324941492416032009-08-20T12:43:00.001-07:002009-08-20T12:43:58.396-07:00<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/3840281378/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2474/3840281378_562293dc9d.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/3840281378/">HELIOS the Sun Conure!</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/pandoraicelovesbirdhead/">pandoraice</a>.</span></div><p>New member of the family!!</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7389526759646456084-6059732494149241603?l=birdheaddotnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Valerie Bnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389526759646456084.post-15998511562604683702009-07-02T13:50:00.000-07:002009-07-02T14:15:22.868-07:00Bath time in our household is pretty fun... if you enjoy being splashed!! The three green cheek conures all love to take baths, especially when it is hot. Gizmo never turns down a bath, West will usually take one, and Tweak usually turns them down but will occasionally take one. They have a little plastic tub they take a bath in. It is actually a ferret litter box- but I don't tell them that! It is the perfect depth and fits into the sink.
