First one hatched: 02/19 (Between 2:00pm - 6:00pm)
Second baby hatched: 02/21 (Between 12am - 9:30am)

They are making little "peeps" - how cute!!

It isn't too easy to check on them as Miss Tweak guards them!
I laughed yesterday because Tweak actually came out for longer than a minute, and I noticed Gizmo was in there guarding them while she was gone! He is being such a good boy, I am so proud of him.
I imagine they will hatch 2 days apart, so another one should hatch tomorrow.

She laid Egg 6 on 02/08 (Between midnight - 6:00pm)

Average clutch size is 4-6, but some have been known to lay up to 8! I am hoping she is done and okay with 6 since this is her first clutch! She is going to have her claws full!!

She laid EGG 5 on 02/06 (Between midnight - 5:00pm)

Miss Tweak laid her fourth egg on Wednesday morning - between midnight & 8:30am. (That seems to be her favorite time!)
She hasn't laid a fifth one yet... I think she may be stopping at four!

Just another update! 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.
Now taking bets on how many you think she will have! LOL
(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.

Tweak now has 2 eggs- her second one was laid sometime Friday (01-29) between 2:00pm-6:30pm

Tweak laid an egg Wednesday... 01-27-10!!!!

New member of the family!!

Bath 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. Here is some MEDIA of Bath Time!!

Miss Huzzah picked out a pretty template for the blog and then immediately went back to bed. The Flock likes to nap while the humans are at work. :)
