Oh Rita, the brothers have gotten so big so FAST! I tell you what, it's feels like I'm sitting right there too watching those babies. Everytime I watch one of your videos, it brings tears to my eyes, and in a good way. Just the way you talk to them and love on them, my eyes fill just fill up. You treat and talk to your babies like I treat and talk to mine. I I know they learn to understand.
@1boidae LOL...Dixie sounds like a WHOLE FLOCK of sea gulls!! Every time she flies somewhere she has to let us know about it and she screams like that!!
I read some place that baby Caiques purr when they are being fed. Is there any truth to that? Some times when Dolly is sitting quietly and happy, she seems to be doing something that seems almost like a soundless purr. You can see her tummy area kind of fluttering. I have a lot to learn about birds!
@momkat201 I don't think I have ever noticed the purring when I am hand feeding. Maybe they do it when they are eating on their own. Many caiques do that purring sound you hear when Dolly is snuggling with you ..... it's cute isnt it?
@Maxrock9 babies are not really as fragile as you may think. But, yes, treating babies gently at this age does encourage trust between them and people. If they are treated roughly they are not trusting of hands and people as they grow up.
Hello Rita191919, I am looking for two babies myself. Any ideas where I can find two WBC?

OMG!!!! I can't believe how CUUUTE these babies are, Rita!
It was so funny when you introduced the 12 day old baby.... he all f a sudden began to squeek. He intrduced himself LOL!
Big Brother and Little Brother looked so cute just hanging out in their feeding trays waiting for their turns....they're all so precious!!!
Dixie sounds just like a sea gull.... I think you need to make it up to her by including her in your next video ;-)

@Squiggleee i didn't see the shaking.... but if you mean their tail was wiggling back and forth....yes, they were getting ready to poop.
