M&L Aviaries

Well it's been a while, the babies are 7 weeks or just about.  Lots of feathers now.  Baby #1 started the peeking out stage but baby #2 is the first to perch.  She climbs up on the side of her feeding bucket and sits there.  Baby #3 is watching everything and will be sure to follow shortly, she is younger after all. #1 & 2 should start flying this weekend, that always happens around 8 weeks.  I find once they start to fly you start to see more of their individual personalities.  They are all very similar right now and enjoying their scratches.  #1 seems to be the one that is very content to sit in a lap and be scratched and touched until she falls asleep.  The other two are very exploratory.  #1 seeks out her toys and plays with them, #2 &3 will play with the toys given to them.  Once they fly and have their own sense of independence then you truly see what each bird enjoys doing.
