This morning the Parrotlets hatched out their first baby of this clutch. Hopefully we have a couple of boys, and at least one of them being American Yellow.
This morning also, I was able to witness Dweezel, my male Caique, feeding Zorro, my female Caique. At least I believe he was feeding her. It was hard to tell if there was an actual passing of food, but they went through the motions, which in itself is a giant leap. We are getting closer and closer to them being completely bonded and mating. Since they have already laid eggs, they have the nesting part down, as well as incubating so I am quite confident that if they ever mate and lay fertile eggs, they will good parents and will take very good care of the babies. The nest box will be coming down for a few months after Zorro is done setting on these eggs.
