It certainly has but in very small packages. These two baby cockatiels are less than two weeks old but are very active and demanding. Don't you just love their yellow hairdo? Each baby will be the color of one of the parents, one a "normal" and one a "lutino". Dad is the lutino which is white and yellow with the distinctive orange cheek spots and some dark spots on his wings. Mom is the normal grey color also with the cheek spots. This is not their first batch of babies. The first three were born a few years ago and are also living in the aviary. The second baby was hatched but at eight days old one of the other birds living there took him out of his nest and killed him. A total of four eggs in this batch were fertile but only these two have gained any age. One never made it out of the egg and for some reason the first to hatch died a week ago. These babies, if not sold as pets, will join with the other eight 'tiels living in the aviary.
