Here are the babies at 3 weeks old, turning darker and darker. I'm hoping the youngest one (the one to the front of the picture with the yellow back) stays quite yellow. If that one is a girl, she very well may be my Mistletoe! Aren't they precious? And so alert for the picture. Look at their funny little yellow tufts!   |

So cute Pammy! Wait until they're standing up and interacting more!

Yeah, I'm eager for them to stand up and for Mary to start getting pictures of them perching on her finger. It'll be exciting to be able to really get a good look at them all over. I think it's so cute how they look at the camera already.

Such a miracle how these little naked things turn into such cure little feathered birds! I really enjoy seeing each picture.

Yes, truly miraculous, Diana. It amazes me how much they change in just two or three days.

They are darling. I am excited for you. I am curious why you are choosing a girl? Also how will you know for sure, my understanding is you can only guess and to know for sure you need to do dna tests. I think the yellow backed baby is mistletoe.

Thank you all! Yes, I do have a new picture, and will hopefully post it here tomorrow.
Rox, I want a girl because I have read different places that generally (of course there are exceptions) female cockatiels are sweeter and cuddlier. Yes, the males sing and whistle and maybe even talk, but the cuddling is more important to me. Yes, I will have a DNA test done, so I know for sure.

When I got my girl cockatiel I first looked at a young boy and deciding on the girl because she is sweeter and quieter. I am afraid the boy I met had been spoiled and became very demanding.
