Lineolated Parakeets in the Nest!

We have five lineolated babies all in one nest! K&L Cockatiels is looking to trade some of these guys for unrelated stock. Possibilities include Cobalts, Dark Greens, Greens and Turquoise (sky blue). All greens will be split blue. I'll be getting DNA's on all these guys in about 4 weeks. Let's cross our toes and hope they all make to the weaning cage!

In cockatiel news, we have set up seven new cockatiel pairs. While we'll be doing a few switches in the next few weeks, we hope to have plenty of babies by early summer! We've already banded close to 30 babies this year and have kept close to half due to their quality and our focus back to our lines. We have quite a few pretty pieds and we've also set up our beautiful SLYC hen we purchased from Linda Arnett this year. Wish us luck!
