The second egg hatched today, this chick made it out of the egg okay and appears to be doing okay. This one looks like it will be a normal grey.
One of the eggs hatched today, but the chick only got half way out of the egg before it just died.
The teil eggs should start hatching in the next couple of days. I'm really trying not to get too excitied till I know if the chicks are going to be healthy and live, it's just too hard to get so attached and then have them die, though I don't think there is any way for me not to get attached to them. So here's hoping for healthy chicks :)
As of early this morning Tiger was very ill and couldn't even stand up. I flushed her crop and a couple hours later she was doing great, she was bright and alert, she was standing up on her own and everything. a few minutes ago I checked on her and she appears to be dying.
 Here's a pic of Tiger from yesterday. Today she's not doing very well, I'm hoping I'll be able to save her, I can't stand the thought of losing this little one :(
I now have 5 eggs with my teils (Shi-Shi and Sing-Sing), however I'm sure they won't all be fertile. Still no eggs from the budgies or my other pair of teils yet, but Lola and Lander (teils) are starting to show breeding behavior, so soon I think. Still no luck finding a pair IRN's or conure's to breed, but I'll keep looking and saving.
Tiger is finally starting to do really well, she's growing and getting feathers, she bright and alert and sooo cute, whenever she hears me she jumps up and runs to the front of the brooder (even though she's still clumsy) and chirps at me. I'm still having problems with the video camera I bought, I can't upload to youtube without distortion of the video. I'm pretty postive I'm going to send it back. The still feature on the camera is totally useless, the shutter speed is way too slow and you can't change it. I am waiting to hear back from the company about it. Instead of looking for a video camera that takes stills I think its best to get a digital camera that takes video, so I'm getting a 16MP Fujifilm camera that takes video, it should also record sound and hopefully that will work out better. I want to take great stills and video's of my fabies. Tiger is finally getting some feathers, I'm anxious to see if she's a pearl like I've always thought she is. I have another egg, so that makes 4. The budgies, Blueberry and Taffy seem really excited about the nest box, they keep checking it out. They aren't afraid of it like Azul and Ava. With any luck I'll have budgie eggs soon. Hope is wanting a female of his own so I'm going to have to find him a cute little female :)
On a side note I finally got the digital camcorder I ordered, but I'm not sure if I like it yet, I may send it back, it doesn't seem to work as well as I hoped, maybe thats why I didn't have to pay that much for it. Tiger is now 27 grams. It looks like were holding at three teil eggs.
