I am proud to announce that all 5 of Missy & Smokey's eggs have hatched, and we have 5 little "bugs" in the nestbox. I'd like to thank all of you who have visited, chatted and kept me company while all this was going on. I know many of you have sacrificed work, pleasure, and food to watch the hatching evolve. My hat and heart are open to you. Please stay with me while the chicks grow into hopefully, healthy little babies and I'll keep the cam up as long as there is interest.

Awww, that is so great! five new little feathered lives! they sure all look healthy and hungry on the web cam! can see them most of the time now and missy and smokey sure take good care of them! what great parents they are! they must learn that from the great parents they have! best wishes for healthy happy babies, and congratulations!

I am a fairly new cockatiel mom and very new to this site. I would love to see the pics of the babies. how do I get to see them? So exciting for you!

Folks from the U.K., Holland, and several from the "Land of Oz," Australia, so far have visited. And of course us crazies from California, and folks from all over including Colorado, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, checking in during the day!

Lil Bit was born with about a dozen of us sitting and staring cross-eyed at the cam this afternoon, rooting him on, fussing and telling Missy and Smokey to hurry it on or move out of the light and let us see! It took ALL day for Lil Bit to break outta the shell and finally by 4pm West Coast time THERE HE WAS in all his little pinkness!

The eldest is now standing on his own sometimes away from the pack before mama and papa hustle him back into the fold. Today Smokey looked like a circus elephant trying to stand on a drum trying to get all those little fluffy bugs tucked under him. He almost tipped over! He is a very good papa and Missy is a very attentive mama. They feed almost non stop!!! It's amazing and mesmerizing to watch. Have a bag of oreo cookies nearby and check in!!!

I was there and it was awesome I really will enjoy watching them grow and the last one reminded me of Mamba off Happy Feet stuck in the egg and if you haven't seen the movie rent it borrow it buy it you will love it!!

Congrats again Grandpa

Did that little 5th one hatch after I was visiting yesterday when me, Joanne and (I think) Ruth were trying to decide if that was an egg crack or a poop line???

How fun and exciting.. All I ever get is the gray screen I wish I could see the babies..

You have to sign in between 8 am and about 6 pm eastern time. If you still get a gray screen during those hours, I need to know about it.
