L.S.C.Cockatoo Chicks (Popsie & Pippin)
We are please to say that "Popsie & Pippin" our
Lesser Sulpher Crested Cockatoos are doing a
wonderful job of raising their chick,considering
its their first time rearing.They have had
many many attempts at breeding over the years
weve had the pair,but sadly they never managed to
hatch any,that was until this year.On the 6th of
Aug 2011 we heared the squeaks coming from the
nest box.I was bouncing with joy,and didnt come
down off the high for days....lol.We have been
watching them on cctv every day since the
6th,worried they might not feed them.But we are
so pleased with their progress,and the chick/s
are
getting stronger every day.She dont do much of
the work though,and he seems to do 80% of it.She
always was lazy..lol.We will be putting the rings
on after the weekend,as they have to be
registered with D.F.R.A. due to them being cities
birds,and critically endangered in the wild.We
are keeping one baby ourselves (Well it is her
first) but all other babies will be available
once fully weaned.To reserve a baby,you should
contact us asap,as they will sell fast.
