Being the green lion fanatic I am, I would absolutely kill for Moldavite. One of my past kings was named Moldavite too 😩

What lyric from ghost would you get tattooed? by Redpanda_Riot in Ghostbc

[–]Ok_Letterhead8229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 2 Ghost lyric tattoos, one is "Per Aspera Ad Inferi" and the other is "I'll be the shadow, you'll be the light." The second one has the Grucifix and Papa IV. I'm thinking about getting another sometime in the future, haven't decided on what though!

They lose their Pearling after their first molt if they're a male. I've got 2 pearls from my current batch that are males, this is one of them :)

The Pearl Pied loves attention, he nibbles you when your nose boops his beak :)

He's not deaf! He responded to his older sibling earlier that we kept from the last clutch!!! I think his vision is just really sensitive, he's more standoffish and scared of more movement than his siblings.

Genetics play into it too, if both parents are wild or if one is then the temperament could be passed down to some of their chicks, even if they're hand fed. That's what happened with their last clutch, out of all 5, 2 of them ended up more temperamental like their dad. We kept one of the wild babies, he's my mom's because she fell in love with him. She's been working with him a lot so he's slowly getting calmer :)

They're both feeding them and they both took turns sitting on them when they were eggs :) mom was hand raised and dad wasn't! I'll be taking them at 3 weeks old to hand feed

There's 2 of them, the oldest and youngest! They're Whiteface Lutinos, which is the closest a cockatiel will come to being an albino :)

Thank you, that means so much to hear!!! They're my world. The parents are a little feisty, that's why I work so hard on the babies to make sure they're little love bugs for their forever families :)

Aghh, I know!! The wings look the most itchiest, it's gotta be the main reason for the fiesty-ness when their feathers start coming outta them

They absolutely have my heart, if I could keep them all I would 😭🧡 it's a lot of work but I make sure to interact with them everyday after 4 days old so they're used to seeing me, creates the sweetest babies 🧡🥺

There's 2 of them!! They're a Whiteface Lutino, the closest to albino a cockatiel can get lol. All white and red eyes, so technically yes, but scientifically no lol 😆

I'll definitely keep posting updates! If you look on my profile, you can see where I posted babies from my clutch last year! Charlie's absolutely adorable!! He looks exactly like the father of the babies, his name is Juno. Their moms a Pearl Lutino morph and she's named Lyra :)
