Mo


Mo has grown to be a beautiful boy and he's the most vocal. His parents are rather skittish and not as responsive. Perhaps thats' why people rather start with chicks - because they tend to be less wild.
He's from the first successful clutch, the only one I kept, gave his siblings to my ex-boss, the snowman who after some months got the birds and cage stolen from his terrace house. It's ridiculous but it happened. I can only hope that they are still fine, with whosoever that stole them.
Cockatiels will not survive on our streets simply because we have super crows who wouldn't let them go. I remember once, when I put Mo's dad, Cocktail out for some sun and a crow attacked his cage - it was fortunate that I did firmly secure the cage.
Anyways, Mo's parents just laid another 3 eggs - I'm not sure if they will hatch - since they went through 3 egg-laying sessions before we actually saw chicks that were healthy enough to survive.
It won't be long more before we know if Mo will have more siblings - let's wait.
