Yay! Quail! They are such cute babies.
Yes, my ugly bugs will be ugly until their feathers start to open out (at about 3 weeks of age). Soon they'll look like porcupines as they will be covered in pin feathers (I was going to say hedgehogs but you guys don't have them there). I think they are cute but they are my babies - love truly is blind.
I 2nd (or 3rd) the gorgeousness of that EE. She's a beauty.
Those are our cockatiel chicks. The older one has started hissing today if it's a bit unsure about a noise (which puts it on track developmentally which is always reassuring). It's starting to get a bit of a personality. The younger one is still a sleepy blob but it is 2 days younger. Its crop was so full this afternoon it was almost as big as the rest of it (it had almost doubled in size).
Poor baby! Sending lots of love and hugs your way.

Hope tomorrow isn't too awful for you.
