THESE ADORABLE BABIES CAME INTO PARROT HAVEN ON 8/14/05. THE PARENTS WERE NOT FEEDING THE RUNT OF THE CLUTCH SO BOTH WERE PULLED AND ARE BEING HANDFED EVERY 1-2 HOURS, 2-7 CC'S EACH. THESE BABIES ARE FOR SALE. WHAT A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO BOND WITH A BABY UMBRELLA COCKATOO, HELPING TO HANDFEED FROM SUCH A YOUNG AGE. THE BABIES WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL WEANED, BUT PROSPECTIVE BUYERS MAY SEND INQUIRIES TO PARROTCLUBS@AOL.COM. PICS WERE TAKEN FROM THE MOMENT THEY ARRIVED AT PARROT HAVEN, SO WHOEVER TAKES THESE BABIES WILL HAVE WONDERFUL PICTORIAL MOMENTOS OF THEIR BABIES AS THEY GROW, FEATHER OUT, AND TAKE THEIR FIRST STEPS.

 SORRY TO SAY THAT THE SMALLER BABY WAS STUNTED AND DIED AFTER A FEW DAYS. HE MUST HAVE BEEN IN A LOT OF PAIN, ALWAYS CRYING, BUT HE WAS A FIGHTER AND DID TRY TO HANG ON.. HE WAS ALWAYS COLD, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS IN A WARM INCUBATOR, AND HIS SKIN WAS JAUNDICED. MERLIN, SURVIVED, AND IS DOING WONDERFULLY. HE IS IN A NEW HOME, WITH HIS MOM, LINDA. HIS WEIGHT IS UP TO 570 GRAMS AND AT 2 MONTHS HE WAS ON ONLY 15 TO 20 CC'S A FEEDING, 3 TIMES A DAY. WHAT A DIFFERENCE FROM A BABY MACAW.
