Halfmoon conure babies

This year we had a surprise from a pair of our birds. The halfmoon conures, Ivy & Ki, don't travel and go to shows but they live with the rest of the flock here at Animal Wonders. They have lived with us since 2007 and this year they decided they wanted a family! Ivy laid 5 eggs, and 4 hatched out of their tiny little shells. They have spent the last 6 weeks growing feathers and learning how to use their strong feet to perch. Watching animals grow from day one always amazes me. They came into this world naked, blind, and utterly helpless and in just a few weeks they are ready to take on the world!
