Ok, so it's not a snake baby...and technically rats and mice are born here all the time...but...

first baby cockatiel of the year! Out of first time parents no less! Knowing mom and dad are both pearls and mom is a pastelface, with dad being whiteface. A baby with yellow fuzz tells me this one will be a pastelface pearl. But for now, little one is just a fuzzy yellow strange looking creature... many people call this ugly, I call it cute as can be! Note the egg tooth on this one! Daddy was so aggressive about staying in the nest box I literally had to wall him off to one side for these photos. So he sat there hissing at me and letting me know I was lucky to get away with these shots without losing a couple fingers and my nose...LOL! So here they are, enjoy the photos. I took several more, but these three turned out the best.
