Is that at the time as ur 3? You are one crazy woman! Must be nice though I loved handrearing one of our pups despite the worry at times if he would make and lossing a little bitch we were also handrearing but two were knackering enough, with so many it must be a on going cycle as soon as you finish feeding the last one you'll have to start on the first again!

Hannah i have 3 greenwinged coming next week,but they are just for a week
and then the day before my 3 come out to be handreared i,m getting 3 scarlets to rear too
it is really tiring but i love doing it so much
and yes it will be a neverending cycle as they all need to be fed every 4 hours
i,m just hoping the BB housemates keep me entertained in between shifts cos if i go asleep i doubt i,ll wake up again

I want a scarlet macaw so i am soooooo jealous of you jackie!!!
I dont think i could handrear them though, i know how much work it takes and i just dont think i could do it!! And you did such a great job with the last little baby, so you must be very good at it!! But you are definately completely mad
