They squeal like that whether they are full or empty. And they tend to call more at night than during the day. I have been under the weather this last week with all kinds of problems and the couch has been the most comfortable place to sleep. Well, that hasn't worked out as those babies squeal ALL NIGHT LONG! At first I would get up and check on them at every peep thinking something has to be wrong. Nope, they are just wiggling all around and squealing. It finally dawned on me, funny thing is this... it is the same sound that Skittles made all night long while she was sitting on the eggs. I called it singing to her babies and I read this is very common.

They are Caiques through and through!

Curious as to how many ccs/mls you are feeding them at each feeding and how long it takes for their crops to empty at that age. Have any problems getting up during the night to feed or in falling back asleep? I know it can be rough at times.

Hi Joel,

Well they are 3 weeks old now so no more middle of the night feedings. They are eating about 3cc and 2.5cc every 4 hours 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm, 11pm. Morning weight yesterday morning was 28g and 23g. They are doing great, growing like weeds, and I expect their eyes to open this week. Only down side I have found to raising them is their incredible voice! Woo Wee are they loud! I'll take pictures this morning when they are up. They are quiet now and I don't want to wake them.

I have two babies myself but they are 8 weeks young. They are indeed very loud and hungry all the time. I feed them 4 times at day at 15 - 18 cc. Boy they pump hard. Have lots of fun.

Here they are this morning Pre-feeding...



And after feeding....



They are getting bigger but not really changing in appearance as far as I can notice.
