As we posted right before Christmas, our Cockatiels Tweezer and Piper had started nesting and had laid 4 eggs. On either Dec 20 late of 21 early, Beaker was born. On Christmas Eve, Kringle hatched. On the 28th the third baby hatched. We have been trying to figure out a name for him but we keep vetoing each others picks so he's just known as pee wee right now. Fits since he is considerably smaller than his older siblings.
Anyway, in the beginning Tweezer and Piper were very protective of the babies. Now that they are a whopping 2 weeks old, they have become mellow laid back parents and allowed us to hold the two older chicks for the first time.
This is a closeup of Kringle, the second born
And this is the two of them - Beaker is on the left, Kringle the right. Beaker is by FAR the most vocal of the trio. The parents seemed to breath a sigh of relief that we took him out of the nest for a bit..lol
We didn't handle Pee Wee yet. We will probably wait until he gets a bit bigger.

But PeeWee is a good name too.
