You know what? Meet noggin

Noggin is a tiny bird that I really thought was very deformed. I did not take photos of what he originally looked like because it was sad. Dude hatched himself and I was shocked when I saw him.

Now noggin is fine. I see no reason to put him down. I think his noggin bump will eventually just go away on it’s own because that’s what it’s already doin.

I’m posting because I’m damn proud of little noggin. Blue arrow is pointing to noggins bump. I am keeping him forever. Already have his house made.

This is him yelling at me because I am not holding him. He likes to be held. He fits in the palm of my hand.

Yes I know he is butt ugly but I like him so I don’t care.

Noggin has a friend now

Edit

That’s them literally getting excited over another one that hatched. They like each other. All of those eggs are trying to hatch.

And it’s okay that they do this, run around and peck the other eggs and sit on the newly hatched ones. they’re encouraging each other.

The one running up to the new baby first is noggin

I bet you can’t spot the noggin

If you’re wondering about the water, those are pebbles to prevent drowning.

Edit: they are Coturnix quail.

Pharaohs.

And noggin had some issues walking, I noticed he walked weird but it started to get so much worse, but it’s all good now.

If you’re wondering, that’s tape on his legs to train them into the right position.

He’d try so hard to walk he’d get tired

Standing tall now. Can run, jump, and play just like the rest.

He jus needed a bit of help and some tape.

And also, the bump on his head seems to just be drying up and going away. I have never seen that before but I guess it was just some growth that will disappear over time. Doesn’t seem to bother him any.

Lol his little butt is higher than his head. He looks like a fluffy dinosaur. 😂😂

Edit: I think this is cute. My so freaking loves him. He’s scared to mess with them because they are so small he doesn’t want to hurt them so I have to pick them up for him. I woke up today and my so was like “can I hold noggin?” 😂

EDIT: since there’s people still commenting, here’s an update on noggin. He’s going through bird puberty

Edit: I think it’s only been a day but he’s already bigger than this now

Here’s a picture of his head that earned him his name

This is him looking fabulous
