Bleeding hearts

[Jayburd]

What a cutie !!!
Can you sex them at this age?

[Tintola]

Only by DNA.

[arthur]

Or if you know their christian names . . . though that method is a bit unreliable these days

[Tintola]

Christian names? Given names or first names please! We can't go assigning a religion to them at this age, despite the fact that we do it to our own children. Although the "bleeding heart" would lean toward Christianity.

[Trilobite]

some of this years babies, 6th pair in a row and one of the junveniles almost fully coloured, beauty and the beast syndrome really.

[Tintola]

Have you left all the young in with the parents?

[Trilobite]

No, what I tend to do (right or wrong- advice gladly taken) is to leave the the newly fledge young in the aviary until the next set of eggs hatch and are almost ready to fledge and then transfer to a holding cage. Seems to work although sometimes I think they are a bit little however they are fully independant, eating and roosting by themselves etc etc.

Trilobite, Let me know when you have the babies sexed as I need two boys.
