You think that you got a surprise!!! Two months ago I took out all the Gouldian nest boxes as I had bred too many and wanted to give them a break. Yesterday morning there were six just fledged youngsters on the perch. The parents had found a small half log on the aviary floor and had lined it with pine needles that had fallen through the roof. Must keep a closer eye on things in the future. :roll:

You poor bugger...

I'll just put it out there...this bird may help my flock...Different blood lines etc...It does look extremely healthy!!!
Are you going to Singleton...maybe we can chat & exchange birds for dollars?....

It's a thought...
