Cordons didnt lay - they go in and out of the nest, but no eggs. Plenty of singing!
The saint Helenas built a nest, incubated, and I heard chicks several days in a row - but not these last two... :think: time will tell.
Parrot finches building and gouldians on eggs (expected to hatch around the middle of next week :) )
Jacarinis built and laid, but the spot they chose is directly in front of the main entry - so they had to get off when I went in to change the water and food, so that nest didnt last long before they got fed up.

Thanks Jay.
From what I've read most breeders say 18 months to 2 years before Cordons settle down and will breed. I dont know what to believe at this stage, I guess TIME will tell :lolno: :lolno: :lol: :lol:
