At certain times of the day I have noticed a weird buzzing noise coming from the nest area and
in 2 of the nests there is an adult in there doing what I presume is feeding babies???? :thumbup:
I don't want to shine a torch in them for fear of disturbing them.
Also the adults are now going potty over any greens I put in the cages!
:o They still won't touch the egg n biscuit mix or the crumbles but seeds & greens yup! :D

hopefully over the next couple of weeks we might see some babies come out ??!!

Oh and 1 set of baby parents have started laying in another nest!

Its all action over here ! rofl

I'd say you've definitely got young ones. Just keep up the greens. There's also plenty of green seeding grasses around still at the moment.

the zebs I used to keep loved chicory.

Chicory has the added bonus of staying fresher for longer.

All my birds now live off the stuff.

Good luck with the little ones and please post some photos.
