Thanks to BGould I acquired three pair of Yellow-rumps a few months back and they've fledged three young already. They built in a brush filled wire basket and it appears they're starting to sit again :thumbup:
I have noticed a fair bit of 'aggression' between the pairs (just a bit of hardcore chasing) so maybe splitting them up into ajoining aviaries will allow the other pairs to breed.
Anyways heres some pics and thanks again to BGould :wave:

Congratulations, nice looking young. And now they have picked their mates, and you can see who is who, seperating them into different avairys sounds like the go. Good luck with breeding even more in the future.

These guys were basically non-existent in Qld aviaries and very scarce elsewhere until the early '70's

A mate of mine who used to do a bit of trapping brought a few back from the 'territory', where he swapped wild caught Pictorellas for them.

He bred a stack, as a colony, in a large aviary which was essentially wholly planted with Guinea grass . . they loved it

GG's efforts saw Yellowrumps become reasonably available in Qld by the mid '70's . . but later they declined in numbers, probably because of the 'brown bird syndrome'

I think that they are great little birds
