Goldys hatched their first young. They tossed a dead egg yesterday so i was relieved to see this guy today. The other 2 fertile eggs are under my spare yellow siskin hen.
Hope the heat dont kill them.
5 out of 5 eggs were full which isnt bad from a wild pair purchased in april.

In our area we have heaps. In my new estate all the mid size trees hold nests and young. I got these guys from a sale so they are more than likely Melbourne Birds.finchbird2015 wrote:Hiya elferoz777 do you have many wild goldfinches in your area? we get the odd one in our section now and again, see heaps when we go mountain biking tho.As for your rogue zeb i know what i would do with it
The rogue zeb has been isolated. Unfortunately for me i cant pee him off as his got the best red colour.
