My gouldians are a bit later this year as I didnt put the nesting boxes in till late due to lack of space. I have OB's ready to fledge any day, and a nest of, I think three possibly four emblemas. RFPF have eggs, as do two pair of ruddies. Will be adding the nest box to the aviary with the BFPF hopefully today, so will see how that works out.

I bought a new feeder yesterday but I cant get it in the aviary yet as Im waiting for the OB's to fledge as their nest is right next to where I want the feeder.

I'm in the US and breed indoors so I don't really have a set breeding season, but I currently have 14 babies between technically three pairs. The clutch of 8 has four babies from four fostered eggs from a separate pair that was laying and laying but never incubating.

Clutch of 8 - Luckily three of them are yellow so I know they came from the foster pair. The 4th is a normal and is blending in with the fostered babies, but the fosters will all be BH and the biological babies will all be RH so once they start to molt I'll finally know who came from the foster parents ;)

Clutch of 6 - Four OH Yellow/?Blues, two OH Silvers
