well done, Im hoping the red face parrot finch pair I have will finally decide which nest to lay eggs in out of the three or four they have built.

Hope they are still doing well, I can't match you for degree of diffculty - I I've only had a couple of zebs out lately myself but I've high hopes for a 10 day old diamond sparrow making it.

It certainly is exciting, well done. I am still excited about my four orange Breasted chicks and now I have found hatchings for Ruddies. They had all better stop soon with winter coming up. Apart from two red faced parrots mid last year it has been a lean time for the aviary. :)
