yeh desertbirds I do keep grasswrens and scubwrens I have blackbreasted quail, redchested and little button quail. Most this year had a difficult time with the funny weather , every time they went down or were sitting they got washed out. Its funny but where some birds hated the weather other birds ie banded plovers inland dotterals and woodswallows all bred profusely. All I have to do now is get my pied stilts to breed, anybody got some males as I require at least 2. I also am chasing a male eastern whipbird for a frustrated hen. the yabbies are on the run for the first time in years the river is up and looking at its best since 92
