Very cute - I am surprised to see the quarrions in the background - there are very few parrots's I'd trust in a finch aviary and they aren't on my list!

Healthy looking youngsters.personally i wouldnt risk the cockatiels unless its a very large cage.I noticed your other post with the missing hen,that open ended pipe looks a likely spot for some type of critter,the sharp edges could also cause dramas for clumsy youngsters.sorry for being picky

Well done, healthy looking youngsters, I missed out this year, I had 2 quarrians in my aviary also and they kept pulling the nests apart. Not totally a bad thing in one way as the goulds were a bit young, they will be a better age to breed next year, and by then will have built another aviary to put the parrots in. Keep up the good work.
