They are the most endearing little birds. Years ago I obtained five birds and ended up with over thirty. They can raise four or five young to a clutch unlike the larger species that only have two. You will grow very attached to them. :thumbup:

They never sit still long enough to get a photo but I will try ....

They sure are endearing little buggers . They were suppose to go into an aviary but with this cold weather I dont know what to do .

How different is the climate in Cessnock to Dubbo ?

Oh and surprise surprise they got the projectile pooping down pat ...ewwwwww

Thanks GregH ...I bought slightly older birds ( over 12 months rather than under ) in the hope of a few youngins this year . Fingers crossed.
