Emblema hatchling

[Diane]

My emblema fledged yesterday and I have not seen it leave the floor of the aviary yet. Checked out the feet and legs and everything looks ok. Is this normal?

Sounds like it has fledged a couple of days to soon, i had a parson do that so i put it back into the nest and it came out a couple of days later, Congrats on the baby and good luck

I tried putting it back in the nest a couple of times this morning but it came back out again, so I left it out untill I went out to close everything down, its safely in the nest....last time I looked.

Also had 5 goudlians fledge today...probably due to me being in there more than usual stomping around trying to get that emblema back in the nest.

Sounds like you have a regular breeding station going on there Diane

They have just gone nuts since I got them. From checking different sources 3 clutches seems to be the accepted then separate them.

they do spend alot of time on the floor.I would say it is not abnormal.

Yeh mine just had 4 infertile eggs.
Have to wait for them to try again.

Update: Emblema hatchling still prefers the floor. 5 days now

Know how that feels.

I love the call the male emblema makes......sounds like a broken spring on a cartoon show!
