I assume you mean 2 painteds fledged - well done Nathan! They'll often spend much of the first few days on the ground.

Yeah, so far I've only seen them on the ground and on the food bin (closed lid, of course). The parents seem very protective, when I went in to clean the water and food the parents went strait to the babies on the floor and were calling alot. I won't be able to check on them again untill monday afternoon. Will they be fine by themselves untill then?

Okay, I haven't been able to check on them untill this morning, but the two Painted Fledglings are going well, and the Orange-breasted Waxbills are sitting on eggs :)

The two baby painteds are going well, and the two adult painteds are on eggs again! Scarlet-chested Parrots giving it another go, Orange-breasted Waxbill still sitting tight, got one of the broody chooks to sit on the eggs that the ducks have consitantly rejected, and the tadpoles we had are all turning into frogs :)
