Matty
Doing well, selectively feeding itself. Will only eat thawed blueberries, red beans, sultanas, the rest still has to be hand fed to ensure that all nutritional requirements are met,(chickpeas, coffee berries, other fruits etc.) Looks normal until feed time then reverts to a pathetic, hangdog, droopy winged waif. Photo update tomorrow. D.N.A. results in about two weeks.Thanks for asking.

Great work, T. Looking forward to the pics.

Just beautiful, Tintola, well done.
The bald head makes him look a bit vulturine, but I know (s)he'll do an 'ugly duckling' transformation in due course.
Thanks for the update.

The photo of your termite mound orphans remound me of this Wompoo.
(S)he must be fully fledged by now. Did you get the DNA back?
Hope you and your Wompoo are happy and well,
