Even if you dont have a clutch of the same head colour its worth putting the youngsters in another nest. You could mark their legs with a stripe of texta. Ive been told you can get a non toxic semi permanent marker for marking livestock.

Good to see. You could be right about the curious Gouldians being the problem with the painted chicks too. As i have had them (curious Gouldians) put Bengos off nesting. :shifty:
