I Love their colours and personality, I've came face to face with one at a bird dealer and he surprised me with:
"HELLO", I nearly had a heart attack lol :thumbup:

Yeah, my 2 are real characters. Both very tame and placid, but the moment I'm near their log, look out!

There are a number of them at my work as well, one doesn't let me in or out of the aviary without a fight, while another doesn't let me in or out without a kiss! Both have very different backgrounds, but very funny birds. Hoping for the best with mine at home, they've been a great pair so far!

2 fertile eggs from a fella who didn't know what he had company for to begin with is good. :thumbup: Hope they get the raising bit right too.

That would have been a great surprise.

All the best with the eggs hatching and parents rearing the chicks.

Thanks venetta and canary. Haven't run into Kay or her husband to tell them yet. They are my neighbours for those wondering, and gave me my hen.

Checked the eggs again and 3 of the 4 are definitely fertile!
First egg could be hatching as early as this Sunday! Exciting!
