Jusdeb, you are "Big Mama," to your babies, and I really believe there is not much you don't know, in way of taking care of babies and feeding them. I am certain the babies you are raising now are getting that TLC, and will be beautiful!

They're on the Australian list, and have certainly been seen on the mainland... Not in places close to people either, so little chance of them being ferals.

They are a hard bird to see and I think they are reasonably hard to flush. My dad is a serious twitcher and has only seen them once at bushells lagoon in Sydney.
