We've had about 20 canaries fledge so far, as well as stars (red and yellow), BFPFs, OB waxys, RC cordons and the King Quail, of course.
The paints have done everything right, but are not getting any to fledge successfully because of these bloody cold and wet spells every other week (though I shouldn't complain about the rain; an inch last night after planting some apple trees that my wife had grafted during the year can only be good for them).

Groetjes, Ger.

Hallo Landgenoot.

Jou nederlands is beter als mijn Engels.

Ik vroeg het omdat er 4 jaar geleden nog wat koppels hier waren,maar nu is alles weg.uitgstorven zeg maar in nederland.

Hoor nog wat van je Groeten Ger.

[translation of Ger's for the Aussies:

Hello Fellow.

Your Dutch is better than my English.
where are you in that great continent? may I ask.
I asked (about white-ears) because four years ago, some pairs were here, but now they're all gone. Extinct in the Netherlands, they say.
greeting back at you, Ger]

Ger, I'm in the countryside in the southeast of NSW.
I've never kept masks at all, but I'm sure other forum members could tell you if there are many around.
We have lost a lot of birds to our hobby here, too, since import bans came in.

How are your crimsons?
