Thanks, Zebs being Zebs they already have two nests of young again. This time no snake hopefully.

Parsons , Stars , WE Masks , Purple Crowned & Little Lorikeets ...over the last 2 months or so.........BFPFs and YRumps are doing stuff but not quite into a rhythm........

i have tanimbars nesting and just fledged a lone ruddy from some old birds.

hoping to breed my grenadiers and cubans...

Hello.

Cam ask ?

Is there anyone who breeding White ear Maskfinches.?

Regards Ger.

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.
waar zit op dat groot continent ? als ik vragen mag.
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?
