Today i had 3 baby Gouldians jump out of there nest.(1 egg was infertile).
This is the second clutch from my pair of Gouldians,the first clutch i only got 1 baby fledge.
All babies are doing well flying around the avairy.
One of the babies has a few feathers missing from his shoulders,i think from the parents wanting him out of the nest...
I did notice something strange,one of the babies was chirping for food and a Zebra Hen came down and fed him.???????

Got some good pics

I think some birds must be triggered by the begging and want to feed. At least you know those babies wont go short on food if the zeb is feeding too!

Nice young,and congrates so please tell me how did you get three young out of one fertile egg lol see you garyh

Very good Harvey, nice healthy looking young and parents also look great. Maybe some more young to come.

Can i clean the nest out because the parents are going in it.They might start laying eggs again.
The babies are not in the nest tonight but mum and dad close by.

Good on you Harvey, the babies are beautiful, as is your aviary, you and your dad should really be proud!

Looking good Harv

Great work Harvey.

Well done young fella,all your hard work is paying off.
25% of all profits should go to your Dad.

Well done Harvey, you should be very proud of the great job you are doing with your birds
