Plummies, Yellow Rumps, Bullies, and D/Bars have all gone into nest mode the last couple of days...struggling to keep the grasses up to them although some improvising and stripping the foxtail grass....Either the seasons are changing or the new brush has stirred things up....bit of both, my guess!

Great to hear the Owls are nesting....did they end up as two pairs (want some more?) Mine too are nesting in the new growth as are the Nuts, OBs, Ruddies and Zebs. Your Stars are on eggs and your Mr Plum is doing bobbing dance with new mrs Plum so signs are good. Like you methinks the new scrub is coinciding with the weather....rgds

Such a good time of year.....

Jamie, not sure about the sexes....there is a dominant pair, another cock bird who is getting in the way and the fourth is yet to be determined! Glad the stars are sitting....mine abandoned their second nest for the season. Can't quite pinpoint reason but aviary is a bit busy....

Henry, must be noisy! Well done!

Such high hopes early on has resulted in just one young Bullie and today, three young Plummies. The young Plummies were joined by three young RFPF so I am not complaining HOWEVER, thought I was going to have 10 of each flying about by now.....good fun this finching thing!!!! Getting very hot here on the Coast with little rain so my guess is that things will quieten down even further.....

seasons changed a while ago up here in Brisbane, have fledged red faced ptyllias, ruddies, green singers, crimsons, orange breasts, plumheads, golden song sparrows, bleeding hearts, and claifornia quail all in the last few weeks. The only things that has fired off this season are the tricolour parrot finches.
