If they bred for you straight away, and not for the previous owner. You obviously do everything right by them.

gday tintola, what's the latest with your new wrens?
we need another fix here in cyberspace....
hope the fledglings are independent and going strong.

Thanks for the interest C.C.
Round 1- two chicks
Round 2- two chicks
Round 3- two chicks hatched but dead and removed by parents the next day
Round 4- three chicks hatched but dead and removed by parents the next day
The last two nests were in bad rainy weather and getting cold, so there were not as many insects/moths being attracted to the night light as there were in the warmer months. One of the fledged chicks disappeared, so the headcount at the moment is the parents and three independent young. I've done an article on them in the latest Aviary Life mag which came out about a week ago. http://www.aviarylife.com.au/

Steady progress is always good to see. Pity about the losses, but that is life.

Update, While I was away my house sitter did such a good job that when I returned home two more young were in the nest and have now fledged. The older three young are all males. Anyone got a spare hen?
