My emblema fledged yesterday and I have not seen it leave the floor of the aviary yet. Checked out the feet and legs and everything looks ok. Is this normal?

Sounds like it has fledged a couple of days to soon, i had a parson do that so i put it back into the nest and it came out a couple of days later, Congrats on the baby and good luck

I tried putting it back in the nest a couple of times this morning but it came back out again, so I left it out untill I went out to close everything down, its safely in the nest....last time I looked.

Also had 5 goudlians fledge today...probably due to me being in there more than usual stomping around trying to get that emblema back in the nest.

Sounds like you have a regular breeding station going on there Diane

They have just gone nuts since I got them. From checking different sources 3 clutches seems to be the accepted then separate them.

they do spend alot of time on the floor.I would say it is not abnormal.

Well done Diane on the Emblema's.

Thanks Will 3rd times the charm!!

Yeh mine just had 4 infertile eggs.
Have to wait for them to try again.

Update: Emblema hatchling still prefers the floor. 5 days now

Know how that feels.

I love the call the male emblema makes......sounds like a broken spring on a cartoon show!
