havent been able (or game enough) to try and peek into this pairs nest. but I can hear the racket being made by the youngsters from 10m away.
stood outside the aviary watching for 10 minutes and they didnt stop, even with both parents going in & out feeding them continuously.
it actually appeared like the parents were going from feed dish to nest then back again. wish I could peek, just want to know how many and roughly how old guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer

Always great to hear the first young ones of the season. I can't help myself and always have a look to see what's going on. Seems I have lots of yellows coming my way.

My gouldians are on eggs at the moment - they are normals. Wish i lived closer I would love a pair or two of the yellows. My favourite is the yellow headed white breasted yellow.
