Disappearing Young
Posted: 24 Jan 2017, 11:52
I have a pair of Red Siskins that have fledged two lots of 2 this summer and the hen was sitting again on 4 eggs. Two days ago 3 of them hatched
and today when I put in some grasses the young had gone,disappered from the nest. I could not see them on the ground.
There is a pair of red cheek cordons in with them and the last 2 siskens that fledged were also still in the aviary, nothing had changed from when the last pair fledged.I dont think that it was vermin, any thoughts?
Cheers
