have another nest full of little gouldians. maybe not so little going by the amount of noise coming from the nest. couldn't even peek into this nest if I wanted to ( I did try lol). they made it in one of my multi level nests and appear to have a passage way before the nesting chamber. they must have known I would try and peek

sure is nice to see them breeding.
managed to have a look using a mirror, looks to be 4 in the nest. my guess would be approx 2 weeks old.

it took a bit of getting used to. but it sure helps. hardest part was working out the best way to hold it to reflect light into the cage as well as letting me see in
one lesson I learnt real fast was not to use it if the parents are in the nest.
for some reason they tend to take an extreme dislike to what they believe to be another bird looking into their nest.
