So sorry for your loss, but that cock bird sounds like a keeper! He did really well raising the babies on his own. :D

Well done Joe. I had silverbills when I was younger and always enjoyed them. Unfortunately we don't have indian silverbills here any more and even the africans are pretty rare.

Always sad to lose a bird. But great when you discover that you have a diamond in the remaining parent.
