Hi to All,checked on my 3babies this morning to find all dead in the nest,all 3crops were full, the night was not cold and they were covered anyway,any possible ideas what could have happened Would be much appreciated,thanks peter.

Sounds like it could be night frights if they are outside. Cats, mice or even geckos can frighten the parents off the nest and not go back so the babies get cold and die even with full crops. It's also very late in the season for gouldians and the parents should be starting the moulting process.

Thanks heaps for that.
