Hi everyone thanks for the comments, their are no chicks that i know of yet but the zebs will not get of the nest so I can have a peek, the nesting material is coconut fibre and feathers, Unfortunatly i woke up today and found one of my Red Fronted Turks dead in the corner outside in the avairy, the male Bourke seems to have been responsible as he has been harassing him all the time and probably would not have let him in to roost. This is the second Red front I have lost and will now try again for next year with another cock. My bangos have laid three eggs but two were outside nest and broke, the Emblemas are starting to settle a bit but that female is still very flighty sometimes, thats all for now, cheers Bob.
