Aussie Finch Forum

Hi everyone, just an update on whats been hapening the last while, Zebs are sitting on five eggs due to start hatching on sunday, cuthroats are sitting on at least one egg and doing it very well, bangos to my suprise are in fact male and female and they have layed two eggs so far but one was broke on floor?. Have also purchased pair of emblemas and they are settling in ok except female is a bit flighty and she needs to calm down, my bourke parrot has just begin to sit as well, bye for now cheers Bob.

hope all goes well with your birds Bob

good lucky with the birds bob

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.

Good luck Bob , keep us updated when they hatch
