It doesnt seem that long ago that the gouldian breeding season finished ( mine were breeding up until October ) now it has started all over again.
I have only kept 8 pair of gouldians , but they have now all mated and 3 pair have nested producing a total of 15 eggs.
I live not far from Sydney and was wondering if people from other areas were having the same results as me?

Cheers
Framed.

I hope to be.
Re arranged and paired them differently so nothing yet.
But definate interest, feather blowing and singing.

I have 11 pairs that I set up early January. The ferility check for the first 5 nests was 22 out of 28. Have 2 more nests just started incubating and 2 others nest building. Also have tri-colour parrot finches with young, sea greens just fledged their second clutch and 2 pair of fawn saints on eggs, so It's a pretty good start to the season.

only have 6 pairs set up this year, 5 pairs are sitting tight, cant get close to have a look due to other birds nesting in close proximity. 6th pair have 6 week old babies in the nest.
diamonds, rccb's, orange breasts, masked are all sitting as well. have my fingers crossed that the pictorellas, plumheads & chestnuts join the fun

Hey matt, you did say you were bringing those saints to canberra right?

I have longtails nest building, cordons starting to lay, and getting some zeb hens soon so here's hoping.

I have some sitting,and the first ones have already fledged for the year.

I have 2pairs in the nest at present and should with any luck hatch this week ;)

I have another 6pairs that I have only just put the nest boxes into the aviary's, so we will see what happens.

Great to so the birds getting really active though. Nearly all the hens beaks are black, so they should be ready to go

I got babies rite now first time ver wooohooo!!! I live in hurstville. Bout time the weather got good!

Only have some Slate zebras going, and in the Gouldians the Yellows have started laying with one pair sitting and the Blues a pair have 3 young mayb 1 more egg that is fertile out of the 6 and i am about to put the 2nd Blue hen in after i have been treating her. And the Pastel and Yellow pair mayb close as well to laying unsure but they are lining the nest still now and then.
Longtails i have a young pair of mutations that i put together on the weekend so i will just see what happens. And i receive the rest of my mutations saturday morning cant wait it has been a long time waiting
