Gouldian Nesting Question
Posted: 07 Mar 2010, 17:23
I have had a pair of of Gouldians that have gone down, with six eggs and should have been due to hatch this week. Today both were out of the nest box, so I thought I would have a peak and see what was happening. When I looked into the nest box all six eggs were gone 
I couldn't work out what had happened, but soon realized that they had began to build over the the top of the eggs. I was not pleased, I can tell you 
Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else, had come across this before and has any suggestions
Also do I need to get the old eggs out
What a pain, but such is keeping birds.
On happier not, I have two pairs with young in the nest a present, 3 should fledge any day and the other 4 might be a week away
