Aussie Finch Forum

So does anyone have any gouldian hatchlings yet? I think I have 1 pair with some good eggs this time around. Fingers crossed! As usual, my other pair has about 10 clear eggs I need to throw out. Quite frustrating but at least they are showing signs.

Not yet (she says with fingers crossed!) There are four pairs with eggs so hopefully soon.

I have 5 hatchlings from a white breasted yellow pair - it is their first time as parents so I am a bit nervous for them!
( some surprise painted babies in the aviary and four little red cheeked cordon babies from first timers also now almost independant - hoping the gouldians follow on )

I have a hatchling. I tempted fate and had a sneak peek after hearing some screeching.
Only one, but this is the first time this pair has sat.
I am pretty happy at the moment, with that.

Great stuff guys. Here's hoping for a great breeding season for all!

I've had 3 hatchlings so far from 2 pair, atm 1 pair have nestlings, 2 pair are on eggs and another pair are nest building.

so far have had 8 fledge, from two nests and the parents hav already gone back in for rd 2.
have 3 other nests with 13 young in them altogether, all around 2 weeks old.
red faced p/f's had 4 fledge yesterday, aviaries are pretty noisy at present

Rub it in, why don't ya.

To rub it in further, I have fledged and weaned 22 young goulds with lots more eggs and chicks. Also fledged 3 young Tri-colours yesterday and the hen has already layed her first egg in a new nest, 3 pairs of st helenas with eggs/chicks, black headed nuns nesting, tri nuns due to hatch any day and painted finches sitting on eggs. Love this time of year!

Wow, they must really like their aviaries. Are they all together?
