Well done!
Not doing so well here this year with the gouldians. I have 5 gouldian fledglings from one pair, then the hen died.
Realised another pair had babies yesterday, then found them on the floor this morning. Stone cold.

The parents are a black headed normal hen, and a white chested black head cock.

This is young pair so hopefully they get their act together.
When did you put your nest boxes in? Last year I had babies from March to August this year I was late getting the boxes in due to space, or rather lack of it.
30 young, well done.
