I finally have gouldians sitting on 2 eggs

It's a good feeling ay, what colors are the parents??

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.

Shame Diane, I've never had young throwm from the nest yet.Actually having a good year. About to put away all the nest boxes for the season. Have 30 young which is enough.

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.

good luck with those eggs Jay
very nice Will, plenty of youngsters for you.
ouch Diane, hope things improve.
no complaints here, over 30 fledglings so far and another 20 odd in nests that I know of
