I seem to be having a quite a run of babies at the moment.
The emblema quartet are now fledged, emblema hen is already back on yet another nest (this time she went for ready built!
)
OB built their own nest and now have babies in there, can hear them.
I also have two gouldian young, will be RHs there is still a couple of eggs in the nest too.
The two BFPF young shouldnt be long in fledging and it seems that the cock bird is already chasing the hen.

This fine morning has enticed one of the OB young out of the nest, there is still at least two more waiting in the wings. Got four gouldians due out this weekend too.
Edited...looks like three OB young..all out on the perch.

strike one of the OB young. I guess the combination of being the last egg laid and trying to fledge on the same day as your older siblings was too much for the little guy.
He had been tucked in between his siblings last thing yesterday, with Dad on sentry duty.
