Had around a dozen Gouldian eggs over a few nests in temporary aviary, moved them all this morning birds & boxes into newly finished much larger aviary so will wait over next few days to see if any eggs are added to current boxes or they start sitting or making new nests, not sure how they will go finding there previous eggs & boxes etc but it was a risk I had to take......

Ive got about 12 gouldian young on the perch, in the nest and eggs. Ive had one clutch of ob young and have more in the nest. Emblema have had one clutch, four on the perch now and the hen already has another four eggs. Another star producer of young has been the BFPF, they had a clutch of 2, another of three, and two have just left the nest a day or so ago. RFPF nothing from them but I saw the cock making the nest to his liking today, so fingers crossed. Got a pair of ruddies too but they havnt produced yet.

:oops: How could I forget my quail have babies too. I dont think I have ever seen anything that small that is fully functional, running around eating seed. Very cute.
