They are the most endearing little birds. Years ago I obtained five birds and ended up with over thirty. They can raise four or five young to a clutch unlike the larger species that only have two. You will grow very attached to them.

They never sit still long enough to get a photo but I will try ....
They sure are endearing little buggers . They were suppose to go into an aviary but with this cold weather I dont know what to do .
How different is the climate in Cessnock to Dubbo ?
Oh and surprise surprise they got the projectile pooping down pat ...ewwwwww

OK not the best photos but I dont know the body language of these birds and can not tell if they are stressed by me or not ....
