turqs

The yellow turquoisine grasskeets are finally looking like they are breeding.  They were fighting a lot right before they were more amorous.  Having read this was likely and does not affect fertility, I left them alone.  Shortly thereafter, the hen started accepting feedings from the male and they were mating frequently.  The hen is spending more and more time in the nest, I hope this means she's sitting tight on the eggs.  I have been reluctant to check in the nest since it's hung high up in my ginormous flight cage.  I may give in after a week or so when they are both out of the nest since I do want to candle the eggs to make sure they are fertile.  I have been watching the hen carefully daily since she did have a bout of bacterial infection a few months ago.

 Here is my bachelor split to yellow turquoisine male.  I should be getting a yellow hen for him soon.  His feathers is a lot better now after molting and improved nutrition.  

Here's the male yellow turquoisine.
