Spring is here...

Spring is here and all of the sudden flowers are everywhere.  Breeding season for gouldians is ending, but societies, cordon blues, shaft tails, purple grenadiers, star finches, owls, parrot finches, and the grasskeets are still on going.  I'm always glad of new babies.

New baby pictures

The normal scarlets are back in the nest.  Red and Scarlet has 5 fertile eggs.  Coral and Blush also have at least 5 eggs, not sure how many are fertile since Blush is sitting very tight.

Still having new species of finches raising babies - split to fawn owl male with normal hen pair has 5 fertile eggs, purple grenadier have laid eggs (fingers definitely crossed), a pair of red faced stars hatched 2 babies, various societies are raising babies, and the white javas have laid eggs again.  The sea green parrot finch pair have been very prolific.  They've already fledged 7 babies from 2 clutches already.  The red faced parrot finch pair have finally finished molting - seems to be interested in the nests now.  The forbes pair isn't having great luck - they chose a nest right next to the stars and are being chased away often.  I will let them try again since the stars are busy feeding their babies, but may have to give them their own flight cage to breed in.
