New scarlet babies and bobcats
All girls from my normal and lutino scarlet pair. They should all be normals, but interestingly the babies from this pair has an overall paler appearance than my other normal babies - very pretty.

New and old babies...
It has been ridiculously hot this summer in TX - >100 deg F for a month now without a bit of rain. AC has to be kept on all day just to keep the temperature in the green house at a reasonable 87 deg in the lower cages and toasty 94 deg higher up. Most of the birds are resting in this heat, but some do not seem to mind.

Summer progress
 |
| white fronted blue splendid male |
A sad day - I lost one of my white fronted blue splendid parakeet. He was only 1 year old and just got all his adult feathers. He was also split to lutino, and I had high hopes to breed him in the next season. It's always sad to lose such a sweet beautiful bird.

On a brighter note, my new normal mature male splendid was just what my lutino hen needed. They already have 2 eggs in the nest.

| splendid baby |
Scarlet and Red has another only child. This will be their last clutch this round.
Coral and Blush's 4 babies are weaned - I'm keeping a close eye just to make sure everyone is fully weaned and eating well.
