Sorry to hear things have been tough, but hang in there, the year is almost over and 2009 and will be here with brand new luck!! :hap:

If THAT is what I did when I was bored late at night, in no time at all, I wouldnt be leaving the house! Looks very decadent :purr:

Great work Neat, you are such a fun and informative member of the forum :question: :mallet:

A new baby in each nest box today :question:

Chickies are looking good Mum is a lovely type of bird I think

Awwwww.......they all look lovely and healthy and I can definitely see the yellow on the middle baby

Thank you I have to admit I am having problems getting pictures of them as they dont sit still for long enough! But I will continue to try and get pictures, and follow up with pictures after their first moult to hopefully show some lacewing markings

Sorry to hear you lost a baby Liv. It really sucks Your other babies look great! I think small clutches are good. I hope all your babies grow up big and strong

Gorgeous bubs Neat

Maybe one day...............

Good to hear your baby tiels are being fed and you dont have the stress of fostering them

I think it's 50 ml to 1 litre? And yes, it does have to be raspberry, but a good quality cordial, like Cascade as Liv suggested. I hope he gets better

Awwwwww........well I would like some greens, so if our blues make blues, I will send them over your way and they can meet the greens half way, swap directions and we will both be happy

Oooh my lordy! I must be having a hormone "thing" happening today. That's twice your posts have brought prickles to my eyes today Kaz. They are AMAZING photos!!! It's so cool you caught that on camera!! Unbelievable

Just thought I would add a better picture of Nirvana

Oh my goodness......I am in love with ALL of them. I soooooooo love the sleepy baby. They are heart stoppers Kaz :) :)

So I decided I would take a couple of pictures to add to this post so you could see the pairs I have been referring too, and if you believe in fate........ I took pics of Dharma and Tibet, the blues and their baby. The pics of the baby all came out blurry for some reason, and I feel I have bothered them enough today, so I will try for pics of the baby in a day or two. I also took a picture of Nirvana and Suki and then I went to take a picture of their baby and.......there was no baby!!! I felt the panic in my heart and frantically looked on the cabinet floor. I found the baby and it was still alive and warm, so I put it back with mum and dad. I have checked a few times since and baby is alive and well and I think it was on the floor by accident, but I will be keeping an eye on things just to make sure. I didnt bother mother further by taking pics of this baby either, but here are the parent pictures Dharma Tibet Nirvana and Suki

Baby one and two should be fledging, so due to the nest box being fairly full and these two babies being fully feathered, I have taken them out and on Kaz's advice, made them a icecream container "nest" with seed and millet in it for them to pick at. They are already perching on the edge of the icecream container! I am cautiously excited that I think both these babies have cinnamon on their wings. Dad is being a little excitable, he is young and this is his first clutch and he is trying to work out why he has these other "people" in his cabinet I think. He hasnt been aggressive, but a little frustrated, so I am keeping a close eye on these guys too. One of my rainbow babies died, due to the parents just stopping feeding them, so I fed the other one then put it with this family, which is why their box is a bit full It is doing very well with its new family I am happy to say Baby One Baby Two The babies perching on their new "nest" (you can see the white baby climbing up in the back corner)

I have expressed my interest in the Kaz's torches, that is why I am not rushing off to buy something else

We totalled 6 eggs. The first was due last Sunday and I checked several times, but I know quite often they are not hatched for a day or two after the due date. Nothing Sunday. Monday morning, I checked again and there was a baby with half the shell off and it was dead in the other half of the shell I have no light to test whether the eggs are fertile or not (yet), so back to the waiting game. Nothing Tuesday BUT I have a gorgeous, healthy beanie in the nest this morning and it looks like its been fed I also have another pair who were due on the same day as the blues, my beautiful Nirvana and his girlfriend Suki and they hatched their first today also. I lost one of my rainbow babies the other day and then finding the first blue baby dead - well I was a bit bummed. Amazing how quickly the birth of a new baby can brighten your spirits though :D

Nice aviary! I think the bird is very gorgeous though :D

I have nothing of any clarification to add, but I just wanted to say I think theyre adorable

Well, I should have a nest full of lacewings according to the pair I put down, but so far they are all looking like inos to me!! Theyre all still gorgeous all the same lol I too will have "real" lacewings one day :D

Good to hear they are all settling well to their changes. I am sure Scooter and Latte will love aviary life. Scooter sure has come a long way hasnt he!!
