Id wait till they are a year old before introducing the nest. They will breed young but all the breeders i knew waited 1year for maturity

Queensland isabella? Nice looking mutation. Not sure on your other one tho

Move out and at a good inconvenient distance!

Sounds like a shocker!!!!!

Agree finnie 100%

Do the aussie natives a favour and build or buy a mynah trap. That way you will be removing an introduced pest

Wouldnt be listening to that breeder when it comes to violets!! You need violet factor

Congrats guys. Myself i had a terrible breeding season, lost a heap of chicks. 2 nests gave me birds, 1 was a pet/show breeding so not any good to keep and the other i got a few, kept 3 and lost the 2 best ones of that in the last heatwave. Suspected cocci. The remaing one is terrible, runt and just nothing of worth. Oh well there is next year!

Coccidiosis is residual in the ground right? I got a pup with it once and had to bleach the entire backyard to kill it finally!

Very nice birds!

Kaz do the cheek patches show violet if they carry it and more blue if they dont?

Fan with a bucket of water in front of it helps a bit. I even put a towel in so the water slowly leeches out the bucket into the fans air it is blowing. I pulled all my pairs the day before the heatwave. Good timing i guess

Haha Renee my boy not 2 yet has twice lost my rings. First time in the shed and 2nd time the whole backyard and in the house! We have a big yard too. Found most tho, lucky my daughter has good eyes!

No good splat. He looked great. Would you consider taxidermy? He would be preserved 4 ever then!
