May 6, 201213 yr They are beautiful Robyn. I'm glad to see everything turned out I love the colours, it makes me want more birds l.o.l.
May 11, 201212 yr Author Thanks Nadene and Finnie, I've taken first 6 out into kindy cage as Mum decided she didn't like the kids underfoot anymore. She attacked one last year so I thought I'd get in first. I think she's ready to lay again.
May 12, 201212 yr Author These are more pics of first 6 fledged. 1 st My Albino. Back view. next three chicks all similar back with white flights. 1 2 3 Last 2 are from eggs fostered to same nest as Dad isn;t a good dad. He has eaten eggs, fed first hatched whole seed etc. but these two made it. Mum laid again yesterday.

I was confused about the hatch dates you wrote at first, until I saw the last one says April, so I think maybe the other ones were meant to have a "4", and not a "5"! (Cuz I know you didn't mean they hatched yesterday and today! )
May 12, 201212 yr Author Thanks for that Finnie, didn't even realise. Now I'll have to try to edit pics before I put it in my record.
June 11, 201212 yr Author Thanks Rhi-Rhi , she is very nice, at least I think it's a she l.o.l I'll wait until she's a bit older before I decide.

July 21, 201212 yr Well, okay, upon checking these, it does look like everything that's not albino or cinnamon does seem to be male.
July 21, 201212 yr Author Hi Dilster, she laid 1st egg, 1st round 14-3-2012 Rared those chicks, laid 2nd round from 11-5-2012, let Dad finish off last 4 chicks. Put her out in kindy cage with bigger chicks to let her have a spell before putting her back in Aviary she laid 2 more eggs off perch. She is only small pet type bird, and not the best looking bird but she's a wonderful Mum and breeder.
