A gift from my wife :p

I was trying to get a close up but didn't succeed because they are to shy as soon as I enter the aviary they ran into the nest box

I know you know better than me what they are :D

They are really beautiful. Deb, if you read this are they the same breed as Peachy Pie? They look like him.

They are lutinos for sure but I think they are Fischer's Lovebirds rather than Peachface Lovebirds.
I can't see their eyes well enough in the picture to tell for sure so we'd have to check with Chirper for a definitive answer on that one. ;)

Oh, I just saw in aluz's post she said they are Fishers. I guess she was able to see the picture better than I can. :giggle:

Finally I am able to post some update :D

After seeing lots of straws in the nest box I thought the nest building task is completed but that was not final they separate every fibre of straw and made a very soft/fluffy concave for eggs and finally eggs :happy4:

See how the straws were before finalization


Final shape & eggs

Congrats on the eggs chirper :). Why are some different sizes from others, or is it just the angle or my eyes?

Thank you Julie :)

Your eyes are perfect five of them are approximately of the same size it’s just the angle but the egg on the right side is a big one

In budgies I have seen first small egg from a first timer female but never a big one :D

Its really interesting how they separate the fibers of the straw like that to make their nest.

Congratulations on the six eggs!

I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures of the little chicks when they hatch! :D
