Updates!

Hi all,
I haven't been able to post, or be on in a while... this mainly being due to finishing school, etc. and I've been a bit busy for a while. However now that I have the time, I will be giving you all an update.

Unfortunately I had to rehome my Red Rump Parrots, but the person I gave the to is a good friend of my mothers, and bird mad (like me ) and I get regular updates on how their doing. I still wish I didn't have to rehome them... but there wasn't much I could do about it...

My Canaries and a pair of Zebra Finches have moved into the aviary my Red Rumps used to be in... and the Zebra's have three very cute Cinnamon babies, while three pairs of my canaries are breeding, one hen (yellow) has one baby, while my other two have just started making nests. I'm happy that the Zebra's haven't caused any problems (nest material stealing, etc.), as at one point I have 7 pairs with them being overly pushy and stealing others birds nesting material. My other Zebra's in the larger aviary also have babies, one pair has three babies out, one Cinnamon and two Normal, while the other pair have babies still in the nest .

My Princess Parrots have started breeding and Iris has 4 eggs so far (not sure how many she will lay) and Rikki has been defending the nestbox from threatening flowers for some reason (not sure what that is about - but at least he regularly feeds her, etc.) The flowers aren't close to the nestbox... but he still makes angry noises at them and attacks them

My Diamond Doves have attempted breeding, but so far no luck. (Although I think that will change when they're in the new aviary which is coming soon) They build nests and lay eggs... but I think the other birds annoy them too much...

Also, I now have a pair of Cockatiels, the hen is a Grey Pearl and the **** a Cinnamon Normal. They have been looking in the nestbox... the boy sings to her from in there... but so far that's all that's happened with them up till now.

My King Quail/Jap Quail (the names changes as to who you speak with...) are breeding... well two pairs are. The pair in the smaller aviary has four eggs as of today, and the Quad-group in my large aviary (three hens, one male) have seven chicks (there were eight but one died ) and they are getting big . One of the other hens in there is also sitting on eight eggs and her adopted baby often sits with her (although it does go with its other parents - the baby Quails technically have four parents)

Sorry for the long post... but I wanted to update... and I hadn't posted in ages...
