We have had the threat of cyclones to kick off the year. Lots of banging pickets into the ground and tying down the suspended aviaries.We didn't get the cyclone, but we got some welcomed rain.

The Galah chick has been sexed and tested for PBFD. All clear and the girl just gets more beautiful by the day.

 

Mrs violet masked is sitting on 4  eggs

 

We are getting people on our lists for the 2014 breeding season. Busy busy. :)

Floyd the Galah chick is doing well and is 20 days old today. How quickly time passes.
 I have taken him out of the brooder and placed him in a cage where he can see and hear the other birds. He still has his container and gum leaves. The temperature is 31c in the room so is a good transition.

Please Note: This chick has been sold.

The Masked lovebirds are now sitting on eggs. The Hen is in the box or building the nest so I won't disturb them more than necessary.

Galah, Lovebirds

The Galah chick is growing at a very fast rate. What a difference to raising Lovebirds LOL.

He  is 12 days old today and his eyes are opening.

I have a stainless steel leg band being made, so he is not thought to be wild caught. He will be DNA'd for sex and PBFD (Beak and Feather ) and all being well offered for sale.

The Masked Lovebirds are busy in the box, so I expect there will be eggs soon.

The Blue Quaker's 2 eggs were clear. Before I had the chance to remove them they disappeared. The parents are still in breeding mode so watch this space. The Green / Blue pair might just surprise me, let's hope so.

Galah chick

What a nice surprise to get yesterday 2 January. The Galah egg hatched and a new life and journey begins. This is our first Galah chick so it will be a journey full of discovery.

Our Blue Quakers are now sitting on 2 eggs.

The Alexandrines are nearly finished their moult and will be in full adult colours in the next few weeks.

The King Parrots Continue to enjoy each other company.
