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.
