Indian Ringneck - Third Chick


I love this time of year so much excitement and anticipation. My third Indian Ringneck chick was either hatched yesterday or this morning with one more egg that has yet to be pushed to the side.

My Bourke Parrots three eggs are pushed to the center of the box and partially covered by nesting material. The hen spends most of the time out of the box including night, I would say she has abandoned her eggs but she still goes in the box and the eggs are now grouped together.

For the first time a few day ago I witnessed for time my Gouldian finch hen in the nesting box. She seems to have worked the dry grass at the back of the box but no eggs yet.
