Spring has sprung!!

Commercial "Parrot nesting material" available from a pet shop used, she chose a "Cockatiel" sized nesting box.

I introduced some nesting boxes into my larger mixed aviary to offer some protection from the element to my birds in winter (anything to avoid the loss of bird experienced last year).

It has resulted in my Bourke female laying eggs earlier than I would like. I believe this is her third clutch and she is yet to hatch anything; I will let her finish the clutch and see how things progress.
