I though I had lost my Gouldian finch female, after believing for a moment she had escaped I found her in the nesting box.
They have added to the dried grass I put in there and I'm unsure how many eggs she has as I don't want to spoil any nesting activity.
The Gouldians have added to my Bourkes in a late summer/early Autumn nesting that I have not had in previous seasons.
My Bourke female has decided to sit on a second clutch for the season. I did expect it after her first clutch failed to hatch a egg.
She has been very protective from the start this time and she is sitting on four or more eggs (she wont give me decent look).
Hopefully this clutch will be more successful for her.
All my chicks are fledged so time to worm all my birds. Twice a year occurance for me but I have had advice to worm even up to three times a year.
It seems to be a common occurance when I purchase a bird from expirienced breeder that they tell me if the bird has been wormed or about the importance of worming and I thus pass this same advice on to the people who purchase my birds.
