Green Cheeked Conure - First egg broken


My female Green Cheeked Conure had been staying in the breeding box and I assumed she had at east one egg but would not allow me a look. However yesterday morning I found her out of the box and thought it would be a great time to see how many eggs she had however I only found one broken one...

I have since removed the egg from the box and very hopeful that it doesn't affect their breeding season.

In good news my third Indian Ringneck hatched this morning!!

Taronga Zoo






We decided to take our son to Taronga Zoo (also my wife's and my first visit). 

It provided some great bird life to view. There was a free flight show that always fascinates me how they keep the birds from simply just flying away (It would have been a even better if I could view the birds after the show). It also had a large walk in aviary with many different birds but seemed to be a large amount of Scaly breasted Lorikeet compared to anything else but the highlight for me was being able to get very close to a Yellow tailed Black Cockatoo.
