I know! I originally ordered 40 for the gouldians in January thinking I would never use them all. Sure enough I have about 36 juveniles so far. The birds are all still in breeding mode, but I'm running out of space to keep up with them. :shock:



Also throwing in this photo:

One of my favorite birds so far this year, Constance:
