Two months in

Post by kyle » Wed Jan 21, 2015 2:43 am

I got a pair of Gouldians two months ago, I was excited because
it's something I've been wanting to do but it never seemed like the
right time. I feel it's such a privilege to be able to have these beautiful
Little birds. I set them up in a large flight cage, nest box and silk plants
all the bells and whistles I almost wanted to move in my self! Ha! I was
in the process of getting another pair when I realized the pair I had were
in a breeding frame of mind. I didn't want to rock the boat As they seemed
content by themselves.

So two months in and And there are 3 eggs in their
nest I guess it's a good start. I will wait on a new pair
down the road as I'm hoping for a successful nest full
Of healthy chicks that will fill the flight!
