Another batch of pied starfinches decided to jump nest yesterday. One in particularly looks very nice to me. It has a complete white tail, which will molt out to pink when the bird gets it adult colours. I also have lone diamond firetail fledge.

Babs Yes, it feels like it. my aviaries are certainly overpopulated. I have also gotten about 3 clutches of society chicks as well.

Congratulations once again Marius.

What an interesting looking baby. He looks like he's wearing a little white hat :D . Will that turn pink as well?
