PICTURE: New home for family of 8!

[moonriver]

My pair of Gouldians had 6 babies, hatched on 7/15/17. I wasn't expecting that many, since I've only had 1 surviving chick in past clutches. Well, this was a new mamma, so she must have been much more fertile than the last! Anyway, the cage they were in was too small for a family of 8, so I waited until the babies were weaned and then moved them all into their new mansion today. They have 4 food dishes up top and 4 water dishes along the bottom (I wanted to avoid having the water splash into their food). Two food dishes have seed+dried greens. One has a molting/conditioning seed mix, and one has grit. I have egg food for the mornings, which I'll put in one of their seed dishes tomorrow morning. There's one millet hanging (I have others I can add). Once they molt, I'll separate the males and females with a divider in the middle.

Am I missing anything? Will they be happy here?

Thanks!

Looks wonderful, and sounds like you have everything pretty much covered.

By the way, congratulations on the nice big clutch!
