How is he doing? Everyone still getting fed? Sounds like he butt- shuffled the wrong way out the exit. Silly birds.
I find it amazing that the nestlings/chicks know how to back up and poo, so they are not sitting in poo :shock:

*shudders* I show people pictures of baby Gouldians just to freak them out. Those little nodules are too freaky!

Gary,
I think it's an instinctual thing, so that they don't end up sitting in a pilebof poop.

Celeris,
Yea, I know... people's eyes get big :shock: and you get: What are those things?
lol.

They shuld be popping out of the nest any day now (especially the yellows who seem a bit older than the greens).

Growing like weeds.

I'm suprised that those two yellows haven't fledged yet, but I expect we'll see them out and about very shortly. I guess they're waiting for the other three brothers from other fathers and mothers to catch up :D .

Thanks sweetie.

Looks like parents of the three greens, have truly adopted the two yellow as well \:D/

All five are well fed and appear to be healthy and content.

Well, one adorable alien popped out of the nest just now.

I snapped a picture, and placed him back in the nest. This one, is still too little yet and needs more nest time.

The yellows are amazing!

I wish my pairs would produce some for me, so far only green and blue ones.
