Sorry the eggs weren't fertile, mickp. It is so frustrating to get eggs, but clear. Doesn't seem like she used very much nesting material to make her nest--is that how firetails do? I see lots of feathers, though. Better luck next time.

Hey, at least they're nesting! My pair MAYBE knows that a nest is in their cage......
