very nice. Is the shaft tail peeking into the picture with the black beak a baby?

Steve, don't tell me that you also have 2 Blue Cap cocks and no hens. Rox also has 2 boys. Blue cap hens are hard to find here, but by you it should be much easier.

MariusStegmann I now have 1 hen, yay!! She is being flown down from Bloem on Thursday :D

Steve, your birds are all beautiful!! I would love some Diamonds but would need another aviary for them. I could see them giving my waxbills a hard time :shock:

MariusStegmann interesting, thanks. Everything I have read said they would probably be more aggressive with the smaller birds. One day I will get some :)

wilkifam, yep that is a baby Grass Finch, I have a whole lot of them.

Rox, my aviary is big enough to house the Diamond Sparrows with the other birds, they are very protective of their nests and do chase the odd bird around but can't do any harm.

MariusStegmann, I have 2 cocks and 3 hen blue caps, they are fairly young and have not produced yet.

Thanks to all for the nice comments.

Regards
Steve
