Congrats on the baby--that is awesome! I don't think I've seen this species except in photos.

thanks all , the little one is still alive but alone , the other two eggs didn't hatch last night / today , so i guess the baby will be alone in the nest .... gotta prepare the band already ( make it dark and slide a thin tube over it , otherwise the parents will throw it outa the nest with the baby ... sorry i didn't make any pics , don't want to disturb them !! YET

Congrats Rayray, I sure hope the little one thrives

Jan, I have never been so fascinated by a bird than the pair you had at the show..... still wanting to try a pair someday. Hope yours breed for you, keep me in mind for sale of the offsprings

This is why my hubby says we will never make a dime

I took that pair to one more show, but by then I was allready attached to the pair I had kept.. Needless to say I now have two & looking for more for myself

... I have had both the Great & Blue tit, and while both are cool & the blue is a really pretty bird, these Bearded have so much pesonality you can't help but love them... Ah, $$$ isn't everything.. lol

Do keep me in mind for some youngsters, I know you will be able to get them to breed. I admire your dedication

Ray...patiently waiting for the pics

Any bulls?

As long as you don't forget about me with the great Gouldians.. If I can get some babies I see a trade in our future

... BTW, not sure if I had mentioned, I got my first clutch from those I got from you... They fed out the babies like champs and they are just over a year old.. Good stock

Thanks Jan, I believe in parent raised goulds and glad the kids are carrying on the family tradition

Ray, what are the parents of the tits eating/feeding the young?

first the young one is dead , found it cold in the nest , the parents should feed them little flying insects but .... its still winter here so they gotta feed the baby whatever i give them , guess it wasn't good enough , my hope is for spring in the aviary
