I have a blue baby!!!

Post by Rox » Sat Jan 17, 2015 1:06 am

This little Blue-breasted cordon bleu popped out of the nest yesterday. To say that I am happy is an understatement!! So far it's just the one but it's a beauty :D

I've only been feeding mealworms for the last month and was concerned about not having maggots available but this pair has restored my faith in the poor little mealworm and has given me hope for the rest of my waxbills :)

Congrats! I have one pair of Blue-breasted CBs, but they may have aged out now. That little one looks great, hopefully there are more to come!
