Shafttails fledged yesterday

Post by MariusStegmann » Wed Aug 17, 2016 3:16 am

2 Shaft-tails fledged yesterday. I am quite happy, because my shaft-tail parents abandon their nest if I come near it. This time, I was very good and curbed my curiosity.

It's hard not to peek sometimes, but it does pay off, congrats!

Thx Stuart and Sally. My diamond firetails, starfinches, and shafttails abandons nests if I peek. A previous pair of diamonds didn't mind nest checks at all. Other aussie birds like cherryfinches and gouldians don't mind at all.
