My photo
I keep and breed a small number of Australian grass parakeets. This blog provides information and pictures of my birds and a log of their breeding activities. It is also a photo blog of landscapes and wildlife. My dog Buster may also make an appearance. For Nest Box Live - click the link above or visit my website!

Only one bengalese chick

Only one of the albino bengalese chicks made it. The other three appeared to have some genetic weakness, legs spread and couldn't fly. I had to put two of them down. Maybe breeding red-eyed birds together was not such a good idea. I won't let them breed again.  The other pair of bengalese just keep laying infertile eggs, so it may be worth splitting up the pairs anyway.
