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!

All my turqs now have chicks

One of pair 3's eggs hatched today. That's all 3 pairs now with chicks.
Not sure the others will hatch as only a few looked fertile and one is cracked.
