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!

First Chicks of 2013

Pair 1
2 chicks. Not great, however I'm surprised even at these two hatching as the male has been very violent to the hen. He's feeding the chicks, but he didn't feed her during incubation.


Pair 2
3 chicks. Not the bumper clutch like last year, however I think the ridiculously cold spring has an impact.


Pair 3
I had high hopes for these producing very red birds. However, the hen is still young and not in good feather condition. They have a few eggs, but I don't expect much.

Pair 4
Now laying. However the male is very young.

Bengalese
Chicks, but don't know how many.
