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 parakeet fledglings

Pair 1's 4 chicks have fledged, 3 cinnamon opaline hens and 1 green opaline hen

shows how much the red can vary






Pair 2's chicks are growing up very fast, apart from one (the red back).  I expect them to leave the nest soon and when they do I'll have to throw the little one out to ensure that she gets fed and not killed by an over-keen hen that may be ready to lay again.



The bengalese chicks are finally starting to get a bit stronger
