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!

Some more photos










A few late ones

I haven't posted for a while as the all the parakeets stopped breeding in the summer, which was a bit of a let down. However, pair 3 decided to have the second round very late in the season and now have 3 chicks feathering up nicely....




Sold some of the 1st round chicks, but may be keeping some of the ones below....




Had an unwelcome visit from a sparrowhawk a month ago....

Yellow

I have a yellow. Mother must be split.
Pair 3's single chick

Latest

Pair 2 chicks all fledged. 3 green opaline cocks, 1 cinnamon hen and 1 cinnamon opaline with a good bit of orangey red. The last one was a bit of a behind the others, but hopefully will grow.







Not sure if pair 3's single chick is a yellow or cinnamon. Could be yellow as hen is possibly split. Also its eyes look dark.

Pair 1's chicks are doing well. I quite like this one.Very yellow for a cinnamon.





Bengalese taking advantage


Even though the bengalese finches can now feed themselves, they won't turn down a free meal.










I've now moved them. From now on they'll have to fend for themselves
