A new little bub hatched yesterday from the other nest. Look at the size difference between a brand new one and 2.5 weeks old!

I've not shown my aviary in awhile so here it is. I filmed this a few days ago, because as always I forgot to post it. I moved the pair down the bottom of the breeding cages back to the aviary as I've given up on them. The top right two moved down the bottom and all 3 pairs have a full two bay each now.
All of the 'babies' from my first two clutches are in the main aviary now too. I'll still show a couple of them once or twice this year, but generally they'll just be in there to have room to fly and grow now. Towards the end of this year or early next I might try to breed some of them.

My club had a show today. This is during check-in, so not everyone was there, but there were a couple of hundred birds. The shows can get pretty loud!

I thought this clutch was going to be empty, but looks like we could have at least 1. The first 3 were kicked out of the nest too. 🤞

Finally, a new baby! I wasn't sure this was going to happen, to be honest. I let Sven have one last clutch because they both seemed good after their second of only 1 bub. She laid 10 or 11 eggs, I can't remember off the top of my head. Only this little one made it.

Most were infertile and the only other 2 fertile ones died early on. I left all the eggs in there until today and left one egg with this bub. I'll take it out tomorrow. I didn't want to take all her eggs hit in case it stressed her. She's a great mum though. Bub is fed and seems good, so hopefully I get something nice here.

I've been super quiet for awhile now, but we've been through covid, Christmas and birthdays. I've been looking after the birds but constantly forget to bring my phone down for photos when I see them and then forget to post the photos I do take. I'm not sure if I've posted a photo of this guy before, but I took him and a hen to a show today. He got a mini prize of Best Dominant Novice Nestfeather. Not too bad for my first show, I suppose.

It's been awhile but I've been super busy and forget to post. The "babies" are pretty big now

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or just have a nice day. Whatever you're into, I hope you have a good day.

Being sick has really sucked so I've pretty much thrown food at the birds and that's it this week. Look at how well this one is growing though! I thought it shows a little better in a video
