Hi Matthew,

Congratulations mate,;) I hope there are one or two more to follow.

All the best, Paul.:D

[Waxbillman]

cheers Paul

i thought they was more than one, chick, but its hard to tell in that aviary with 9 adults and tall plants

Matthew

[Waxbillman]

well, i have just seen 3 or 4 chicks on the perch now, so i'm really happy about that.

hi matt

Nice one Matthew,

Well done to you mate,;) three or four chicks is far better than the single chick you were expecting to be the final result.

All the best Matthew, Paul.:D

Awesome!!!!

That's great. It is so exciting when chicks fledge, because unlike species that tolerate nest checks, etc., most waxbills do not...so you can only go by parent observation, chick noise, etc. to tell you somewhat of what's going on.

Great job!!!!!!

hi nikki/paul/matt
i think its great .expecting a couple and getting more than you bargain for is always a bonus

[Waxbillman]

thanks

believe it or not Nikki, i broke the cardinal sin of nest inspecting, twice!!

i knew they built a nest in the box but i didn't know that there was young untill i stuck my fingers in and felt movement, luckily i got away with it.
