Blame the propellerheads...: Finch Update 21-02-2014
http://gjhmac.blogspot.com/2014/02/finch-update-21-02-2014.html
Friday, February 21, 2014. I lifted the lid on the Gouldian nest in the aviary today to check how the recently hatched chicks are going. We have five healthy looking youngsters (and one unhatched egg). Is there a possibility the 6th may hatch shortly or is that it? 11:02 am, March 07, 2014. I think that will be it. Not sure if the sixth egg was fertilised. To be honest Im not sure what Ill do with five of them, let alone six! 9:57 pm, March 09, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I run on this stuff.

Blame the propellerheads...: Finch Update 14-02-2014

Friday, February 14, 2014. When I fed and watered the finches in the main aviary this evening I noticed that both of the Gouldian Finches. Were inside their nesting box. Thinking I'd better check if everything is ok, I climbed inside the aviary. To my surprise I discovered that some (possibly all, it's a bit hard to see everything in there) of the eggs have hatched!

Blame the propellerheads...: Finch Update 02-10-2014
http://gjhmac.blogspot.com/2014/10/finch-update-02-10-2014.html
Thursday, October 02, 2014. A fair bit has happened in the last few months (I have been particularly slack in updating this blog):. The fawn Zebra Finches have bred, five young hatched and three have survived (goes to show that even a Zebra Finch with a busted wing can still father a healthy brood);. The Gouldian Finches bred again, raising a single offspring (this is the fourth brood for the season);. The Painted Finches have bred, 3 have hatched, have left the nest and are doing very well.

The Cuckoo's Nest: Esperance in December
http://birdinginwesternaustralia.blogspot.com/2015/12/esperance-in-december.html
A blog about my birding adventures and observations in my home state of Western Australia. Saturday, 19 December 2015. On a recent trip to Esperance on Western Australia's south coast, I was able to spend a bit of time birding. We went via Kalgoorlie to break up the nine hour drive and stayed a night there. In the early hours of the morning I drove out of Kal to the Kurrawang Nature Reserve. This yielded very little - just a couple of White-fronted Honeyeaters. Cape Barren Goose, Esperance Golf Course.

Blame the propellerheads...: Finch Update 06-06-2014
http://gjhmac.blogspot.com/2014/06/finch-update-06-06-2014.html
Friday, June 06, 2014. The two Gouldian Finches. From the second clutch have had their coloured bands added. I'm adding these bands and recording the details in a spreadsheet to try and ensure I don't inbreed. I expect the third clutch of eggs to hatch any day. The most recent addition to the aviaries is a pair of Double-barred Finches. Zebra Finch (charcoal) with eye infection (after a few days of treatment). UPDATE: Unfortunately this finch died after it was returned to the aviary. I run on this stuff.

Blame the propellerheads...: Finch Update 28-10-2014
http://gjhmac.blogspot.com/2014/10/finch-update-28-10-2014.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Unfortunately one of the three new Painted Finches. Mentioned in the previous post has died - causes unknown. The remaining two are doing well and the parents are apparently breeding again. After a number of failed attempts to keep a pair of Star Finches. I have admitted defeat and sent my remaining male Star Finch to a finch keeper who has success in keeping the species. I think my aviaries may be too draughty? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
