To get the youngsters used to going into and out of the show cages, I attach the show cages to the side of the main flight cage. This way the birds get used to being in a smaller space. They eventually sleep in the show cages and once used to them, will pop into them at command when you present a show cage at their door. This minimises stress in moving them round the room. That's my stress as well as theirs!
This long yellow chick is Elizabeth's half brother. He has good length.
This white is also a half sibling of Elizabeth - her late mother's chick which hatched after their mother died this year. He was fostered out to Elizabeth's father and mate.
I like this little green bird.
A nice piebald, not showing herself off yet!
Elizabeth's "lone parent family" of three yellow chicks. Her mate died while she was incubating.
Elizabeth viewed from her chicks' nest.
This little chap is Elizabeth's nephew or niece.
