Bourke Parakeet Clutches of 2012

Last clutches of 2012.

Fuchsia with her last egg hatching, baby still inside.
Father is Flame, a really beautiful dark, dark pink guy.

 

Rosie and Pretty Boy's four, nearly ready to leave the nest.

 

 

Hand feeding two youngest birds from last clutches.
Rhett and Cherry's on left. The very light pink
with lots of white is from Fuchsia and Flame.
 

Same as above, but moved to opposite sides.
Dark pink Flame sometimes produces light pink birds like
one on the left. She's lovely with more white than is typical.

 

 

These two are from Rhett and Cherry's last clutch.
They are siblings of the darker pink bird above.

 

 

Waiting to be sold. Two from Rhett and Cherry,
one from Fuchsia and Flame's previous clutch.

As an aside, my two hand fed Lady Gouldian finches as
of today. I've been feeding them through the cage bars
to avoid having them fly everywhere, although they do
come back to me. I'm in a hurry sometimes. There is
food on the bars and on them. Smile. Little sweethearts.

 

 Peace and Blessings.
