Hi all,

I have a pair of Apricot Bourke Parrots. Guess what ???
Their first breeding season and 1 chick out of 5 eggs.
It's just getting its pink pin feathers. So rapt.

Will do Stuart They are such gentle birds. I put them in with the cockatiels. With some angst and trepidation. I thought the cockatiels would bully them. Not so. It's the other way round. The Bourkes chase the bigger birds. All are getting along fine now they are settled.

Cheers
Val

Thank you, I have Indian ring necks cockatiels a galah and a sulphur crest as well. The sulphur crest has beak and feather disease so has only half his feathers. Since I took him on he has gained quite a few feathers. Looks like a feather duster gone wrong. :-D
