WoooooHooooooo their here jaffa and lardy pt5

May 08.......

Here they are having lots of good fun scratching around the aviary floor,watch the hop, i so love that hop  ,there has been lots of      going on over the last couple of weeks,almost daily,but as of yet no eggs,im sure they arent going to be too far away....so fingers crossed 
they have been doing lots of nestbox treading too,he has been feeding her vigorously which she has been taking,rather than him being to forceful with her when she dosent want to take it,but there have been some horrendous fighting going on between them(typical caique breeding behaviour)
their food intake has gone through the roof,the bowl that i use for their fruit is completely empty when i change their bowls,with hardly any on the floor anymore,so they are obviously eating it all,the male has got very aggressive towards us too when we are in the garden,displaying much more than usual and following us around the aviary,hubby and my son arent able to change the bowls anymore now as he's over like a shot to attack them  ,but will still just about tolerate me changing them....if we dont get any eggs this time we are putting it down to their nestbox size and will swap it for a smaller one next year.....anyway fingers crossed  our nestbox cam is on as long as the tv is,so we should know within a few hours of any eggy activity   

watch this space !!!
