;) We could always start a kitty for Em to go to S. Africa and handfeed your fabies. :blink: (Just kidding obviously) I don't think Em's ever been outside the U.S. and I'm not sure how her BF and mom would like it.

Its great that your tiels will let you put your hand in the nest box

Unfortunately Cha Cha had put in a solid months work laying and hatching in 2016, only to have her nest invaded by her neighbours, while I was at work. The chicks died.

SHE was LIVID. She could spit fire across the room

So mad she didnt attempt to lay at all last year, as she had the same avairy neighbours

So Papa is staying well out of her way this time! lol
I've had that happen too, unfortunately. I've 2 tiels with beak problems cause by gccs/Quaker invading their nest boxes. The stinkers figured out how to get around the barricades I'd set up to protect the fledglings. They realized they could open the nest boxes and in spite of weights they chewed through the wood, lifted grates over the entrance, you name it.

Cha Cha climbed out today and had her first shower in weeks. She even surfed for a half hour.

So I'm willing to bet she has decided the biggest danger period for junior has passed. Now that he's big and fat lol
