Even though it’s mid winter here, and we certainly never get snow, it’s still too cold for babies to be hatching. Somehow many of our pets are raising young early! We take in Rainbow lorikeets known as ‘runners’ that don’t properly develop tail feathers and then struggle to fly etc. So they come and live out their days in comfort in our aviary. But they’re breeding! Terrible photo but all I could manage without disturbing them and just had to keep rolling with the new babies theme!
@ankers70 We started off being “Wires” bird carers. So people would drop injured natives etc to us. Now people locally just bring us injured birds etc. The runners are usually scooped up as people notice they’ve fallen from the nest.
That's amazing to see this baby as they don't grow up in our neighbourhoods! I am familiar with them from zoos, and what fun to see mama's green feathers in the nest!
