Good news!!! We're getting a tree removed, and it should help flying for the birds!

Lucky! I live in what is essentially a bowl surrounded by dense forest, it took a while for my young birds to get brave enough to fly above them and realize there was a whole sky for them.

Me to! My rollers still haven't figured that out... We're getting this big one removed! I'm building another coop right there, so it should help them alot! Hopefully a limb doesn't hit it...

I had to tube feed Dipsy again. I think the parents are feeding her some, but not enough. She is much smaller than Dazzle.

Good job! How old are they now?

Well, still no eggs from the Frillbacks, and the egg from the tumblers is at least a week old now. I'm gonna go ahead and incubate it, and see what happens.

My bands finally came in but I think the babies are simply too big already. They hatched last Thursday.
I watched countless videos on how to move the band past the back toe and flick it forward but there's judt not enough room for me to do that with the leg and toe in the band. I'd rather not injure them so I decided to give up and chalk it up to inexperience.
