Hopefully in the next few weeks I can plan a trip to see an old friend who breeds parrots in Germany.
He has very similar interests to me, and does breed some exclusive parrots which I have waited for some time to be able to bring back to my collection. To say that I am somewhat excited would be an understatement and I know all too easily these arrangements can still fall through. So for now I will keep the identity of these particular parrots confidential. In England there is an old bird keepers adage "don't count your chickens before they hatch".
Having moved the Ruppells they are beginning to look like they are settling down again. When I took them out the old aviary, the breeding pair was firmly fixed in the nest box and I was very reluctant to move them. However I decided in the longer term they would be more likely to breed in a different location and be less easily disturbed. So it was abit of relief to see the male Ruppells looking back into the nest box again tonight.
