A breeding event

[Ian Fraser <>]

Lindell, she will lay the fertilised egg in the morning, and quite likely another one in a couple of days. It will hatch in around 25 days, then the chick should fledge in about 6 weeks. However it seems that most of our information is from captive birds. So, perhaps you could prepare a welcome for about mid-February?

These two are regular visitors to our garden. They call in most days in search of seed that I may or may not put out for them and their other parrot friends. After seeing this my question is - how long need I wait for these two to introduce their newly fledged offspring? That is supposing they find a suitable nesting hollow and are successful at rearing their chicks.

The closest nesting hollows that I know of are up on Red Hill.
