Well it was about 16 months ago now that Daphne first hatched the first batch of chicks in the aviary, and over the last 4 weeks we have had batch number 4.

Batch 3 of the baby budgies from this year are now almost ready to leave the comfort of Daphne’s rather well used box.

It has now been 4 long weeks since the budgies were born and this week as seen both of them venture out of their box for the first time.

The new born Budgies were hatched nearly 2 weeks ago now and so we managed to get our first proper glimpse of them when Helen has a hold.
