Eastern Rosellas in my bird box

After a year or two (I can't quite remember) my bird nesting box has finally gotten its first resident.

From a quick inspection when Momma Rosella was off with Daddy Rosella I can tell there is at least 2 eggs. 
 

So exciting!

I didn't realise Momma Rosella was home and did a quick peek into the box with my phone.

Perhaps you could mount a little webcam next season so you don't need to touch the box. Great news on such a successful bird box.

Sue, yeah I think that would be really cool, keeping my eye out for a good price

Some very almost fledglings taking a peek at the outside world (two have already fledged!)

Mishkaka

I believe they have all successfully fledged now :)

Thanks for your time to keep us updated. Those photos of "almost fledged" are just fantastic.
