I'm not surprised they chose that one! It's naturally the kind they nest in. It's still a great nest box! I hope you get more babies next time too. You're so lucky to have a breeding pair. I would love to breed, but I want Ash to be my one and only! lol
Ashling is now 8 months old. I'm guessing by the colour her beak was that she was 10 weeks when I got her. I bought her from a (terrible) bird seller. Dirty cages with poo up the walls, featherless patches on birds, sick looking birds, lights on 24/7, dusty, no sunlight, dirty water, not right food (only dry mix for the lorikeets!) no vegies for any of them and more. Also, he never tells buyers how to care for the bird, or any questions really, just sells them. I went back months later and asked for records to see what Ash's hatchday was and he said he got birds in all the time and it'd be too hard to find her records, and said to count back 6 weeks from when I got her. Which was wrong! IDIOT!
If I had of known then what I know now, I wouldn't have got a bird from him, but I'd had a lorikeet before and knew I would get one again, and I fell in love. And I'm glad I did! Ash is the best bird I have ever owned and talks, does tricks and loves me sooo much.
It's illegal to catch lorikeets from the wild here. I've had a many chances but Id never take a wild bird.
