So far in the nest I have 3 pairs of ringies on 12 eggs. Colours expected are good old green , blue, grey, lutino, blueino (all hens), pallid (hens) and pallidino (males). Hatch date is anywhere from first week in Sept, not long to go now. Also have 2 more, possibly 3, pair to go down yet, basic colours from them.
Rainbow Lorikeets surprised me with 2 eggs again. I am currently hand raising 2 7 week old chicks from their last clutch.
I bought a pair of breeding sun conures a couple of months ago. I am trying to convince them it is a great idea to breed...NOW!! Maybe romantic music to help set the mood might help???
So that is about all from my end at the moment. Hope everyone else is having a good breeding season with healthy chickies on the way.
Update from my end.

Re: Update from my end.
My fingers are crossed for you tasha! I can't wait to see your new photos this year--always stunning! I bet you are so anxious to see the babies! Do me a favor and give them all treats for me! :OP How many breeding pairs of sun conures do you have Tasha?

Re: Update from my end.
Its a great time of year thats for sure.
I had my first egg on 29/7 this year. Last year it was the 1/8 and I had 1 pair not lay till the 14/9.
My Violet Blue pair laid 5 eggs and I placed them under a Foster pair which had laid 5 eggs that I removed. So far 4 have hatched and the last should hatch tomorrow. The Violet Blue pair should lay again this week hopefully.
I have another pair (Blue and Grey) that laid 4 eggs plus I added another egg from the Foster pair. 3 have hatched so far.
Another pair (Violet Blue and Blue) have laid 3 eggs which should hatch in another 2 weeks.
The rest havent laid as yet.
So I have had 17 eggs in total for 7 chicks so far from 4 pairs.
