My mum held one of the bubs on Saturday (a boy) and said they are the noisiest bubs she's ever heard! I reckon she is right! Quiet as adults but by golly noisy bubs!

Eldest 2 bubs fledged late yesterday afternoon just before I got home. Wondered why I suddenly had 4 bourke's flying around their cage. I love watching the fledglings and their parents interact with each other outside the nestbox. Their parents care so much! When one falls, one of the parents races down to them to check them over. So beautiful!

They start flying so quick don't they?
One minute they are in the box, next zooming around like nothing lol
Nice birds.

I can't believe how big they've gotten in such a short period of time! I agree -- we need new pics.

aww they are so cute!!
What other species can they mix with Karen?, i was told none, they can be very aggressive to others. Is that right?

Bourke's are a gentle species so any of the more gentle/soft birds are fine. ie: finches, elegants. Bourke's can be aggressive towards their own species up to and including killing. Here are the 2 eldest bubs on the left of the nest boxes: This is the 3rd bub, still got about a week or so to go:
