BARRY FLEW!!!!!!
On Saturday the 3rd of March Barry the chick flew.
Final count...
Out of the 16 eggs that the Javas laid ....four chicks have survived!!!! Nemo, Barry, Cheerio and Dudley.
They were born between 4th and 9th of February 2012 and are doing well so far.
3 other chicks had been born but their mum didnt feed them and they died....we dont know why.....they seemed healthy enough to begin with.
Anyway......here are some recent pictures.....They are really changing now that they have feathers. nemo is really friendly when we take him out of the nest. The others are a little more shy but dont mind being handled...they are practising flapping their feathers so they will probably try to fly soon!

SAD NEWS Our sixth chick just wasn't strong enough and unfortunately he passed away:(
yaaaaaay we have 6 chicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay we have 5 chicks!!!!!
And we named it John.
Finally!!!!!!!Our first chick arrived today (Saturday 4th Feb).
We were so excited!!!! Vinny wasnt too happy about having a chick and started to attack it so we moved him out into a different cage. Pepper is the perfect Mum...shes really good at taking care of her new baby and sitting on her other eggs...she has laid 4 new eggs in the past few days. (8 in total). fingers crossed we will have some more! |

Vinny
There are many types and colours of Java Sparrows.
This is a 'Normal' Java Sparrow.
I have two of these....both males....Vinny and Alan.
They are related somehow....we bought them at different times from the same shop and they had similar rings on their legs.
Vinny is a little older than Alan but both are at least a year old.
I also have 2 female Javas but they look very different from Vinny...they are 'Silver' Javas. They are sisters and are named Pepper and Salty. Pepper is the one standing taller in the picture below.
