| Paul I'm so sorry to hear about Lyra - sometimes there is just no way of knowing they are not well - it comes on so fast and they hide it so well. Fly free little Lyra, give Kiwi a beaky kiss from me xxx | |

| Paul im so terribly sorry! Debbie is exactly right!!!!.... I have dealt with egg bound birds, its hard to tell, especially when their in the nestbox..we leave them be to do their duty without disturbing & causing issues..you know from your own experience in raising birds thus far, no matter your best efforts with nutrition, sometimes its just not enough for what ever reasons! fly free little Lyra, when you give Kiwi beaky kisses, please give my precious George one as well!! | |

| Awwwwh, Paul, I'm so sorry. Lyra was such a placid little thing too. *sniff*. I've paired her sister, Gracey, up with another male and they're busy feeding each other but not showing much sign of actually nesting. If they ever get round to it, I'll keep you at the top of my list. I've retired my lutino pair now as they must be a good 6-7 years old and it's a bit of a strain for them. Are Whistler and Riddick getting on ok without her?! | |

| They're a real pain to get back in aren't they?! I've always found that the males are worse than the females too, stubborn little buggers! | |
