Well it has been a little over two weeks but this afternoon the first
baby Timor zebra finch decided to explore outside the nest for the first
time. Perhaps it was the warmth of the afternoon sun which caused it to
venture into the aviary ....it had been peering out of the nest
entrance for quite some time. I have no idea how many siblings are still
in the nest but I hope at least two more are inside. As can be seen
from the clip it is very inquisitive. nibbling bark with its beak. It
can be distinguished from the adults by its black beak. Both parents
were very attentive and the male seemed to be on the look out for
predators......sparrowhawks do occasionally make a pass at the aviary.
Not long after this both adults ushered the fledgling back to the nest.
