The light is extending and the cock birds are singing pretty much all day. The cocks are housed separately as they will fight if they are in the same cages. The hens live more peaceably with one another.

The singing is a joy to hear.

Elizabeth has moulted - not intentional that - and her tail is now adult length. She looks good as does her brother but she needs a few weeks to rebuild her strength.

Another of the hens - all happy together!

The singing stops as soon as I enter the room so I tried to take this round the door!
