Hi,
I guess it's winter again. For many of us, winter is the least exciting season to be a finch keeper. Nothing is breeding, illness and egg binding become more of an issue, and it's just not fun being outside in the weather.
Aussie Finch Forum is generally much quieter over winter as well. Having said that, we hope you'll still stop by for a chat and to tell us about your future breeding projects. If not, we'll see you again in the spring time!
Many of the scheduled bird sales have been cancelled due to the Victorian COVID outbreak, so we're just going to do a mini bird sale calendar this month. |

Keeping and breeding the painted button quail |
|
Painted button quails are a delightful addition to an aviary. They’re easy to look after, compatible with most finches, doves, and grass parrots, and happiest when they are able to hide amongst tall grass and leaf litter. |

Keeping your birds warm in winter |
|
Cold temperatures, as long as they’re above freezing, generally pose very little threat to most of the birds we keep in captivity. Cold winds and draughts, wind and rain exposure, and fungal/bacterial infections are the true killers. |
