Aussie Finch Forum

Goldys hatched their first young. They tossed a dead egg yesterday so i was relieved to see this guy today. The other 2 fertile eggs are under my spare yellow siskin hen.

Hope the heat dont kill them.

5 out of 5 eggs were full which isnt bad from a wild pair purchased in april.

Hi Elferoz
Why do you put the eggs with the yellow siskin ??
Glenn

She was spare and on clear eggs. In my aviary I have a rogue zeb that destroys eggs.i wanted to make sure some survived.

Oh ok
And will she foster them as her own and
feed them ??

Hope it goes well
Glenn

In our area we have heaps. In my new estate all the mid size trees hold nests and young. I got these guys from a sale so they are more than likely Melbourne Birds.

The rogue zeb has been isolated. Unfortunately for me i cant pee him off as his got the best red colour.
