Yes i have seen this,it happens with a few of the smaller finches in a mixed collection,they must feel threatened so they go the floor to do the deed. CraigAMCA26 wrote:Noticed that the Orange Breasts I have seem to mate on the floor is this normal for these guys?
Yup, sounded like birdie porn to me earlier. Wonder if he slapped that a$$, and If she put de helmet on.

Well checked my pairs of OBs and out of 4pairs that had eggs at the time total of 20 eggs with 2 that had hatched and another 17 that were fertile but I think last weeks hot days killed them in the egg and were rotten. So I am happy that 19 out of 20 were fertile. Another 3 nests with activity are 1 pair with 1 or 2 young and another 2 pair on eggs. So hopefully next round the weather has toned down a bit in heat.

G'day Mark,should you be checking their nests ? They might be deserting there nests due to interference.
