Re: Breeding Tri Coloured Parrot Finches
Posted: 02 Feb 2016, 10:02
I'm having some difficulty breeding my TCPFs. I bought three young pair in June of 2015. One pair from one breeder and two pair from another breeder. I split up the one pair to make up 3 unrelated pairs the best I could. Lets call the pairs A,B & C. This is their breeding results.
A - fledged 3,4,3 nothing for the pass 6 weeks (having a rest I'd say)
B - abandoned 1, abandoned 3, 2, abandoned again.
C - nothing for 4 months, 2 young, abandoned 3. These are in a big aviary and its hard to see what they are up to.
(when I say abandoned in all cases the chicks are fully feathered and not far from leaving the nest)
I have thought about replacing the males of B & C with some of the young males I have breed. They all get maggots, mealworms, sprouted seeds etc .
Any comments would be appreciated.
