G'day All

[Talven]

G'day folks. Complete novice to the world of finches so here to gain as much knowledge as I can. Had plenty of experience with parrots though so not a total beginner. Fair warning I will bombard you all with questions so be prepared.

Hi and welcome to the forum

What parrots have you kept?
What finches were you looking at keeping?
How big is your aviary for the finches?

Hi! Welcome to the forum

I used to breed and hand rear cockatiels/weiro's. Now I just keep them as tame companion birds. I also have Indian ringneck, green cheek conures, budgies, bourkes, turks and princess parrots. I was looking at getting into Gouldian finches my son would like African fire finches and I was wanting to toss in a couple of canaries.

My aviary is 1.5m x 1.5m x 2.2m so not very large. It has 4 king quail, 2 bourkes and 2 turks. I've since been told it's at capacity so I either give up on finches or get another aviary.

Welcome to the Forum Talven. No don't give up,build another aviary just for finches as finches and parrots don't mix well in smaller aviaries. Cheers Craig.

Welcome to the forum. Like Craig said, just build another avairy. More avairys are always a good idea. As I keep telling my hubby.
