Sounds like you have worked out what is best for your finches. Which is exactly what we should all strive to do. How big is the mixed cage?

Looks like you have them well protected from cold winds. Good on you. Can only see box nests, have you tried ball nests for the painteds? Mine prefered them. Enjoy.
