Hi reading about finches breeding in winter and not a good idea....how do you stop them. I feed mine the same diet all year round at the moment I have 3 lots of stars with babies in the nest. Another pair of stars have built a nest and also 2 pairs of Painted are sitting on eggs. Any advice would be appreciated. :)

My stars at the moment are breeding like zebras, painteds on eggs and chicks and of course the goulds are going gangbusters. 7 fledged yesterday!

I have the green singers on eggs

just fledged some Ruddies

The painted pair I have are sitting on 4 eggs...

the goulds are courting but no nests yet

My aviary is fully covered though and for the most part wind does not hit the front open bits.
