Hi All

Came back after a few years away from the forum.

Been a busy last few years & just moved to bigger farm 100 acres further north to north of Whangarei in New Zealand in last few months.

But still got a small collection of doves finches & neophemas I've held onto just busy re building some better aviaries at new place.

Thanks
Henry

Hi all,

Just joined the forum and saying Hi to all.

I first got into the hobby of keeping and breeding finches and canaries when I was 8 years old, when dad and I built our first aviary using the old outhouse as the sheltered component of the aviary. The outhouse was packed with Teatree bush with the flighted area of the aviary having a grassed surface with bottlebrush trees, staghorn and birds nest palms planted in the aviary. During the next 50 or so years, moving house, marrying etcetera I have built a further 6 aviaries and have kept and bred different species of finches with Gouldian's and Painteds being my all-time favorite finches to keep and breed.

Thanks.

[Hi Aidan,
I am really just concentrating on Gouldian's and painteds for now. The only other finches I have is a pair of yellow headed stars]
