keeping ruddies

[Jayburd]

fair enough.
However, your big aviary would hold one pair of those species you have listed max.

yeah i am going to plant it with tee tree for cover, and what new types of finches did you get?

[Jayburd]

good choice, I have ti tree, and I had it in my old aviaries, they love it!
Look at my signature and my topic in the finch lounge

[jusdeb]

So does this mean you have had a change of heart re. foreign birds ?

I hope so, there's a whole world of beautiful finches out there and there not all Aussies.

Of course Aussie birds are the best

[nathan morley]

I still like Australian birds the best, but I went to my local pet super store and they had heaps of wax bills and I really liked the look of them and I want to get them but I know nothing about them, because I only have experience with Australian birds.

With all the birds you say that you are getting your aviary must cover your complete yard.
You also said that your second aviary was to hold the young birds, if you are now filling your new aviary with breeding birds where are you keeping the youngsters?
As I said in response to another of your posts, that one regarding double bars, you in my opinion do not have the space to keep all the birds you would like.
Before you try keeping another species of finch why not get rid off your zebras, this would create a lot more space in your aviaries.

[nathan morley]

I only have 10 pairs of birds, I will sell the babies straight to the pet shop.

[Mickp]

Nathan you know you cant sell the young birds that quick after fledging. it takes 3 to 4 weeks for them to be weaned from the parents.
meantime a second clutch may have been hatched and fledged. oh bummer your aviary is overcrowded.
all people here are trying to do is help you, why not listen to what is said rather than arguing the point.

Mick what types of finches do you keep?
