Very good choice Nathan, cutting out some old birds for new ones would be a great choice in the end and it will give you a new variety of birds to master.

Thanks Deb and Shox I think those species will mix well together in a mixed aviary and I hope they will breed I am planing to etend it a third time in the future so it will be 8m long all planted up niceley I am righting an artical in the newsletter about my aviary part one ( before it was extended) and part two when I extend it (next week I am building an connecting the new aviary to the old one and it will be a 6m long aviary all up).

Thanks Nathan

Good stuff nathan. I wish you luck. i rekon you should do well with the blue faced and painteds. The double bars are good birds but harder to sex and to a degree harder to get breeding. But if you get a good little colony of them going you should do great.

Thanks Ben I hope I can get some of them to breed. I was thinking of seperating the colony of double bared finches and putting them in my 2x2x2 aviary I just bort and have the rest of the finches in the other and have a trio of quail in each one do you think that is a good idea to put the double bared finch colony on it own? .

Thanks Nathan

There pretty unobtrusive. But having said that mine were in a out of every other birds nest constantly. So they were a bit of a pain but look if youve got plenty of space you will be fine. There definatly not agro and usually are the first ones to be harrassed my red cheek cordons used to bully them becuz of there nest hopping a roosting antics
