I'm surprised by that- more than half of my zebs in outdoor (unheated) aviaries are still breeding down here in Melbourne!

You can get November Grass (swamp grass) for about $20.00 a rammed 20 kg finch seed bag, much cheaper than buying those small bags.

I usually buy my swamp grass either through my bird club or from the sales. There is usually a guy at the sales selling bags about the sized of a very well packed pillowcase. Ive probably posted pics here somewhere I will find them and put the link in.

price at the Avicultural Society of SA Bird Sale
