Aussie Finch Forum

finchy and blue cuban sum it up.

Blood lines, environment plus immune system all three lead to the death of these birds.

I habe purchased adults that last but young i bred drop and i consider myself up there with regards to bird care.

Hope you can breed some more this season.

I'd like to get my hands on these pair but the daughter won't hand them over...lol

Im happy to send you a pair....

Rich.

Thats what I want to see in my avairy some time in the not too distant future. Very nice looking pair.

Though confirming so many split blues seems 'fortunate', it sounds as though you lost all of their blue offspring quite quickly. That's very unfortunate, but a typical experience for most outdoor breeders.

This is starting to turn into a seperate topic but with my own advice regarding looking at current practices and blood lines I've senses had excellent improvement in results.

I will start a another topic once this season is over reporting my results, must say I'm pretty pleased with my efforts and have come to realise that when breeding blues there is only a few things that are a must with success to follow.
They are not as fragile as a lot of people make them out to be.

I admire your optimism, after losing every blue chick.

Do be careful who you believe. There are a small number of highly commercially motivated sellers around, who will spin you a tale for their gain.

I sincerely hope you are right, despite the early evidence. Best of luck .
