All is good with them being together, the only time the Goulds get agressive is with nestsCraig52 wrote:Hi Werty, that is what this topic is about, if your gouldians don't get on with your zebs why are you keeping them together. I know you are going to say lack of aviaries but if they don't get on you need to think about separating one or the other or just breeding one or the other.
Even though you say they breed well,the stress in your aviary must be over the top. I'm not arguing with you just giving a bit of constructive advice. Craig
2 clutches of 9??? clearly would like to see pics of that...werty wrote:
All is peaceful again, the zebs population is quickly climbing now, had 2 clutches of 9 leave the nest just yesterday
As for stress being high?
According to the health of my birds and big clutches being produce, clearly shows no stress in the aviary
Either that or more than one hen laying in the same nest.werty wrote:... had 2 clutches of 9 leave the nest just yesterday

Both gouldians and zebs lay big clutchesCraig52 wrote:Probably that Tiaris or the aggressive gouldians are making them all nest in just two nests. Please be reminded though that we all have different experiences with our birds and if this is Werty's experience then so be it. Craig
He is talking about Zebs.....never seen Zebs with more than 5 young.... but like all his statements never backs them up with pics.....E Orix wrote:Last season I had a pair fledge a 9 and followed up with an 8.
This season they are on their 2nd nest, fledged 5 and are feeding 5 again.
They are exceptional parents and all chicks fledge to the perch and don't spend any time running
around the aviary floor.
I only run normal Black headed these days
