Its amazing what little birds will move around 2 make there nests. I've watched mine carrying some what i thought were big looking twigs around but thats unreal good luck with them.

Thanks Finch mad they have nearly half filled the nest with the twigs

Mine have left the nest they made the other week no babies they look like they might b making another as i have watched the cock bird collecting bits o swamp grass. Feeding them live food now wasnt b4 so hopefully they do something this time. How often do i give the birds the live food (mealworms)? They dont last real long the stars and bf parrot finched swallow them in 1 go the painted seem 2 take there time getting them down funny 2 watch.

I would feed them daily, but you will have tpo keep it up

mine have mealworm made available twice a day. first thing in the morning (straight after the all important first cup of coffee for me) and again at about 5pm
