Aussie Finch Forum

Very helpful folks .Thank you all .

Deb,
I have found that late July I start to up the ante on food varieties, my birds seemed to be triggered into thinking, weel its that time of year and start looking for nesting material and claiming their terriitory. I stop this about late march unless i have a lot of young in nests. I still give some treats but I only give one of something for the week, such as endive then the next week something different leb cucumber and so on until early July. I have found no matter the weather conditions they know when they get extra treats its time to start partnering up. Theonly I change for the finches I give some "fatty seeds" to help through winter

Yes Shox thats about what I was thinking , thanks for the post, Im on the right track now .


This should work fine for all but the Kaks who might want to breed through the cooler months , we will see. And any on eggs now of course .

your just being a grandmother spoiling her children, its a bit like giving grandkids chocolate all the time, they expect it without having to earn
