Aussie Finch Forum

Maybe their to old having them for 8years they be just about to RIP, but I assume that you have brought new ones as well. Are they attempting to build, how many pairs do you have and do you have the same sex ratio. 4 baskets and 9 nest boxes is what I remember you told me, don't have them to close to each other and vary the heights and see what happens in spring. You could also try to swap some.

no i have had about 5 diffrent pears over 8 years an none have breed
they are atemping, an i have the 4 cane nests all over the side ware its planted an one is in the plants, an the nest boxes are all over the back wall
i did do research thats were i got this infomation from that im talking about.

How big is their avairy? How many birds are in it? Are all your finches in together? The more we know the more we can help.

in the same aviary i have 8 gouldians 2 gouldian chicks 5 zebras 2 mannikans an 1 cockatial but his old, i have 9 nest boxes 4 can nests for them to nest in the aviary is planted an i have a pond an 2 feeding stations an 1 water bowl

How big is it?

Is it correct what someone said that it is 5 x 3 metres? Cause if so this should be just about right. Though I would not add any more birds to it.

5 x 3

That's a good size!
Maybe try getting another Zebra to make it 3 pairs, rather than 2, because two pairs often struggle. The cockatiel may also be causing a problem, I know Cockatiels are very agressive, and this could be pressuring the Finches. 8 Pairs in 15m2 is on the upper end of comfort, so maybe with the Cockatiel...

so do u think i need to get rid of my cockatial?

I wouldn't be in the authority to say, but I know that mine, and my neighbors cockatiels are pretty damn feisty!
