Its a shame no nests as there roost in a nest.finchbreeder wrote:I have a young pair, last seasons chicks. Not this good but getting towards what I want. They laid, and hatched a chick, but unfortunately I had put them in an avairy full of moulting Gouldians and the "pretty pests" kept bothering them. Particularly as they have now finished moulting and started wanting the nest. So when the baby vanished the other day I removed the nest. The poor Bengos get to breed only when the other birds are in off season. Due to space constraints. So mostly my poor Bengos live in a nest free zone. And I don;t get as much breeding done with them as I would like.

In my experience every bengalese goes to a nest to roost, its funny how they go to bed so early compared to all the other finches, I have about 27 up there now & when I go up to check them, all the other finches are still feeding ect but not one bengalese to be seen.finchbreeder wrote:Roosting nests are a lot less of a problem with our weather, so the Bengos, Zebs, Javas etc that are kept away from the others most of the year are fine. And even when they are with the others some prefer to roost and some don't. Observation over many years indicates that you are correct in that the majority prefer to roost however.
