Aussie Finch Forum

There not many around winter as it can get quite cool here sometimes

all of your birds should love the maggots. even my gouldians get stuck in

hey greg, if u like i can send my tube down with the kids at easter if ur having trouble with it, u can use it to copy a few, then i"ll get it later, let me know

Thanks Pete i might take you up on that as it is a lot easier to copy then to make from a image.

no worries, when i can get onto my son and see what hes up to (on the bloody ph to some sheila) i will organise some grass and i will get him to take it down at easter when he heads back, catcha

Thanks Pete

heres a photo of a maggot factory i bought at Mildura.just got to work out what to do with it

Thats nice gomer, would make a good hospital cage

Gomer
That looks a nice set up but it definitely wont work without flies & I am afraid that at this time of year the only way you could get some is to get some maggots or pupae of some one else who breeds them...?
I was going to try to explain how to go about it but then I remembered Marcus Pollards article which is pretty good http://www.finchsociety.org/cfa/livefood/flies.htm
I really believe any finch breeder that is serious needs to feed maggots if a constant supply of white ants is not available.
