Wow I would love to keep a couple of those, but I haven't the facilities or the know how yet.

i'm in the same boat, but don't know if they are are compatible with my lot. probably a good place to ask!! would they be compatible with a mixed collection of diamonds, emblemas, masked grassfinches, gouldians, double bars, plumheads and redbrows? also, what kind of food and feeding regime is necessary?

cheers

I think I will have to work my way up the blue bird chain before I take on those! I think you have to go out collecting spiderwebs for the nests!

spiderwebs no problem here!!! loads of daddy longlegs everywhere, i call it "future planning", mum calls it laziness

best to keep them in a well planted aviary by themselves,maybe with less fragile birds that dont require live food, they can be nice one minute then turn the next, need a well planted aviary with lots of places for the hen hide . as i have found if in a cage with lack of cover and plenty of local wrens around , it can send the male a bit nuts as he cant get the birds out side so he goes the poor hen which can be fatal.....pete

okay, thanks pete. another to go on the future list (already includes crimsons and some munias...)

Hey spanna,may be worth sending garymc a pm.He`s had a fair bit of success and i dont think his avairies are all that heavily planted.

How much are they per pair ?
