Aussie Finch Forum

I was lucky enough to have 3 long tails fledge about nearly 3 weeks ago (first finches I have bred in about 30 years) When would it be a good time to remove them to a holding cage? So the parents can get on with producing some more.
cheers, Scott

Hi,


i breed Long tails and i remove the youngsters 45 days after they were born, usualy when i do not hear them screaming for food to ther parents.
Usualy one week, one week and a half they start incubatig again

I all ways leave my finches a minimum of 42 days from hatching but make sure they are eating and drinking plenty,when they are put into the nursery flights make sure there are plenty of feeding and drinking sites.

My records are clearly not as accurate as others! I just catch them up once their beaks begin to change colour.

Thanks for all the advice.
cheers
