Aussie Finch Forum

If you had a spare 3.85 long X 2.45 deep X 1.85 high aviary what would you put in it?

I am thinking goulds (3-4 pairs) and green singers (1 pair) with a pair of diamonds.

do you think my suggested combo will work out?

Thanks

Gouldians and diamonds would be ok,i had a bit of trouble with green singers and gouldians.My green singers took a dislike to them,maybe too much yellow body colour and they thought they maybe a threat to them.
Why don't you try an all aussie finch collection. Craig

It all depends on how labour intensive you're wanting it to be , and how much effort is required to maintain the aviary .
Cost is also a major factor ...
If it were my aviary I would run a pair of White Eared Masks , Diamonds , Double bars and pair of Strawberries and some BFPFs ... but the combos are endless .
Actually scrub that ... If cost were not a factor , I'd run a pair of Blue Caps on their own or a pair of WB Crimsons .
It really all comes down to what works for you and suits your availability

I have an aviary with those exact birds and it works well for me,the only thing is when the green singers are at nest the goulds become a bit to inquisitive ,but are soon moved on by the singers,the diamonds take a corner where there is brush and away they go,i think its a good combo,garyh

Does this mean final approval has been granted for a new aviary? If so congratulations. And why 3-4pr gouldians?

Never liked gouldians but they have grown on me recently.....

As you know Sam, approval is never final until the birds are in the "new" aviary or the boss is away on holiday...in which case I would be working through a very long list of jobs

Spare aviary that size? I know people who would kill for 1 that size! Me personally, I would use it for a fledgling cage so that the breeding pairs are not disturbed when trying to go for the second or third clutch. Lucky you to have a "spare" that size.

You now have at least half the forum green with envy. A spare avairy is our idea of heaven. Good luck with whatever you decide on.
