Aussie Finch Forum

Hi reading about finches breeding in winter and not a good idea....how do you stop them. I feed mine the same diet all year round at the moment I have 3 lots of stars with babies in the nest. Another pair of stars have built a nest and also 2 pairs of Painted are sitting on eggs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Some birds breeding time is through winter...depends on locations.. my painteds are trying at the moment also

Stars breed this time of year, here in SE QLD. Mine are on eggs as well.

My stars at the moment are breeding like zebras, painteds on eggs and chicks and of course the goulds are going gangbusters. 7 fledged yesterday!

I have the green singers on eggs

just fledged some Ruddies

The painted pair I have are sitting on 4 eggs...

the goulds are courting but no nests yet

My aviary is fully covered though and for the most part wind does not hit the front open bits.

Thanks for all your replies .....I will just let nature take it's course.
