Aussie Finch Forum

Well I can finally say that my siskins have built a nest and have got 3 eggs so far I got the hen from a good breeder at the wollongong finch club so I am hoping that the eggs will hatch and the parents will raise the young.

Apart from meal worms and daily greens Is there anything else that I can do to give them a better chance?

I'd be surprised if they bother with the mealworms at all. Greens in as wide variety as possible. When young hatch I'd give fresh greens twice/day if possible. Thistle heads, brocolli, leb cucumber, green grass seed heads, chickweed, dandelion & any broadleaf veges available. If you can possibly find milkthistle heads with green aphids on them this would be number 1 choice red siskin rearing food IMO. Good luck.

Mine love Sunflower kernels,you can buy them at Aldi.
