Thoughts on this mix
Posted: 09 Jan 2014, 11:35
Hi,
Getting back into keeping finches after 20+ years from when I was a teenager. Have been keeping Zebras and Gouldians for the last year or so but just upgraded to a proper aviary..size is 3.3m (L) x 1.7 (w) x 2 (h). Not massive but should be a good start.
I love finches for the colours and variety in size and behaviour. So want a nice mixed aviary with some breeding too.
I am planning the following mix and would like opinions if it will work.
Star Finch 1pr
Painted 1pr
Red Brow 1pr
Double Bars (preferably 2-3pr)
(perhaps adding cordon's at a later date).
I would also like to add some Gouldians but have read conflicting opinions. I think one pair of Gouldians would be no problems but what if I had 2-4 pairs? Would they becoma aggressive and/or interfere with the other birds?
Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
