Yet another sisking breeding question...
Posted: 01 Dec 2016, 16:21
Hi all,
never owned a pair of yellow siskins so sorry about the plethora of questions! I have now removed the canaries and goldfinches out of the aviary (and these birds are doing pretty well in their own cages, building their nests, etc). I think the cock siskin is starting to come into condition - he's singing a lot now! However, my female siskin is a bit funny in the way that it builds a nest using the canary cup nest i provided, half-way done, she builds one on the other side of the aviary... yesterday, I put in a plant into my aviary, the jade plant (aka lucky money) and just this afternoon, i see her building a nest there! she occasionally sits on the other nests she has built. Also, the nests are no where near as intricate and well built as the canaries... So, question is, what should I do - should i just let her be?
Cheers,
Fraudster.
