I have picked up 3 pairs of Pictorellas, I think I have everything in place for a successful breeding season but time will tell

'Piccies' love whiteants when they have young . .
But . . WILL raise young with only copious supplies of green seed and 'greens' such as celery, bokchoi etc
With a combination of both of the above, you will breed heaps . .
And, they are tough little critters

No new species, but going to try a new variation. 
WA Fancy Zebs. Suspect it could take a year or two to be happy with the results but.

Since I finished my Aviary in April I have , Orange Breasts, Stars, Long-Tails all with young and Diamonds currently on eggs but i have only had the Diamonds for 3 weeks.
so they are all new species for me.

I should have included mutations in the question too. Good luck with them!finchbreeder wrote: 15 Aug 2018, 23:01 No new species, but going to try a new variation.
