Dont think there will much in the way of finchy babies this year , still think they are too young at the moment BUT do have a nest box full of Turquoise Parrots just starting to poke their heads out.
Sooooooooooo cute cant wait to see them out of the nest.

Hey Deb,

Do you have your turks in with finches?
Does anyone else out there have any good/bad experiences with mixing parrots and finches?

An Aviary tour i went on Monday Hunter Had Turks and Scarlet Chesteds mixed in with Finches.

Both the Finches and the Neophemas appeared to be breeding well.

The Aviaries were about 6m Long x 2m Wide x 2m High.

Not sure that i would mix in Say a smaller Aviary than 4m Long x 2m x 2m though.

Oh good theres hope for my new pair of emblemas then. I thought they might be too young this year, but I did notice the male chasing away the gouldian young from a certain area this morning. Also my male goldbreast is hopping in and out of different nests and on the floor with a feather in his beak (fingers crossed)

Have been warned about Turks and any other type of bird apparantly the Turks can be nippy and aggressive , so they have there own space on there own.
I do hope to put my Bourkes and Scarlets in with my Bengals and Yellow stars at some stage , they are compatable so I hear but of course they all have there own personalities and I can only try.
Other half handles the parrots when needed and the only ones to draw blood have been the Turks , he reckons they have a sharper bite than the Quarrions ( thats why he handles the parrots :lol: ) least if the finches bite its not like having a pit bull on your finger.
