Aussie Finch Forum

I'm Damian from Mudgee.
Have not kept any birds since leaving home 22 years ago.
Bread budgies and Zebras. Have kept many Parrats sp. My favourite of all was a Chicken Hawk I hand raised, awesome bird, would walk down the shops on my sholder, was always free to come and go.

Any way, I dought I will ever have a similar experience, however I now have kids of my own and are going to set up a finch aviary for them to experience.

At this stage I am still researching to see how things have changed, get ideas on the breads I would like to keep and tips on setting up cage to suit.

Any way, Hi all !!!

Welcome Damian,Sure would have been an experiance with a pet Hawk.I would start with the non licenced finches in your state if i was you.

Thanks Gomer, the aviary will be a display at the end of a BBQ padio area, will be looking for a few compatable species of finch/softbills. No breading in this one, may be further down the track in other aviarys.

Where can I find info on which do/do not require permits?

G'day and welcome to the AFF.

Good luck getting back into birds - the hobby has exploded in that time and the number and variety of birds available is now amazing!
