Hello All,

Just wondering about getting supply of live finch food. eg. termites and fruit flies. What's the best way to get these critters for your aviary without creating pests?

Cheers,

I use termites all the time.I keep the nest pieces in a old esky covered with a damp cloth.They don't like the light and stay in the nest pieces I put a small smear of petroleum jelly around the lip more to stop the black ants getting in than to stop escapees.
