had this pair of cordons for 4 years . each year they have had 3-4 nests from sept- april and without fail fledge 5-6 young every time. check out the young cock birds red cheek patch already showing , only fledged two days ago.

Beautiful Birds - was drooling at the same species in Birds R Us today while I was in the lower Hunter. Don't let that strain die out

Congrats and keep up the good work Avishoot.....

Congratulations. That's a bloodline to keep, being reliable and steady is good.

have been feeding frozen ants for over 18 months now . best thing ive done in 25 years of breeding finches. used to feed live ants but due to mines buying up all the properties i had access to. i now travel upto 1.5 hours each way to get ants . i knock the ants out and store in plastic food containers then store in freezer for up to 3 months. benefits are that you get 100% of the ants you collect , easier for others when they are looking after your birds , less time required in morning to feed, and most importantly the birds breed well, including melbas & auroras .

Can you send me a couple hens

ditto on the hens!

Thats a great pr you have.I wonder how much longer they can keep it up for,since they are atleast 4 years old.
