Aussie Finch Forum

Good evening (perhaps morning in Kuwait) all,

I live in a small country town in a cold bit of NSW. Nonetheless, my various australian and exotic finches seem happy here and are breeding as prolifically as I am.
I havejust started breeding up some liveys for the spring rush, and have a strong lad coming at 0700 hours to help me put another 80sq.m. under wire, using the flimsy pretext of a new chookhouse. ("Isn't this rather a lot of timber for a chookhouse, dear?").

Looking forward to learning much, and maybe swapping a few birdies: I currently have too many blue-faced parrot finches, and would love some plumheads or redbrows.

Yours,
mm.

G'day and welcome 80 square good luck

hello and welcome...pete

Yes, the blue-faces were doing alright until I read something about them using bamboo litter for nesting. I gave them some wide green blades of Phalarus which they have really taken to, and they are going off despite a hard winter and the removal of most boxes, and managing about three fledged/clutch. I heard it was something to do with their habit of not clearing faecal sacs out of the nest, so they require a sort of septic sump, but I have seen them cleaning out the brood so I don't know.

Welcome matty to the forum only a few more posts and you will have use of the classifieds area.
