Today I discovered ,
That my star finches were breeding they have built a nest out of Grass,Swamp Grass,Emu feathers and whit feathers they made it on there own without any breeding aids so hopefully they will have a big clutch of babies.

Thanks Nathan

Some pairs can be flaky about nest inspections, so as this is their first, it would be best not to interfere with the nest at all. Down the track you can experiment a bit and see if they will put up with an occasional peek...
