I live in Sydney and my Red face parrot finches have had two clutches in quick succession. First clutch had 3 fledglings. Second clutch has 3 chicks ready to fledge in about a week.
Already the male is chasing the female around the aviary. Female appears to be in good health.
It is now mid October so should I allow them one more clutch?

If the hen is not afirst year mother I would, weather conditions in sydney are good not stifling hot but a little humidity.

With weather warming from now on a 3rd clutch won't be a problem for them. I'd let them go for sure.

No problems with taking 3 clutches from Gouldians . . which the 'experts' tell us are parrot-finches . .
Though they go from hot weather into cold for their 'season'
