Congratulations. They are my favourite finch. I used to have a colony in an aviary but far too many males, and I never managed to breed them.

I love watching them dance and perform.

I remember going to Featherdale Wildlife Park once and seeing about 8 young birds flying around just out of the nest. I tracked down the guy that was looking after them and he said that he did nothing special, just had seeding grass in their aviary and left them alone.

Good luck.
