1 finch possessive of 2 nests
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2018 11:46 am
Hi, some advice required. I have 2 female Australian finch ´sisters’ , 5 years old, in a large cage. They always sit huddled together grooming each other etc, all very cute and amicable. On a recent supermarket trip I spotted and brought a little wicker nest that sits on the inside of cage. It has room for both birds to snuggle but only one did, and I never noticed whether the other tried and no room, or was not allowed in to sit with her sister. So I brought a 2nd thinking they could have one each, and after watching today I spotted the same finch going for her sister if she attempted to get in the 2nd one! Basically she seems to want both for herself. She now loves sitting in the nest but I feel bad for the other one that they don’t sit together anymore- my question should I remove both nests completely, or move 1 nest to other side of cage and try that?
Any advice would be great,
Thanks,
Amy.
