Although the aviary is not yet ready i have started acquiring nests and trees. Got two types of nests till now with another 3 types which are on their way.
This morning i went to one breeder to see what he had and i could not resist placing my order with him. Will be picking up what i chose in the next 2-3 weeks. From this particular breeder, whom i might add has very good quality finches i bough 4 x long tailed finches, 4 x diamond firetail finches (2 red and 2 orange beek mutations) 2 x parson finches, 6 x bengalese finches and 2 x star finches. Unfortunately i was not able take photos of these as they were in big cages.
Went to another breeder to see his gouldians (he breeds only gouldians and competes in local bird shows) with the intent of ''seeing'' but i could not resist buying 4 little beauties which i ended up getting home already.. houses to my regret in a rather small cage for the time being till the aviary is up and running (2-3 weeks) I believe the 4 gouldians are 2 men and 2 women. Correct me if im wrong ?
