Another "Guess what i came home with today" topic :D
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2015 3:15 am
Those who follow the forum and read all new threads regularly know that; i was in search of the new species and losing my mind on how to house them.
Plan was holding until we receive the custom made cages and get the birds a day after we receive and decorate the new huge flights.
Ofc i could only hold this much and told my wife ``i can`t wait any longer
``
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
We went to see Dave (north scottsdale AZ) ``birdproducts.com `` and spent an hour with him checking all aviaries learning more about the species he is selling and breeding.
Anddddddddddddddddddd
we came home with!!!!!!!!!!!!
A female green singer for our baby boy. (he got scared of her for some time but they slept together on the perch at the end of the day)
A pair of strawberries
A pair of red cheeked cordon bleus
A pair of lavenders
I was really concerned about not giving them live food and making them unhealthy and upset but he said he never gives his birds any live food either unless they catch stuff in the aviary. He gave me his special seed blend, egg meal blend and dried insect blend. Also millet, fresh fruit vegetables and boiled egg. So this will be their food.
We decided to house green singer pair alone in a 36x20x22"h cage
strawberry, lavender and red cheek pair in 60x26x30"h cage
once the cages arrive.
Large cage can be divided if needed; also we will have 3x 30x18x18"h spare breeding cages for possible breeding/ babies or aggression that will be vacated after the arrival of the new cages.
I am still considering to house green singers with red cheeks since they are close size wise and ladygouldian finch chart says that is possible. Haven`t made up my mind fully on this.
For the moment strawberry and lavender`s are housed in one 30x18x18
green singers in one and red cheeks in one 30x18x18.
Can`t wait to hear them chirping tomorrow morning
I will post some pictures tomorrow.
Also check this rainforest project of paradise earth that they will start building in Arizona very close to where i live; soon
He gave us the good news that construction will start soon. http://www.paradiseearth.com/project.html

Just don't kid yourself, you will see other species along the way, fall in love , turn to your wife, and like Oliver Twist say: "Please, I want some more. .."
i promise i will get better pictures when they are in the new cages with better adjustments.
