Can I get everyone's input as to which finch species (one adult pair) ...will breed successfully in a breeding cage 30"x18"x18"?

I'll start with my list of birds that have bred successfully in that size -

Cordon Bleus
Cuban Melodious
Green Singers
Lady Gouldians
Senegal Fire Finches
Shaftails
Societies
Stars
Zebras

Funny that you wrote this post at a time I am looking at my owls and goldbreast flight and debating moving my older two pairs of owls to a divided 30x18x18 cage. I have goldbreast hatch out young and abandon half way though raising them. The owls switch nest like we change socks. Flights are great and pretty but no one has raised to weaning a clutch of young yet except the shaftails which are in a single species flight.

The only ones I haven't tried yet are the shaftail's, everyone else on my little list has already made good use of this amount of space. :wink:
