Green Singers & Gouldians

Post by ranchnanny » Fri Sep 16, 2011 12:48 am

What do you all think about having Green Singers in my flight with the owls, oc's, societies & gouldians?

I want to rehome my Spice Finches cause they are so nervous/flighty everything seems to set them to panic.

Your comments please. :)

I have GS in with various finches including Gouldians - so it should be fine as long as there are no nests or nesting materials in the cage.

You have to be very care full with green singers.
They don't like other yellow birds with them when they are nesting.
I had one that attacked a yellow canary twice his size and almost killed it.
When breeding keep them seperate and away from yellow birds!

My GS are in a flight with Society's. Sometimes they chase each other, but nothing aggressive. My other GS pair is in a flight with Fires, St. Helena, Red Ear, and Lavenders. They just ignore each other and there are nests too. Both my Lavender and GS have eggs/hathclings. So, yours should be fine as long as there is space enough between the nests, perches and food dishes, water dishes on each end of flight.

Well maybe that isn't a good idea for me with the yellow belly Gouldians :?:

Are there any other finch I could put in the flight cage with my owls, societies, ocwb's & gouldians that would be compatible... :?:
