FINCHforum

Rancel, it looks great!! And congrats on the new PF's!!!! Who will be living in the flight?

Wow, love the new flight and the Blue-faced Parrots!!! My golly, they are gorgeous!!! Are they a confirmed male and female pair? They have tons of room to fly so the parrot finches should stay nice and lean. I love how decorated your aviary is -- it looks like a tropical rain forest. What did you end up trading? Canaries? Your gorgeous vibrant fire finches?

Your flight is beautifully planted - and the BF Parrot Finches are breathtaking! Great photos!

very nice flight and your finches are gorgeous!

Your pictures seems to be a real game! A game named: " How many birds you can see ?! " I saw 8 ! Are there more?

Great aviary and great pictures!
Best of luck with it

It's an I Spy Game! Beautiful aviary and beautiful finches!! Congrats!!!

Very nice, well bushed up. So Green, PF will be hard to find as they blend in well. Are all the plants fake or are you using a combination of live and fake.

Beautiful aviary, your birds should be very happy with it!

Isn't lutino sex-linked? If so, the females cannot be split, they are either normal or visually mutation. If your male is split to lutino, if paired with a normal hen, you have a chance of getting lutino hens.

very nice rancel. looks like a little rain forest
verrry jealous of your bf parrot finches im working on getting a pair as well!

Beautiful, Rancel! Your birds will like all that cover -- they will feel they are in the wild.

I absolutely adore PF's and I know you will love yours too. Be sure to keep us updated on how they are doing.

I have Lutino BF's but they are two females and I've been so busy I haven't even tried (yet) to find them split or Lutino BF males. (Plus $$ is kind of tight right now ).

Let us know how your new space works out with your birds and what you might do differently as well -- I'm always trying to learn how to improve my own cages/aviary.

Thanks Rancel it was hard to spot them in one of the pics so I do understand it would be hard to see them. Fake plants will work best when there is little to no Sun so stick with what works. I was just curious as there seemed alot of plants and such a vibrant Green I was wondering if there was a live one in there. As for the lutino PF they are a weaker than the normal and I have known a guy that was trying to breed them and he found that alot did die after fledging and only a few would survive and this is why they have a high price value. Once the mutation becomes as strong as the normal and babies are being breed in higher numbers then the price will start to drop.

Very nice . Can you please put a picture of the whole cage from the outside. How do you plan to clean poo from all this plants? What do you use for ground covering? Sand?
