star finch houseing

Post by finchboiuk » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:19 pm

okay well i wantto get pair of star finches i have a big flight avairy for summer but i kinda want something in the house that is pretty and will breed but abit more of a chalange
i allready have zebras, bengalses, javas, cutthrughs, canaries, dailmond doves and a goldfinch mule so i know ait about breeding and i have found most of the birds pretty easy to breed but other than the cuts are that pretty so i want a pretty bird :D if u understand what i mean

so my question is what size cage will i need for a hen and a cock to have enought space to fly about and would be confertible to breed and maybe keep some of the young in in the winter
thanks in advance Greg :)

I have my YF Stars in a 28x18x28 cage for breeding. They do fine and join the others in the larger flight when not breeding.

I think the stars will do well any standard breeding size cage.
Mine do not fly around like my other finches in my flight cage; they prefer the parts of the cage with the most greenery.
Best of luck to you! I plan on pairing mine up again in the next few weeks in a 30x18x18 cage filled with plant and nesting material.
