Nest or no nest?

Post by Dave H » Wed Jun 19, 2019 3:53 am

So my 2 society finches sleep on their high perch. Am I depriving them of comfortability & a safe feeling by not having a nest? Or are some perch sleepers, & some nest sleepers?

I don't know their sexes, although one fans 'his' tail & sings a cute little song swaying side to side, so Im thinking a male possibly?

They're fine sleeping on a perch, but if you want them to breed add a nest.
Have a nice day!

If you have two male gouldians can you add in a nest or will that just cause troubles? Also will you need to get two nests so they each have their own if you do?

I had thought I read someplace here that two males will bond with each other when there is no female and will even sleep in the same nest. Is this true?

Thanks Cathy

Do you think it sounds like I have a male & female then?

Bryan two males in my experience has always bonded but I’ve never had gouldians, I presume they should be the same


@"Dave H" if one is singing it’s a male if one has never sung then it most likely a female
