Can they be housed together? I read the finch info. Just wanted your opinions too. Figured someone here had better experience on this.
The aviary is 4.5 x 4.5 x 8. has 3 society pairs in there now.
would be adding a pair of Java's if you all think it would work
thanks,

I had javas with zebras and societies. No problem here. And never had one. And at the time they were in an indoor aviary 5x3x6.

thanks for the reply. I plan on getting the pair tomorrow, along with the 5 babies.
Hopping my friend will take the babies.
Thanks again...

Let us know if you got your birds.

Picked em up this mornin... They are so cute!!!! Did a ton of reading on the internet last night... So im a pro now!!! JUST KIDDING!!!

Anyhow, the parents are almost 2, the babies are weaned(somewhat) and eating on their own (somewhat) starting to get black coloring on their heads... I was going to sell the babies to a friend who has an aviary... but now... IDK...
Isnt that how it happens? a pair turns into several cause you think the babies are "too cute" for anyone else... hahaha!

All is good so far, not adding to the aviary yet, even though a bird shop near here said I could. Hmmm... The society babies started hatching today... should have 8 in the next few days. there is a pet store near here that takes the babies from me and trades for food! Not bad huh? ( or other birds) thats how I got the canary..

Anyhow, my bird crazieness is growing... The canary is in the house and sings up a storm... Just love that lil guy!
The lovebirds have started feeding each other and looks like they will nest soon, they are in a large cage in my daughters room.
And outside in the Aviary and the societies 2 pairs both with eggs and/or babies and 1 (lonely) spice. Soon to have the Java's in there too. didnt realize the size of these birds... Makes the others look so small.

The fella I got them from had the Javas's in an avairy with Goulds. (kinda thought that was weird) but he said they have all been together for over a year. this batch of babies is the Java's second.
I may split them next month to give them a rest. From what I read... they like to breed.

Sounds like you're hooked. Enjoy!

I plan on getting the pair tomorrow, along with the 5 babies.
