FINCHforum

I cleanes the aviary out and put the finches back in it. It is still getting cold at night so i added a heat lamp in the cage. I have decided to keep 2 trios of societies in the house all year round just in case they are needed to foster. The javas will probably go out after they finish raising there babies. They are in my room right now. The aviary is in the garage for now till i can put it outside at when its warmer at night. The zebras in the aviary will also be moved to there own flight cage half the size of the aviary when it warms up at night. Then it wont look so crowded in the aviary.

HERE ARE A FEW PICS:

I love seeing pics of flocks.

I know you are glad the warner weather is on it's way back. What a cold winter we had.
Your birds look great and I didn't know you had stars
I like the Black cheeks too

I have a black face black breast zebra that i paired up with a florida fancy. Trying to get a phaeo zebra. I have had stars for long time and i kept one of there babies and just paired him up with a female that i bought from this past show.

Please be careful with the greenery you have in there still attached to the stalk - I can't tell you how many finches I've lost in those spots.

The clear picture that shows the RH Gouldian on top of the area that can be a hazard. They get their feet stuck and when they struggle to get free - they can break their legs or even pinch toes.

Very pretty birds you have - I love the OH WB YB male

Thank You for telling me about that. I didnt think about that. I guess i will have to take them out and put something else in their for the finches.

That or just cut the stems off of the main stalk and attach them with clothespins or something like that. I use greenery too but just have learned the hard way.

Okay..I have cut the stems off the palnts and added a few more to make the nests a little more hidden. I havent really bothered the finches since i put them in becasue they went straight to nest building and i have seen them all mating. I have a feeling there are a few nests in there right now with eggs but i dont want to bother them with nests checks because i really want the parents all to raise there babies this time on there own.

Wish you great success.
