Blue Cap Cordon Blue breeding

Post by FinchsRUS » Sun May 14, 2017 6:30 pm

I have recently acquired Blue Cap Cordon Blues, two hens and a male. The male was a single bird and I was lucky enough to find two hens. Two have paired up and seem interested in building a nest. What are the favorite nesting supplies and food for BCCBs?

Our pair of BCCB's like the large wicker baskets for nesting and coco fiber for the nesting material. For food they like a good quality finch seed, mini-meal worms for live food, dried insect food, sprouted seed, and spray millet. They love to take baths daily.
