Babies please!!

Post by jamezyboo21 » Wed Dec 31, 2008 1:58 am

I think there might be babies in the near future. Lately i have been catching my cordon bleus and orange cheek waxbills checking out nest and actually sleeping in them, they have never done this before. All i did was rearrange all the plants and nests and divided the aviary so half is the goulds and the other half is the pair of stars, orange cheek waxbills and cordon bleus. I did rehome my bronzewings because they were always breeding and they had 3 clutches hatch and die because they never fed them, i rehomed them because the were so aggressive to everyone else and they were scared to breed or even come to the other side of the flight. I also gave my friend my owl finch pair because the society male kept trying to breed with the female owl so now they are safe and in there own flight to themselves at my friends house. I hope these finches do something, especially the orange cheek waxbills, i still havent heard of anyone here who has bred them successfully.

I wish you luck with that. Sounds like you are giving them the privacy they may have wanted. Keep us up to date on any new nesting/breeding actions!

Well, maybe they were just excited about there new setup, i rearranged everything and that probably just made them curious. i dont know if any of them have nest becasue they havent touched the nesting material and everytime isee them there alwasy sitting on the plants or perches, there is plenty of room and privacy for them.
