Will this WORK???

Post by jamezyboo21 » Sat Aug 30, 2008 2:30 pm

I am building a 8' long, 4' tall, 2 ft' wide cage that will be split into 4 flights. Meaning each flight will be 4' long, 2' tall, and 2' wide.

Im thinking the flights will be like this:

Flight 1. 4 pairs. goulds

Flight 2. 1 pair of each. stars, bronze wings, spice

Flight 3. 1 pair of each. owls, red cheek cordons, societies

Flight 4. 1 pair of each. St. Helena, orange cheek,and goldbreasted waxbill


I will be using my old flight for zebras, shaft tails, green singing, and cut throat finches

For breeding or just to house birds?

For both, i tried to seperate them so there would only be 6-8 birds in each flight and if they do have babies i will have another setup to sperate the baby males from the baby females.

it may be a bit small for 4 pairs of gouldians especially if you plan to let them breed in there. I've always found gouldians to like their privacy even from their own kind during breeding season
Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.

Perhaps 3 pairs of Gouldians? Odd numbers seem to work better for housing breeding birds.
I don't have any finches right now but I used to, I'll try to provide my knowledge around the forum
