Cindy, they have had about 4 clutches now, and have never raised them beyond 2 weeks old. I just found a dead chick on the aviary floor last week. Stuck my finger in the nest and there were no others.

Sounds like they are lovin' the aviary! I lost my female RHF suddenly, she passed in her sleep in her roosting spot...there is a show in 2 weeks, hoping to get another female or him.

Yes but you need a pair of Melba finches in the aviary with them. They are parasitic and lay their eggs in the Melba's nest.
