Getting Bengalese Finches

[Flight Feathers]

Flight Feathers to Make them have a nest each you will have to

Leave one pair in there to start a clutch and when the clutch has hatched and they are tearing the chicks then let the other pair in this way they won’t let them in the nest and the other pair should go into the other nest this is what I do

Oh okay that sounds good then! I’ll definitely try that. I’ve got plenty of cages so it should work.

And yeah that’s an even better idea just keep a female girl and put it with r other male

Yeah although I would like to get a different color bengalese too so not sure at this stage. And an unrelated one would be better because they might rematch up. (Do they do that?) I know that Zebs can be very disloyal to their mates. (Although not always)

Flight Feathers I’ve never had a societys that’s paired up seperate and breed with a diefferent one, the males try to but the females peck them away

Very nice Bengalese, fawns - and cresteds - are my favorites.

They do great in almost any number, and will usually breed well in trios.

In my experience they are loyal to their partners and not likely to re-pair, extra males in a trio may if new females could around, but females are happy to share one male.

You cannot get selfs from pieds though, the pied genes are virtually impossible to get rid of once present; the best you may get is a mostly solid bird with a few white chin feathers or wingtips, but it's not a self, just a single factor pied with little white.

Thank you! I’ve been pretty excited about getting them and I still find it hard to believe that I really have bengalese after months of hunting for them. I’m getting some more at the end of the year too

That’s good that they are loyal to their mates and will be fine in whatever number of them I decide to have.

Yes because the pied gene is dominant you cannot get a self if one of the parents is pied. I’m not too worried about getting selfs at the moment tho. I think the pied birds are just beautiful - such a lovely colouring.

Flight Feathers oh yeah your right I have a pied one and she amzing she’s all brown with two white marks abover her eyes , a full white belly and then one white feather at either end of her wings she’s lovely

I just like having the selfs because I like the pearls and want to breed my own

[Fraza]

And yeah course they get along in any number I had a picture once that shown loads and loads of society’s cramped into one bed they was W about 10 if not more in that one nest

Yeah Pieds are really cute! I’d like to breed selfs tho but at the moment I’m happy with any color! I’m hopefully getting some more bengalese near the end of the year.
