Green Twinspots (Schlegel)

[MLaRue]

Hi Everyone,

I just met Donna this weekend and I'm thinking she would love the Schlegels since she loves the Painted Finch.

Is anyone on the forum working with this species?

Misty! Do you have this bird? Is it yours? Beautiful!!!!

I can see it didn't take you too long to get to know me.

Yes, I love it.

Hi Donna,

Yes, I have three pairs. These are one of my favorites! I love their colors and they have wonderful personalities.

Misty, I have a Greenbacked Twinspot male--is that the same as the Schlegel's? I bought a pair at a mart, but the hen dropped dead while being transferred into my cage. I may be able to get another hen later this month. This guy is so sweet, but surprisingly timid for a Twinspot. He was beaten up by a Red-faced Parrot finch, but he has never picked on anyone I have put him with.

Misty,
Do you have your 3 pairs in an aviary together or do you have each pair individually caged? They are beautiful birds.
I also checked out your photography..... breath taking Absolutely beautiful

And yes Donna same as a green twinspot

Misty, your just full of surprises. What else are you hiding over there?


Sally, I have found that my dybowski twinspots are also very timid. I have never seen them agressive at all so far in the aviary. I know thare twinspots do have a reputation for being agressive, but mine are very sweet and shy. They pretty much stay to the trees and come out mostly in the evening.

I'm sorry CandoAviary I don't know your name.

I do have three pairs in a flight together and so far all doing very well. As soon as the bird house is done they are going to get a huge flight all to themselves, with lots of privacy to make babies! We bought the insulation tonight for the bird house!!!

Thank you for your compliments!

Hi Donna!

It might be easier to ask me what I don't have in my aviary!

You will have to visit when the bird house is done and the birds are moved in there. I think I'm going to have a party! A bird party!

Sounds like Donna has found a kindred spirit in her neck of the woods
Wish you both were closer....I want to come to the bird house party Misty, my name is Candace
I am also making another bird house.... I will be paosting the progress under the HOUSING section. I wish you would also post pics of your building process there also.... we all learn from one another. I think you could offer a lot of advice based on your bird keeping experience.
