Any ideas???

Post by David » Sat Jan 10, 2015 6:13 am

Hi everyone, I finally got back to forum after a little whole. I am glad I can post here again!
I just want to know if anyone know what kind of plants I can put inside an aviary? I already have 20 zebra finches in the big aviary, but some of them seems still fighting or hissing each I other. I also have some artificial plant inside (not the pot one but only the ones with stem and leaf) but useless which they are still not get along with other :( if I put real plant with pot in, what kind of plants safe for the zebra finches? I wish can get something with more perches which looks more natural inside and they also can hide from other finches to avoid anymore fighting going on. Please help me any advices would be great! Thanks in advance!

I like the red hanging Amaranthus. The leaves and seeds are edible for humans and birds. Zebras especially love it. I either plant it inside the aviary or plant it into pots that I swap-out to give the plant time to recover.

Marius,

Thanks for your great pic and posted, I would love to try this play, but I don't know if I can get some in my local area, if not I need to find the seeds online or even plant. Is the pot with fertilizer safe for birds too if put if inside the aviary? Again I really like the plant above look so stylish and gorgeous in the aviary too! :)
