Help Needed... An Aggressive Owl Finch
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2018 10:13 am
Hi all!
I have a mixed aviary. 1 Cut Throat, 1 Gouldian, 2 Societies, 2 Silverbills and 2 Owls.
They have been getting along well until last night, when the female owl flies at and attacks the male society.
We have recently taken away a water feature that the owl had made her nest. We don't know whether it was the owl, the silverbills or one of the single species that keeps eating the eggs. The poor societies have not been close to the nest. So I don't know why she has taken such a dislike to the male society. It looks to me like she's stopping him eating and drinking!!
Is the female owl acting like this because we have taken the nest out? I am loath to take her out of the aviary!
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Christine
