Advice anyone

[Barbara]

I have my flight cage all set up and would like to add a few more finches.what I have is a two male society that love there nest,I would like to add a pair ( males) of gouldian's or another passive finch I live in MA not much for variety around I also am thinking of one male canary,my question is should I take on the nest even though they will be all males
I have a cage that most I think are familiar with it is 37X27 hopefully picture will come through.If not breeding is it safe to say cage is big enough.Thank-you for any advice might of sent picture twice still learning

Sorry about that picture didn'the go through saying too big but should be same size of other pic.I posted anyway cage is from amazon F030 Flight cage

Lovezebs and I both have that cage (F030, and love it!). You can certainly keep more birds in that cage, especially with an all-male setup. I currently have three pairs of waxbills in one of those cages, though breeding is not working out too well, a little too much competition. In your case though, with no breeding, it should be just fine.

I don't know why people have trouble posting photos, getting a message that they are too big. Are you trying one of these three methods?

I did use that and I was able to post a previous question about a cast iron bird bath and that one was fine I take all my pic on my tablet and store in Dropbox so not sure why it said that one was too big think I'll try again

Try cropping the pictures, sometimes that helps.

By the way, thumbs up for the F030's, absolutely love those flights. I'm on the lookout for a third one at the moment.

My first birds were 2 males. Blue my RCCB & a red fire finch also a male who adored each other. 2 cordon blue males will be friends with no females. If you chose them I hope you get one as sweet as my Blue. He is not fearful or flighty. He sings to me when I tweet tweet to him. Adorable.
If finding birds is as hard for you as it is for me The Finch Farm is a huge supplier that does ship. I have heard that Lady Gouldian's do not survive the trip. I did order a crested socie and a cordon blue hen from them. I was a nervous wreck about it. It is illegal to mail birds. But the were in a large chicken box with a perch, millet, water, cucumber and they were in very good condition. My post office called me when they arrived to pick up. It was $50 for shipping. Airlines are an option too. I think the noise of an airplane is scary. Actually for as fast as my birds got here I figured it was by plane. Two day trip. When I get my aviary built may take a couple of road trips. Texas is not too far for me. Florida is farther but there are some birds there I want. I like to drive anyway. Your cage is just great!

I try to get only passive birds so there won't be any issues, but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way. Right now, I have some gouldians, blue capped cordon bleus, and red throated parrot finches in the a large flight, and they seem to be getting along fine. I know if I added societies that would be fine because they get along with everyone.

Thanks for the info. I am not sure what I will get for finches because I want just males,would love Blues or owls but who know what will cross my path ( : I Fell in love with a little canary yesterday but looked real young and a little puffed up ,not any experience with canaries other then the males are usually the ones that sing so not sure if I bought if it was sick I would know what to do.Ping & Pong are so healthy and have never had a problem with them.I have a cage that they were in about 24X19 that I would put whatever I do get in(quarantine) Anyway my two little guys are so much more relaxed in there new home they sit and just watch whatever I do to there cage and can'take wait to see what there getting.I love those two little guys thanks again Karen and Stacie
