It looks great! Will Lucky be living in that cage? I hope so!!!

I noticed your fountain. I have the same exact one. Did you get that on ebay?

Also, I noticed you use seed hoppers. Do all your birds know how to eat from them?

You bet Lucky will be living there. His future girlfriend will too once she gets out of quarantine.

Yes, I got that fountain on Ebay for $60. You actually gave me the idea to add a fountain with your fantastic aviary pictures.

Yes, everyone eats out of the seed hoppers. I started everyone on them during quarantine by first putting a small dish of seed in front of it and also placing a small bit of millet spray in it to entice them. I hope to train new birds with this method as well.

That will be a wonderful life for your finches!! Great set up.

Lucky is very lucky!! He has been from the start.

BTW his little red cheeks are all colored in now.

But he will have to be trained to eat from that seed hopper.

Yeah, I realize that. I've got a hanging cup with metal hooks I think I can install right in front of the hopper. Also, him seeing all the other birds using the hoppers should help.
