i live in sydney and i have 18 zebras, 1 society paired up with a nutmeg maninkin, 2 orange breasts (pair), 2 stars(pair), a gouldian, 11ish dimond doves and 10 quails :cry: one blind and 2 heavily peaked and 7 budgies (another avairy)
i am thinking of getting more including a mate for the sad female gouldian as well as getting rid of all those annoying doves
i also had an :idea: to get a pair of
st helena waxbills
fire finches
cutthroats
another nutmeg and another society so the babies don't turn out hybrid retards :(
any tips on geting rid of the doves and quails and any thing to do with the list i have would be great

Well, I was wondering about that. I kept looking at it and thinking ....that looks just like Mario and I have a swing just like that too. [-X

Liz, I know you recognized it since your the one who shrunk it for me. =D>

Welcome to the forum.

I was a little confused by the pic too. I guess I associate the avatar pic with the person without even checking the name.

Sounds like you have a nice collection. I don't know about outlets for bird sales in Sydney but maybe some of the Australia people on here can help you out.

Also, it helps to put your location in your profile so we can remember where you're from.

I'm not sure what you mean by tips for getting rid of the doves and quail, but I took it as you don't know where to give them??? If that is what you are asking you can always put an ad up on Craigslist.com under pets and I'm sure somebody will take them off your hands. You can also write an ad in your newspaper, kijiji.com, this site's marketplace, or you can give them to an animal shelter. There are a lot of options. I hope this is what you were asking :?: if not just clarify. :)

These are full pages of info on the birds you want:

Cutthroat finch: http://www.finchinfo.com/birds/finches/ ... _finch.php

St. Helena Waxbill: http://www.finchinfo.com/birds/finches/ ... axbill.php

Firefinch: http://www.finchroom.com/waxbills/ff.html

______


Are you planning to keep all these together in an aviary? If so the only birds that might be problematic are the cut-throats, fires and st. helenas are both passive birds.
Zebra, Orange cheeks, Owls, Gouldians, Blue-Capped Cordon Bleus, Goldbreasts, Black Face Fires, & Button Quail

yep but i had cut-throats b4 and they were fostering societies and they were really passive if trouble was around they were nowhere to be seen

For information on lots of different kinds of finches - check out the Finch Information Center linked on the left side of your screen.

Nice new avatar, Daniel - thanks for changing it! =D>
