Thanks for the encouragement!!! I have snuck in some cleaning this last week as chicks are independent and round 2 due to hatch next week. I feel like a fugitive with my scrubber 🤣🤣

Aloha from Hawaii🌺Congratulations on the new babies, the new species, new Gold Breasted Waxbill males and the reclaim birds! A lot has truly happened in the long time you’re out hahah. I love watching all your updates. I really play that one day we get quail finches here so I get to experience working with them.

Thank you! this video was more for my record keeping than anything helpful, but it does illustrate how rich an experience finch keeping is- highs and lows, twists and turns!

I love your videos, I watched when I have lunch. Still in love with the greenback twins spot. If you have a couple for sell, could you put me in your list. I been looking for them and I can't find them.❤❤😊

Orange cheeks are adorable! Do you keep Society Finches simply to feed/raise abandoned babies?

Congrats on the successful duo! Whew!

no, I don’t use societies as fosters, but many people do.

Have you seen the quail finches eat fruit flies?
@Echosaviary2 ай бұрын
I did not see them eating any. There are a lot concentrated in the compost bin and I never caught them in there foraging. however the flies go everywhere in the aviary so possibly they were getting them elsewhere. they did eat mini mealworms readily.

you have the aviary of my dreams! I adopted a bonded pair of fancy pigeons about 4 years ago and they are my indoor feathered babies, I never seperate them due to the stress that it may cause. Are Finches the same as far as being bonded to one mate? Also, what nesting materials do you give them, I'm asking because I still havent found a material that my pigeons "love".

thank you very much. Some finch species are the same but not all. In most species, the female does the choosing. They typically can adapt to another partner especially if they can not hear their original partner. I cut up burlap into about 7 inch lengths.

Do you shred up all of the burlap or do you leave it in 7 inch chunks

Hello, can you use pine shavings in a finch nest box? And what else would you recommend? Thanks
@Echosaviary8 күн бұрын
hmmm I have never heard of it used before and have no experience with it. You might try asking one of the online bird groups. It would not be a natural choice for the types of finches I keep, even the cavity nesters

Hi, can't you get foster parents they normally work.
@Echosaviary2 ай бұрын
I don’t think chicks would beg from foster parents after fledging. It is very hard to hand feed at that age too. I could remove the eggs or very young chicks to foster, but then I don’t learn anything about how to take care of parents properly so they will take care of chicks. It is a tradeoff.
