Finch Update 28-10-2014

  • Unfortunately one of the three new Painted Finches mentioned in the previous post has died – causes unknown.  The remaining two are doing well and the parents are apparently breeding again.
  • After a number of failed attempts to keep a pair of Star Finches I have admitted defeat and sent my remaining male Star Finch to a finch keeper who has success in keeping the species.  I think my aviaries may be too draughty?
  • Following a successful breeding season I have moved the Gouldian Finch parents into the holding aviary for some rest and relaxation (or as much rest and relaxation as you can have with a group of young Gouldians and a flock of Zebra Finches).
