Hi Ronald

Thank for joining the forum.

Tell us a little more about your breeding operations.

Please feel free to post some photos of your birds and cages.

How many pair do you have?
Do you keep all your finches in a communal aviary or are they separated by by species?

Have you ever had any problems with rodents?

I tried my hand at finches about 15 years back but when I finally got mine to start breeding some mice killed them all. That really put a damper on my dreams. And as I was still a teenager at that stage I did not have the finances to restock my cage.

Well maybe I will try again must just first gather some more info and get some cages.

Hope to here from you soon.

Hi Ronald,I also breed Finches,Gouldians and Parrot Finches.I breed pairs in seperate cages in a temperature controlled enviroment but am not having much luck with the Parrot Finches.The Gouldians are breeding very well.Can you give me any tips/advice on breeding the Parrot Finches?Regards,Mike Howick,Kzn.
