After viewing your video, we installed a a wire mesh and grass nesting arrangment, and my zebra finches have taken to it like ducks to water, thanks for the great idea!
I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Kameron Gatlin I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
no the water is shallow and does not get very cold at all where i lived. after this video you might see my maggot breeding set up, my wife was stoked when i started them.
@TheFinchMan101 thanks for the comment, no i didnt build it but i designed it. just watched your yellow gouldians they are very nice birds, good luck with them, are they breeding?
yes the gouldians dont care too much what colour their partner is. and the colours that come out in the young vary. the finches make their own holes and nests, but a little help to start them off doesnt hurt, just put the grass in and make a hole with your fist. thanks for the comment.
how do you clean the aviary? im planning of also building one in the outdoors of my home but im not sure how i will clean the whole thing. and im also thinking of placing a stream so birds can shower and drink from there.
Really nice natural aviary:-) Do you buy the river sand or just go get it from any river and clean it? About how deep is it? How long does it last? Thanx !
hey mate awesome aviary, I'm trying build an aviary and been looking everywhere for ideas in terms of natural habitat setup etc. perfect example. do you get the various coloured gouldian finches breeding? offspring colour? and the idea of that hay stack like thing hanging for the birds to build a nest in is crazy. Do they just make their own holes and way into the hay stack? keep up the good work mate, cheers
Just wondering why you have your perches so high up and close to your clear sheeting. Doesn't it get hot in Summer? I know you're in NSW (I'm in Perth) but surely you have some hot summer days? Also wondering why you don't have more perches at the entrance end of your enclosure, or did I not just see them? Love the grasses and bracken in the wire for nesting :)
Wow! incredible set up! this is great! i really love the nests in the hay! so clever! where in queensland where you when you had this? i live in cairns. i am about to build an aviary using pvc pipping as the frame. i have seen a few and it is so much cheaper. again, i adore your aviary! keep it up!! :)
No zebs they just take over and stop the others from breeding. I had a lot of gouldians, and a pair each of ruddies, orange breasts, cordon blues, red face parrot finches, plums painteds star finches st helenas I think that's it. As for winter this was at the Gold Coast qld so very warm
@benrayjay well i don't think i've had them long enough to start breeding but im sure they will start soon. i have noticed some signs of singing and dancing so i guess thats a good sign.
Hey Ben, I know this video was awhile ago but I'm just staring out with my finch (obsession) hobby... This single flight aviary and side / back storage room is great for a beginner enthusiast! Where can a beginner buy one of these set ups please? Cheers!
Amazing aviary! I would love one exactly like it. Is there any way you could tell me the dimensions and the materials used? I'm thinking of building one like this. I'm sure this this will help a lot of people. :)
I now live in Dalby and have an aviary around the size of yours. I have budgies cockatiels and some coturnix quail. I would like to get some zebra finches or Goulding Great video by the way
