Zebra finches, the tiniest bird you've ever seen!! My birds gave birth to hundreds of babies 

I am 74. I have had zebra finches over the years. They are delightful, active and their sounds are beautiful.

You have three variety there. The common orange cheek. The black cheek and the beige . It’s advisable never mix them all together. Don’t destroy the nice colour you have. Male have check with bird orange and female has lighter cheek and no cheek patch. Young Zebra finch are born with black beak and later in life colour start to appear on the beak. Breeding are quiet simple and provide grass or coconut material. They are happily to breed. Word of advise don’t give to much nest material. Many of them will practice nest layer building. ( building a nest on top of another). Best is after each chick left the nest. The nest box is clear out and clean. Left empty so that female can build new nest. In that way you can minimize mite and other disease. They also require some cuttlefish bone and mineral sand as calcium as that made female to have strong egg shelf. Some board band vitamin in water once a month. Bird Pearch don’t be too big as it will develop feet problem. Black check should be breed on the own. Genetic throw back will happen. Try to source a pied variety. Yet Very so often you will get a full white zebra finch without any marking with a red dark beak. The baby can be hand feed and train to become very tame. Occasionally fly off and return to you on your hand. That is a achievement. All the best and hope more video of your zebra finch.

Let me tell you about them, change there water daily, change there food about every few days. Finches are so cute i have some myself. They learn there songs from the dad bird. The stripes on there chest (zebra finch) thats why they call them zebra finches. Fun fact, the finch is one is one of the smallest birds in the world with most being native to the southern Hemisphere. Did you no that a flock of finches is called a charm?

I have found one living at my apartment complex. It can straight to a feeder when I put food in it.

Congrats po for acquiring the dazzling breeders of Zebra Finches, Sir Dex truly an amazing addition to the DW Farm! We are so excited for this new project po. 🤗

I'd say go for colony breeding with the option for selecting a pair now and then, if you want to develop special caracteristics. You still can reintroduce the pair back to their peers, later. Dexter, are you from Sri Lanka? Cause every word you say sends me back to that beautiful place. Keep on going and may your dreams become reality!

I love these birds , Dexter my friend I can feel the love and the joy they bring is amazing I have a few birds my self and i can definitly relate

Beautiful Finches.

Beautiful

I'm from Indonesia. I also studied local sparrow farming. I feel happy when the birds are raised ❤😊

They can be messy birds lol. They prefer an open birdbath as opposed to enclosed one. Cages with a slide out bottom with news or wax paper on it can make cleaning a little easier. Coconut fider or dry grass best for nesting material Calcium source is important for breeding. I used cuddle fish bone. You can use a regular enclosed basket for them to nest in. I use to make covers for milk cartons and mounted them to the outside of the cage with a lid. You can monitor the chicks a lot easier this way. But it's always best not to disturb them as much as possible. I would just cut 2 L or 1 L milked cartons in half and use the bottom half as a nesting box.

I would personally follow the advice of the person you brought them from. Leg bands mean the breeders have thought carefully about the genetic blueprint and you won’t be in breeding. Maybe you could try some community breeding a bit later. Sometimes it about quality not quantity to start with, they are beautiful happy birds 😊

Wow it's a beautiful Birds ❤

Finches are awesome hardy birds. They’re like watching fish swim around-very soothing. Ok raised many varieties in the past. You’ll love them! I did! Get some Society Finches cause they’re good parents & surragant parents & will rear other eggs or babies that aren’t cared for. Enjoy! They’ll reproduce fast- trust me! Good luck! You’ll do great!

Imagine breeding all your goldfish varieties together at once, within 2 generations almost all of the fancy genetics will be gone.Seperate these into matched pairs and get some wild types for your colony.much love from England.

So cute love your birds 🐦 💖 💕 💗 😊

7:07 the last zebra on the right that is almost all orange is extremely rare variation. In fact I see a few rare variations in your community. Makes me jealous lol.

❤❤❤❤❤

Sir i always watch your videos Where's your place

Hi brother i had 50 pair from my experience separate breeding will be the best because when colony breeding sometimes the pair will be changed and if chicks feel out from the nest we don't know from which parents chick For Nesting material green type of grasses and pine leaves paper Tissue will help them to make there nest finches loves to get bath every time

Good morning po

❤❤

Chickens mo naman next sir

Hello Dominicana Repúblic🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

Every morning when I took the sheet off my zebras cage. They'd all cry out together at once. One of the best parts of waking for me back in the day.

Hi, I am in India..... How to handle quail farming in summer season.....

Have you ever considered raising the ' The European Gold Finch ' Dexter ? The're very beautiful . . Cheers

💯👌👌👌

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉

Anyone grabs a GoPro thinks they are Fredrico Fellini. Stay natural

sir paano magbreed ng zebra finches meron kasi akong 1 pair nagbuild pa lang ng nest eh paano ba magcondition sila magbreed po?

Wow it's beautiful..zebra finch..i guest better to put on colony cage..than single cage

If the female is stressed to get off the egg you’ll lose eggs but if u give them small boxes and nest I think it will work

I want one about the way you surround the garden with bamboo

אהבתי מאוד את הסירטון תיתחדש על פינקים זברה❤

Finches are very territorial. Not sure if a really big cage will combat prevent problems, but in smaller ones, couples will chase off/harass any other finches nearby.

Hello, just wondering how many hectare is your farm?

U have some good and rare quality birds for example, you have black breasted zebra finch, black cheek, zebra finch and black zebra finch u should keep those ones in separate cages

I believe all birds should be free to fly and never be bound by a cage for the pleasure of the human eye when they bring so much more pleasure eye when they are free to fly 😥

delicious hunter 06

Was I the one who suggested this??

Free them from the cages!

Clever advocat 57

Give carrot beetroot in small pieces add cuttle bone these are best enough calcium

Can you make a natural colony for this java? Like tree, waterfalls, so they will create their own nest, i have finches too, they love to take a bath everyday 2 times

These Zebra Finches are Native to Australia, including Budgies and Cockatiels.

how about gouldia finch and canary they are more expensive and much sort off you can put them with zebra finch

Mabenta po ito, may 3 pair na ko malapit na mag itlog din ang isang pair, vitamins nila selectrogen once a week lang ako,

Do beautiful zebra

Hindi rin sila maingay, mahilig silang gumawa ng nest pag time na nila mag partner,

Please do not put them into a colony. I have tried colony breeding and the productivity was very very less. U will get 10 times higher yield if u do individual breeding. Best nesting material is coconut fiber. U can use pots for breeding.

Dexter you should always transport birds in a darkened box

colony finches breeding is best ....but separate mutations for good results ...put colony for normal zebra finches

Sir payo naman lagi binabasag ng finches ko ung mga egg nila anu dapat ko gawin

you can copy the design of youre colony breeding the bigger the better they can fly freely and you can also put other beautiful finches like gouldian canary society and owl finches these beautiful finch will make youre colony more productive and you can feed them like canary seed millet and worm and egg food

#1 - What’s the bike at 0:47 #2 - Need advise from any experienced regarding controlling the breeding of finches. Is it ok to make two separate cages. Putting all the male birds in one cage and the females in another. And for breeding keeping a separate cage, where we can add selected pairs for breeding. Or else to keep the colony as it is and avoid providing nesting box and materials so they will stop over breeding. Bcz they start the next clutch before the chicks are matured and avoiding the chicks from feeding. Sometime chicks are forced out from the nest before their usual nestout maturity.

If u want to put them in colony … put black cheek, black breast, black face together…then put orange breast and fawns.

Where did f8nd that birds?...

putting the pairs in separate cages will require much more time and effort in terms of feeding/maintenance when compared to just putting all the birds into one community cage.

The thumbnail is so fake oml

How to start lods

1st

These are best birds for breeding,their biggest issues are stealing nettting materials from each others

why is it that almost all of your titles are exaggerated?

They are not has so sweet as they look . Cold wind should not hit them. Temperatures above 27 degree. Too much work in individual cage but for commercial purposes only individual cage is advisable. They will through the chick's out side 😅🙉

Dexter please don't put in a small cage Make a aviary for them or ells they will get sick
