I find their cheerful chirping so uplifting - thanks for sharing this. I'm looking out for a reasonably priced webcam (?) to record my quail hatch and then as they grow up. I'm so pleased I came across this video :)
Up there with the very best! Very well planted and plenty of Nesting boxes. Now I know that I want to copy You and do so much better but it is winter in Australia and cold but soon it will be warm by Oct. so I hope. Very nicely done video, good job!
Hi Paul Not in a cage or small aviary, Javas are very dominate in an aviary and if you were hoping to breed your Zebras you might have a problem.Also don't house the much smaller Timor Zebra finch from the lesser Sunda islands as they are alot more timid. Even though the Normal ( pet shop type ) Zebras are all but bullet proof, the java is one of the biggest manikin species and has a very strong bill. Unpaired broody Java Hens can also become nest raiders,destroying eggs and killing chicks. Breeding pairs of Javas and juveniles are very inquisitive and will upset zebras trying to nest ,so watch them .! Also with Java sparrows only the domiate pair will breed in a aviary environment ,So best to cage breed them . I've bred both Zebras and Javas so if you need any info then just leave a message. Cheers Mark
I would agree that the plants would be dangerous for Hook bills ,but my Waxbills actually eat and he tips off the ivy and ferns..??? So maybe they can digest a little ,but I'm no expert on the plants ,just the birds.. Thanks for your comments ,every piece of information is always appreciated and respected.
you can keep a couple pairs in a mixed collection they will be dominate towards the smaller species like Waxbills and small finches.But I'd rather keep Green singing finches if if was my choice.
Nice aviary I wanted to ask what are some type of plants you have in the aviary I can put in mine in building it right now for my violet ears, parrot finches and ect?
Just finished watching all your videos, learned alot from them. Have you ever tried keeping canaries with your finches? would this be possible in a finch aviary? or would the canaries be too aggressive? thanks
Hamaad Raja Canaries will pick every leaf off your plants they are so destructive in a planted fight .lol lots of finches will do this too like java sparrows and weavers. I has bred them in my breeding room years ago ,but there not for me ! They must be the dirtiest bird you could ever have in a flight apart from an ostrich with the squrts. .lol
There is always the danger of mice in any aviary or bird room. You just need to be proactive and check your flights and buildings for mice or rats infestation.Mice leave a strong urine smell and droppings around the floor ,so in side you will notice this almost straight away. outside its harder but check the corners and nest boxes every week. I have traps under the sheds and poison too. In nearly 6 years I've had mice once and it took roughly about 3 months to eradicate them from the flight.
Hi i'm looking to start up again, after many years away from having Zebra's, then was only a small cage, i now wanting a outdoor aviary , how do i go about finding a breeder in my local area, which is Merseyside by the way , Thanks,in advance
nelly I'd ask a pet shop or check out the Cage and Aviary newspaper for local events/shows/ clubs and breeders, When you find one breeder then they open you up to a whole community of breeders in your area. Most breeders and keepers are very secretive about what they keep and breed ,so joining your local bird club will help a great deal.
Mark Thanks for the reply, does seem very secretive hobby haha, was lot easier years ago as my friends Dad had a lovely aviary , thats who got me started, was a child at the time, so later if life they took a back seat as hobbies do,

Hallo, what marvelous avary, Just great. Gr Maarten
Many thanks Fadel 😉

How are the Owl Finches in your aviary. I'm thinking of adding a pair.
Vary good

how many times did zebra finches breed in a year???

what plants are they please looks great
Hi, Not sure what all the plants ate called but their is a few bay bushes and a plant called Red Robin. A few ferns and Bamboo bushes too.
Hi good looking set you have I had the same but had to give them up because of mice any ideas to help with that.
put a cat in the cage jk . might have to lay solid concrete base then put aviary over it
Would there be any danger of mice burrowing their way in?
Lindo, biautiful
TRES BIEN
