Mahalo Nui for having me in your podcast! More power to your channel!
We loved having you on! You’ve sparked some really good conversations.
Wow, never in a million years would I think of using brine shrimp and mosquito larvae to feed waxbills! I’ll give it a try!
Same here. It seems to work with his harder to breed waxbills so we are going to try it out.
Insightful contributions, Aladdin!
I can tell you care about the subject matter~😊
Aloha🌺
Mahalo Nui for your kind words🤙🏽
Yes I agree! The beauty of his aviaries and his birds shows how much he cares.
Thanks for sharing your bird knowledge Aladdin! Awesome and full of information. Looking forward to seeing you in more videos. 😊
Yes we will definitely have him on again tot all more about his successes with waxbills and soft bills.
Incredible episode. Love the addition of the footage from Aladdin's aviary. Learned a lot.
Aloha🌺
Mahalo Nui for your kind comment 🤙🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video. My kuddos to Aladdin for all the hard work. I've also use shrimp for live feeding. Growing shrimp is easy.
So cool! I have ordered my shrimp and hope to try it out.
Aladdin, You are the only person I know who would responsibly grow those mosquitos larvae! Love it!
Mahalo Nui🌺🩷

Aloha🤙🏽
Awesome, thank you!
Ohh i saw on somebody’s shirt it said “BIRD NIRD” 😅
Haha that’s awesome!
You can buy frozen brine shrimp, they come in cubes and just thaw them as you need them.
Aloha🌺
Thank you for your suggestion! Yes that is true, but live ones can be served for over 24 hours without spoiling. And the a lot of waxbill do like it when their insects aren’t moving when they’re already moist.
Serving then live is also a trigger to breeding. Hoping that someone will do freeze dried or frozen ones and share their experience in the comments 😊
I have never done frozen shrimp. I have raised fire finches off of freeze dried blood worms successfully.
Mabuhay from the Philippines🇵🇭
Very good video you guys
Mabuhay!

Enjoyed this video! ❤
Aloha🌺 and Mahalo for your comment!
Glad you enjoyed it!
To add to the live food aspect of this video, the water dwelling bugs I use them because it’s the softest insect protein I can give my baby birds. Mealworms and even mini mealworms may have a tougher exoskeleton. Termites and wingless fruit flies are hard to come by for most of us but those are the best insect protein to provide breeding waxbills.
Great tip!
I have Chestnut Munias at home, so when I visited Kauai earlier this year I thought that someone must have opened my aviary and let all my birds loose. I might be the only one in my country having them, but man in Kauai they are one of the most common birds. You cannot cross a field without stumbling over them.
How's the law in Hawaii? You have so many invasive birds species, could you actually catch them or are they protected as if they were native?
Would be also interesting to know for other states as well.
Actually I don't even know if they are over here, but except for a few aviary escapees it doesn't really matter. They cannot survive our cold winters and to keep native species you need to get a permit/licence after passing a specific test.
Hawaii has a very strict law when it comes to importation of live animals. And sometimes, some animals that are legal to bring to Hawaii, must come from an approved state/country. Any listed as injurious species are subject to surrender and euthanasia or if captured, it’s against the law to re-release it back to the wild.
I only keep what is listed in the conditional species list and comply with any changes they have.
@@OhanaFeathers Ok, so if I understand you correctly, you could basically catch every invasive bird species and if they are listed as injurious you would need to surrender the caught birds to some goverment agency. But if they are not on that list like your Chestnut Munias you could keep and breed them as long as you don't release them again.
Guess I should move to Kauai then. 🤭
Yes at least for the United States any bird that is considered an invasive species you can catch from the wild without a special permit and are not supposed to release back into the wild.
What a wonderful podcast as always... that intro is really... yeah... hahaha... why don't you introduce yourselves and then one says 'we are' and the other says 'the bird brains' then swap it around... you both hold your breaths trying to stay in sync.... Just a thought... love your topics regardless....
Haha yeah it’s goofy but that’s also the intention behind it as well.
love the video this week. I give ant eggs to my waxbils, they love them, and they have a lot of protein. and for me it's an easy thing to get
I love that. Do you collect them or do you purchase them? If so where do you purchase them?
@@birdnerd i collect them. But you can buy a ant farm
