Wow what a coincidence I just bought a pair of these at a bird show last month without knowing what they are I just thought they looked cool but they have been extremely peaceful in my aviary.
Very cool and a beautiful species for sure. I wonder if there are other potential host birds that they would/could use. Maybe some australian species that has a nest that resembles the nest of their usual host? Just a thought :)
Very nice birds. I haven't seen these a lot since import of tropical wild birds was banned in Europe in 2004. It would be very exciting en interesting if you could get breeding succes with them. I'm looking forward to a video of that (u 2 I guess 😉)
Thank you my friend and don't worry I don't get jealous i know people come here to see the birds not me 🤣🤣 . I'm exited to see if they adapt well to the aviary and lay in the fire finch nest. Keeping my fingers crossed! I was aware that Europe had an import ban but didn't realize it was since 2004 😮. With Africa so close I would assume some wild caught still make their way in correct ? We still get imports of different wild caught from africa although the species list always gets smaller and smaller, I'm sure there will come a time when all that stops and there won't be any more ☹
@@paradiseaviary The ban officially came into effect in 2007, but imports from outside Europe had already been stopped earlier to prevent the spread of bird flu. But the import was of course not good for the birds, 2 out of 10 captured birds did not survive the trade. Prices have risen for many species as a result and there are now species that are much harder to find. But that's actually not so bad, bird keepers are much more careful with their birds and are now making serious efforts to breed and conserve species for aviculture. Moreover, people now think twice before purchasing a particular bird species. So we have to make do with captive-bred birds, but every now and then wild-caught birds from Afrika do end up on the market, but the question is whether that is completely legal. So keep up the good work and preserve the rarer bird species for aviculture so that others can enjoy these beautiful species too!
Its a shame but very true so many of the imported birds die along the way. Many forget the ones that die in the country of origin while undergoing quarantine and being medicated then again in route to the destination some die and then again when they arrive at the origin facility other pass so i believe its more than 2 out of 10. Unfortunetly here many don't take some of these species seriously and i believe its due to how easy they are to obtain because of these imports. Hopefully people start to take them seriously and work more with them before its too late. Like they say you don't know what you have till its gone !
Hola están muy lindos Tengo una pregunta e tenido dos caso de mis enbritas que seles salió la matriz es alguana enfermedad o por que dejo siempre sus nidos todo el tiempo agradecería su alluda gracias
Hola Noel no entiendo lo que quiere decir con que "se le salio la matriz" lo unico que puedo pensar que se refiere es a un ¿prolapse de la cloaca ?! Donde la cloaca se le sale asia afuera cuando ponen su huevito. Es esto lo que quiere decir ?
I have golden fish. But 2 females have lost the tail .and they tray to fly to the perch but they fall back to the cage floor .maybe are to fact. Please let me know if u know what the problem and what can't l give the to bring so they could lose some wait they eat a lot. Thank u N.Y. l like all u.bird video.
Thank you @723darwin, i want to put some whydahs in here also some weavers and other species. The white eyes still haven't done anything but they've only been in the aviary for about 2 months. Let's see what they do this season
Hola Juan sinceramente ya yo solo planeaba hacer los videos en ingles ya que paso mucho trabajo explicandolos en español pero veo que hay muchos seguidores pidiendolo haci que pronto denuevo enpesare a subirlos traducidos
@@paradiseaviary I think you should build another aviary dedicated to the weavers abd whydahs, it could also be used as an instructional video on how to build and land scape a secure aviary. :)
Ohhh i wish I had enough land to build another open outdoor aviary like this one lol im kinda limited. but I am in the process of building a new bird room outside video coming soon !
This video is very helpful I am adding on to my mixed aviary with all different finch species and love watching your videos they are very helpful
Thank you Mr. Finch

They are extremely cool birds and will add some contrast to your aviary your going to love them
A daring experiment :)) we are waiting for long term outcomes
Very good ❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I also have parasites on Estrilda troglodytes
Cool thanks

You need pintail whydahs
Yes I do !!! I need one pair of every kind lol also want to get some weavers in here. There are so many species

@@paradiseaviary hopefully just for whydahs, waxbills, and weavers.
Those pintail whydahs can be very bold and tame.
