Thanks again for all the great tips! What often works for me with 'difficult species' is to let the birds choose their own partner. So I put several individuals of the same species together and observe which ones form a pair (I keep them apart by giving each bird a different color ring). I then put these pairs separately in their own cage or aviary. The birds must be unrelated of course to prevent inbreeding.
Thank you Alex, the only thing that you can do is sepparate the one thats plucking others. Ive had that happen here in the past and the only solution has been to remove the one causing the plucking
So far never had that problem because i take precautions to avoid this. I made a video on that subject you can checknout ruclips.net/video/Kowby4-bVY0/видео.html
Have you ever bred Orange-cheeked waxbills? I've kept them before, But this year I got back into them and have several pairs. I'd like to breed them this season but it seems most of the "guides" on google and such are a bit older, And I also know that google is full of misinformation. Do they really have to be limited to one pair per aviary for breeding or can they be bred in a flock setting with enough cover and nest choices? Do they also truly abandon nest so easily? (I originally only wanted one pair as the site I ordered from was having a "free pair of waxbills" deal but I messed up and ended up with six. Then I ordered a society finch later on and got a surprise pair with him so I now have 4 pairs. I probably will be selling one or two pairs off once I know who's who)
This is a very tricky subject because the forbes can hybridize with the gouldians. If done correctly yes they can be keept together but keep inmind theres always a small risk of hybridyzing between the two species. I made a video on this subject hope this helps ruclips.net/video/Kowby4-bVY0/видео.html
Hi Ah Birds the best way to achive size in any bird is through selective breeding. I will makr a video talking about this topic. Thank you for the idea it will make a very interesting video
I had two male gouldians together with no problem. Once I got a hen one male beat up the other til I separated them. That may not be normal for other gouldians or breeds.
if you are located in the US where do you buy your birds at? I live in MO and I can not find these birds locally. there are places on line but they are asking for arm and leg. 500 for a pair of parrotfinches(green with red face)... your input is appreciated.
I buy from a variety of different venders in south florida. Currently im building a website were I will post species I have available for sale. The website is paradiseaviaryexotics.com You can also follow me on facebook facebook.com/ParadiseaviaryXotics/ I post species I have for sale here and I ship all over the U.S
Hi Steven depends on the species. Small finches no problem, larger species of birds mainly hookbills then yes because they will chew and eat the plastic plants and can die
Hello my friend yes i sell some of the chicks at the end of my breeding season but only here in the U.S. Its very difficult to export to other countries you need correct paperwork, quarentine facilities and so on
Hello, I am wondering if you might have a female diamond firetail finch you might be willing to part with, I'm looking for a female about breeding age, Last Feb I was at a bird show in Hickory, NC I purchased a male that is about 3 years old and I fell in love with him at first glance, He wants a mate and I have looked every where that I know to look for a female with no luck, he is one of my most favorite birds that I have, He just needs a girlfriend, if you don't have any for sale you might know someone that does, Thanks, I'll be waiting for your reply. I watch your videos on youtube alot,
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 I promise I pause & swallow when i talk.... man its not easy after 1yr of doing this i still get nervous when speaking on camara and i start to rant and blab away. As far as focusing the camara on the birds thats easier said then done. These little guys are fast and placing the camara in the right angle or right focus to see them is hit ot miss. Glad your enjoying the videos!
another superlative video full of excellent information .. highly appreciated brother .. keep up the good work .. regards.
thank you my friend

Thank you. Thats the same exact method i use for species that are monomorphic like the lavanders, black rump waxbills and few others. Works great !

Thank you Alex, the only thing that you can do is sepparate the one thats plucking others. Ive had that happen here in the past and the only solution has been to remove the one causing the plucking

Which is easy to breeding waxbills? Individual cages?/avairy??
What is a society finch

Beautiful Forbes Finches! Can they be housed with gouldians?
This is a very tricky subject because the forbes can hybridize with the gouldians. If done correctly yes they can be keept together but keep inmind theres always a small risk of hybridyzing between the two species. I made a video on this subject hope this helps

Can you keep two male finches together if you don't want to raise birds just keeping for pets??
I had two male gouldians together with no problem. Once I got a hen one male beat up the other til I separated them. That may not be normal for other gouldians or breeds.

@@paradiseaviary Thank you. I will check it out.
I heard somewhere putting artificial plants in aviary/cages can be dangerous for the birds is that true?
Hi Steven depends on the species. Small finches no problem, larger species of birds mainly hookbills then yes because they will chew and eat the plastic plants and can die
@@paradiseaviary ah alright thanks for the answer! :)
Are the finches for sale, sir? if sold can be sent to Indonesia??
Hello my friend yes i sell some of the chicks at the end of my breeding season but only here in the U.S. Its very difficult to export to other countries you need correct paperwork, quarentine facilities and so on
