Hi Paul I just read your articles about finches diet and so enlighted, just purchased a society finches recently and they go into breeding mode immediately. I'm not a breeder and have no intention to sell the offsprings so your extensive information is really helping me. I was just about to buy ryegrass & orchard grass seed but read about their toxicity,wonfering if barnyard grass seed is good for substitute?
@PlanetAviary5 күн бұрын
@lilsangarden we call orchid grass cocksfoot in the UK. If its the same as where you are then it is fine to feed to birds. We feed ryegrass also, it is not a problem. Barnyard I don't know...we don't get that here, sorry

I prefer the black heads! They look so striking in contrast to the rest of their colouring, especially against the blue! I have a BH PB BB and he is gorgeous! Now I have had gouldians off and on for twenty years! It is a love hate relationship! My best birds were Yellow backs, best parents, no tossing and the most beautiful double yellow males you have ever seen! Again they drive me crazy with their tossing and squabbling. In my 45 years of breeding canaries and finches, I have to say they are the most challenging!

Great little video mate. Nice little challenge there. I have always found the OH/YH to be the toughest colour across the board.
@PlanetAviary7 ай бұрын
Interesting to hear. Thanks for sharing. It's hard to know how much comes down to each individual bird instead of colour, regardless I found the YH to be better in some areas but not enough to win😊

Great video, the grasses you pick, have they got past shedding pollen stage? Do you give chickweed in season also? I have plenty of both!
@PlanetAviary7 ай бұрын
Hi and thank you :) I usually pick grass before the pollen shedding stage. Chickweed is a great supplement to use, yes!!

Are the artificial tree leaves made from plastic or silk? If it's the latter have you ever had problems with them shredding and birds getting caught in them?
@PlanetAviary8 ай бұрын
Hi Phil. These ones are plastic, but they do look very good quality ones. I know the silk ones your talking about. My Lavnders will rip those up in no time. I try to avoid the silk for the important point you make about them!

@PlanetAviary8 ай бұрын
White Mosquito Larvae or Glass worm as it is also know is what you need. Your local Tropical fish shop should sell it, or be able to order it in for you. A quick google search will also find online shops selling it. Such as this one aquamania.co.uk/live-glassworms--white-mosquito-larvae---live-fish-food-1686-p.asp#:~:text=The%20White%20Mosquito%20Larvae%20or,midge%20larvae%20found%20across%20Europe.
