Great fun show, cheers guys from this Aussie in China.

Sam Nass built seed machines and they work perfectly.

Solve math problems 😂😂😂😂

really good video, thanks guys

Lets goooooooooo alll bird braiiiinerrssss !!!! 🎉

Been waiting on this. How to not waste seed.

My orange canary loves to bathe, but lately he has been staying in his bath for hours. He is not bathing, just sitting there. Have your birds done this before? Do you know what this means?

Beautiful Video and Podcast ❤️ May I know which are the 6 months that you rest the birds pls…

lol great bathe he really liked it

Man I love your backyard, especially with that mountain view in the background. I could sit out there for hours.

How do i breed my canaries

Will gouldian's breed with owl finches?

Nice

Hey birdnerd, hope things are good, do you remove the eggs as they are laid or leave them with the hens, explain a bit. thank you

Cool stuff, Cheers from this Aussie in China, i really appreciate your vids!

Hi Bro, how many days, button quail chick have to be under heat-lamp? Edit: im in Singapore (considered a hot region😅)

Do you sell any of your birds?

Nice to see a guest great idea blue and yellow Gould 💙 in the late 70s and 80's would die if you just look at them to long today a different story they are breed for Quality, not quantity like The old days so that's the big difference now. My blue 💙 are great and my greens one's in a while to have to breed back to green to keep a strong blood line but the all colors are good to go now time has been good to Gould breeder. Just like other rare finches and the new blood line from Spain and Europe has helped us Tremendously today. Keep up the guest spot good Idea maybe one day I show up lol in breeding rare species.

How difficult is it for you to catch birds out in the aviary? Or do you try to get them inside the shed first to make it easier?

Super informative. Thank you! A special thanks to Alex for his contribution!! 🙏

nice podcast guys.

Information on SOLAMINOVIT www.allfarm.com.au/images/info-sheets/Info_sheet_-_Solaminovit_Liquid.pdf

Really enjoyed this podcast. Thanks for the wealth of information these podcasts provide.

Unreal show! Cheers from this Aussie in China!

My pair of red rumps bread last year I had one young one they ended up killing most my birds in the Avery then the male killed the female last year’s young one he has bread with that one now

Another enjoyable podcast guys... thanks for sharing...

Great job❤🎉😊

Awesomeness 🎉❤😊can’t wait for more!! LG my favorite, but i like them all!! Great show!!

Great episode. Loved the discussion. I started following Alex when you mentioned him in a previous podcast. Love the work he is doing. Makes me want to move somewhere warmer than Ohio to breed outdoors.

I breed Blue, and find they are weak, but have been more successful in keeping them alive when I soak my seed to create the sprouts, I include Solaminovit in the water I soak the seeds in.

Enjoyed the conversation, great to see a young breeder like Alex, talking about his experience with Finches. GOULDIANS ARE POPULAR IN AUSTRALIA Normal Gouldians sell for $AUD $50 a pair, and bred mostly in Aviaries

Great show!!!

Really surprised the birds I've got just now I've 2 pairs and a pair of fife's in an aviary setting, it's the fife's that are being aggressive. They calmed down a lot after I gave them a nesting pan. All young birds, young enough the zebras aren't breeding like mice yet lol got about 5 in one nest, the other they've not been successful yet

Thanks for the helpful info. New to g finches. My 1st pair laid first two eggs yesterday! 🎉

Too many birds in that aviary

Love the cooing in the background. Can't wait to get my pair of Diamond Doves from Jay. I recently got a pair of canaries and the female laid an egg in the food bowl. Also built and destroyed the nest. Male is singing as well. Might separate them for a little bit until they are ready again.

I think you're right, I could have been the winter molting lighting. I moved mine from their original location to another and haven't set up the automatic light control so I think they were thrown off. My males were ready by December but I didn't want to breed them so early. I wanted them to rest a couple of more months. My females also had their vents swollen but nothing. They would build their nest and sit on it but no eggs, and the others that did were not fertile. The ones that did hatch had black spot. It just wasn't a great season. I have only 6 chicks this year, and I'm grateful. As long as my birds are healthy that's all that matters in the end. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Chris, love the channel and the podcasts... I'm wondering if you can tell me how long I need to keep button quail under a light......? Their about 4 weeks now ...I have some new ones hatching today.And need brooder box for them. It's autumn here and nights are down to 12c

I want to buy some canaries

Mash size can also be important. I once visited a bird market and there was a big cage set up in which you were supposed to move the birds from the exibition cage to your transport box. Unfortunately the mash size was big enough for Orange-breasted waxbills to slip through, so when a friend wasn't quick enough to grab them all 3 managed to fly past his hand and were dashing around in the cage. He catched two on the mash but was too slow for the third who got out of the cage into the big factory hall. So I recommend to always have pantyhose whith you. Tie a knot in one leg and cut open the end of the other. That way you can put the big opening around the usual cage and slide your hand into the small opening to get the birds.

Will finches of different types breed? Or do they only breed with their own type?

Wonderful podcast! Great topic! Love you guys. Thank you for the info!

Thanks for the shout-out. One of the main reasons I went with the PVC instead of wood is because I'm a terrible carpenter! 😅 Still lots of improvements to be made to my indoor aviary, but we all have to start some where. Appreciate all the informative topics and can't wait to continue learning more and expanding into the hobby.

Guys you can breed any type of finches including waxbill size does matter when it comes to breeding I use fight cages 5x3x3 work great even by Crimson breed In them. As long will setup with some fake plants and lights your find, Diet it's key.

Mahalo Nui for the Shoutout! I love to set up my aviary very densely for my finches to give them a lot of space to forage. My lavender waxbills are constantly moving and foraging and having a very dense aviary helps keep them entertained. My other aviary is less planted so the Bourkes have a lot of space to fly around when they’re going their morning and evening zoomies.

COOL, Thank you both,, cheers from this Aussie in China, with Zebras, Gouldians and Cockatiels.

Great choice of a subject for Podcast … often the first bird people get is a gift, generally not from a breeder, and often the cage package is not suitable, not being the fault of the purchaser BUT the fault of the salesperson at the Pet Store/Shop.

Hi Chris Still enjoying ur podcasts and videos u post really helping me in my first year with finches I have 6 young shaft tail chicks just out nest last week doing ok I bred them in a cage I tried star finches but they didn’t feed chicks so I lost them but put next round eggs under zebras and they hav hatched out 2 chicks last week Keep up the good work ur doing sharing ur experience
