How to Breed blue face parrot finches and setting up the pairs.

[@Fitz.V]

I'm always amazed whenever I see you going into one of the flight cages wearing a clean, crisp white shirt!

[@birdnerd]

Yeah it’s never a good idea haha. Sometimes it ends badly.

[@RikkiBowman]

I know Avrie from school I like your channel

[@birdnerd]

[@ShaneDoyle-i4u]

Very beatiful birds, do you sell the babies.

[@birdnerd]

AWESOME!! 👍👍👍 Really miss my Rubino Bourke's. You sell any?

[@birdnerd]

Beautiful birds Chris... Cheers for sharing...

[@birdnerd]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Carterborchers]

Hi! I’ve hatched and cared for birds, and these babies are so beautiful! Do you ever sell any birds or fertile eggs?

[@birdnerd]

Yes i do sell my birds through out the year as they become available.

Hey I received my coffee cup today thanks for fast shipping

[@birdnerd]

I love it! I am looking at adding a button quail design like you had mentioned. Hope you enjoy the mug.

[@mikecrook8650]

Great video Chris. What size are those breeding cages you put your parrot finches in?

[@birdnerd]

Thank you! Off the top of my head about 2 feet wide, just under 4 feet long, and 2.5 feet tall.

[@steveshukla3512]

Beautiful Birds! Where can I buy those breeding cages?

[@birdnerd]

I have seen them occasionally on Amazon the buyer that I bought mine from several years ago does not make them anymore.

[@jack-hi3tb]

Is that Java rice finches I see? I've noticed over the years a lot of birds have gotten smaller. I remember when Java rice finches were really big birds. Maybe a little smaller than a parakeet. Cockatiels have gotten really then what they were 15 years ago.

[@birdnerd]

I currently don’t have any javas. I have had them in the past. Maybe you saw my diamond sparrows? Yes the sizes of birds have changed so much over the past several decades.

[@heshamgsjwjsj]

How much cost the pair of the birds. I liked the birds

[@birdnerd]

Blue face parrot finches range from about 250-350 per pair in the U.S.

[@charlescole3986]

What brand are those water dispensers and where did you buy them? I'm having a difficult time finding something similar to use in my aviary.

[@birdnerd]

I just bought them from my local nursery store. Not sure the brand since there is nothing labelled on them.

[@michaelkane3326]

Hey,I have a large cage,with Zebras,and Manchins.They laid a lot of dud eggs.2 babies hatched 3 weeks ago.This morning I heard baby squawking ,for food.Then I notice one of the baby’s dead in the bottom. Of the cage.What would cause babies this young to be killed?

[@thomasborg6341]

There probably arent enough nests and the zebras are killing the chicks to take over the nest. Dont worry about dud eggs, that usually happens for a couple weeks when the birds go to a new home. Had some zebs that laid dud eggs for a year because we kept upgrading the cage to be bigger and that caused them to lay duds

[@birdnerd]

Yes I would agree with the comment below. Add more nest if possible. Zebras can be nest robbers at times if they really want a specific nest.

[@shelleycharlesworth5177]

If you don't give a finch pair a nesting box will they still breed? Or is it only when they get a nest box they breed?

[@birdnerd]

If you have a male and female together most finches will try to nest with or without a nest box.

[@Carterborchers]

If you ever plan on selling any parrot finches please send me a message! They’re gorgeous!!! ❤

[@birdnerd]

Deal!
