Letting my Zebra Finches out in the morning

[@robertstaples3256]

I cant help chuckling every time I rewatch that door opening. Everything's quiet and then it opens and immediately everyone's like "beep beep it's time to go outside!" Its so adorable 😍

[@ARCHMAGOS-RATTLEBONES]

They sound like squeaky toys! Ill take 200 of them please.

[@Stephen-pd9jn]

They are squeaky toys lol wait till you hold them in your hand (gently not strongly)

[@Openarian]

I got 2 of em

[@lindagodfrey9994]

I can't help to say the sounds are adorable

[@lonelywolf3209]

Chirping sound of these beautiful birds and their energy made my day

[@Nautical_Parsnip]

They look like little toasted marshmallows.

Silence.....*door creeks open* PEEEE! PEEEE! PEEEE!

[@joan1902]

I love your selection of zebbies.

[@tecgarlick5048]

Yes fine still enjoying them only keep whites and pieds looking to get in to penguin s next year as well all the best.

[@adamstv4025]

How do you make them go back in?

[@LMPycroftJ4]

ADAM'S TV when it starts to go dark they go in themselves 😁

[@adamstv4025]

Lee Pycroft wow! That’s cool!

[@MistressGlowWorm]

Lee Pycroft I love when it gets dark because they would chatter quietly and tuck their little heads under their wings and sleep. I’d tuck them in with a small sheet.

[@ionapereira6801]

Pleeeeeease I would like to see how the little darlings go back in. U really are so very fortunate to have such a big aviary. My Finches too love d daylight n start their Tee Tee Tee. . . . I have three baby Finches about a month old. They r so cute. ...

[@Dorkychu3]

I was listening to this and my finch jumped on my head scaring the shit out of me

[@ellisensei]

"ehhhhh!" I love these birbs xD

[@dearlemonboy]

How to wake up your zebra finches in the morning : play this video.

[@torIIgo]

I seriously love this concept you made! How do you connect your outdoor aviary to your indoor? I am genuinely curious as I would like to accomplish something like this in the not too distant future.

[@LMPycroftJ4]

Yeah. Outdoor and indoor joined via the opening. They sleep/roost inside at night

[@-Tanooki-]

Thank you

Can you show me the full aviary setup pls..

[@LMPycroftJ4]

Sorry my current set up is in the middle of a re vamp so nothing to see other than pieces of wood,mesh and paint 😁 no birds in the outside or inside avaries at the moment.

[@ToniCarrington]

Chatty lol ill take 30 plz

[@Mage_97]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@ayyanaamelly8290]

Omg how many do you have?! I only have 2 😢😭🥺

[@LMPycroftJ4]

I have around 20 breeding pairs in the birdroom.

[@bullet-train]

Lee Pycroft So 40 bords in breeding pairs? That’s a lot.

[@Fromard]

So how do you get them back inside at night?

[@Wowls]

I love this video so much

[@geezersshack8369]

0:06 when I open a packet of gum in class

[@ionapereira6801]

how do they come back to their home in d evening. pls let me know. i too hav abt four finches.

[@darewolf6844]

Well they live there life in a sucured aviary so they dont actsholly go outside into the dangers of nature but if your talking about going into the place they came out of in the beganing of the video i might have a diffrent answer for you there. If these birds are enything like chickens you have them spend a few days in the indoor portion of there enclosure so they get a sence of where there home is then at night they know where to go and will go back in on there own.

[@Topeng14]

Nice🎉❤❤❤❤🌥️🕊️🇵🇭

[@binklebabe4725]

I have seven finches (3 offspring) normals and pieds. I have either a very light pied or fawn on eggs right now. All my cages are huge flight cages with well-matched pairs in each. I had to segregate a young pied male who was too sexually aggressive for now. I did this with the baby daddy of the new clutch and he calmed down after a week. Anyway, I feel bad leaving them in cages all day! I live a house in the deep woods of central PA, very cold in winter. I would live to build an aviary but I'm too old to do by myself and would have to heat it. Is it safe to let them fly around the room? My instincts say no. They are not hand-raised and would have to be re-collected at night with a net. I used to own large parrots and they stayed out on their playpens and perches all day, or on me!

[@LMPycroftJ4]

Binkle Babe I wouldn't let them fly about in a room... ideally a large aviary is best

Tec Garlick changed job and moved from earlies to working nights so taken a while to adjust etc. Getting things in place for next year where I hope to have a proper go at breeding and show my birds for the first time. How's things with your birds fella?

[@yonexsp8448]

Lee Pycroft how does one aquire a zebra finch and if one gets a zebra finch do they have the have other buddys?

[@SubscraibeP]

Omg a army of zebra finches of my dream

[@gemmapons6307]

How do u get them back insdide

[@LMPycroftJ4]

They go in when its starts to get dark or when their hungry 😁👍

[@mattdrilon]

Are those birds in a cage/aviary or are they outside your backyard in the open? Btw I like your birds

[@LMPycroftJ4]

Matt Drilon these are all outside in a huge avairy, they go inside at night into another avairy... I have my breeding stock in other flight cages in my birdroom

[@mattdrilon]

Lee Pycroft I wish I had a huge aviary because I only have probably 1/10 of yours

[@Azam_Pakistan]

Beautiful. Do you need to warm up only the nest box , instead of heating the whole aviary in winters?

[@LMPycroftJ4]

I don't have any heat on during the winters. They're used to the weather. Outdoor aviary is rather sheltered and if its gets too cold they just go in and roost on the top perches. Really cold and windy days the door remains closed.. as for nesting, only provide nests during the summer in the birdroom breeding cages. Once babies are old enough to leave parents, they're moved to some nursery flights to colour up before being put outside into the aviaries. Only do that during summer months..

[@Azam_Pakistan]

@@LMPycroftJ4 Thanks. Does that mean that your winter temperatures don't fall below 20 deg Celcius? Here temperature falls to 5 degrees. I plan to put a thermopore box as a winter hiding place so when it's cold they go in. But I wonder if the temperature in/out shock is hazardous in my case.

[@LMPycroftJ4]

@@Azam_Pakistan during our winters it can be minus 4 or 5 or more.. they cope no problem as long as they have been put outside in the summer months 👍

[@Azam_Pakistan]

@@LMPycroftJ4 The out in summer tip is really new for me. Thanks a lot. I'll try.

[@LMPycroftJ4]

@@Azam_Pakistan if the birds are put outside when the weather starts to improve (April) ie no frosts once winter starts to move in late October the birds have feathered up and have become acclimatised to the steady lowering in the temperatures. Obviously putting birds outside past September who have been housed indoors will result in them dying from the cold or at the very least becoming ill good luck 👍

[@darjohnston1334]

I'm afraid they fly away

[@BirdBath1]

dar johnston, look at bird bath

OMG great aviary!

[@BLeesPets]

That's awesome but how do you get them back in? Lol😀🐦🐦

[@LMPycroftJ4]

When it starts to get dark they go in on their own..Inside is where they roost at night and where their food is.

If your zebra finch gets out, is there a chance of it surviving?

[@LMPycroftJ4]

???? Of course. Only letting them out inside an avairy. Can't go anywhere other than back into the shed.

[@Psycrovv]

Sounds like small kazoo haahha

[@klaraoreb6869]

0:34 why does he have black spot on face usually male tend to have orangey spot

[@WaffleZo5]

Its a pretty uncommon type of finch. And if you find a finch that has a color of cinnamon And Its female then that one is pretty rare...not too rare.

[@WaffleZo5]

Edit: it is called black-eyed zebra finch...theres a Cinnamon Black-eyed zebra finch (female) And i think little that only some people have her with the malé black-eyed finch.

[@garythatcher4492]

Paint your wire black silly. Then you can see the birds.

[@LMPycroftJ4]

Gary Thatcher cheers fella , Had considered doing that but it gets messy and after a while the paint chips off and looks crap,then has to be redone. I have looked for coated mesh to no avail

[@garythatcher4492]

I have a 10x12x8 foot aviary and I paint it once a year and it looks terrific. no squinting to see through the galvanize. Only takes 10 minutes to paint anyway which would be worth doing weekly if it started looked poor. Just rolls on easily. Your birds are gorgeous by the way. Where are you from?

[@LMPycroftJ4]

Thank you Gary. May think about doing in the new year as I'm in the middle of kitting out a brand new bird room and once complete I'm transferring these birds into there for breeding. That gives the chance them.to overhaul the in and out side avaiaries. I'M in Manchester btw
