What is that light you are using???

[@karmasbestfriend1447]

My zebra finch Gizmo just had eggs! He pushed out nearly all of them but one. Candled it, and it’s around day 13 or so I would guess! Thank you for posting this video!! It really helped me a lot in identifying the different stages of egg growth!

[@MrAviary]

Thank you hopefully you will have some chicks soon

[@colesbackyardcoop]

Hello. Good video. Congrats on all the eggs. It's hard to resist looking in the nest boxes and you like to show everyone on video but I would caution you to not handle the aviary Gouldians nest boxes too much. They will abandon the eggs or throw chicks from the nest when they hatch if they smell the human scent. I never use to look in the nest until I could hear the chicks and they were at least a week old. I had huge success with this method. Since your society hen is not a good layer, I would use your society finches to foster other finch eggs. They will incubate any eggs you put in there and raise the babies. We are building a house and I hope to raise finches again myself. I specialized in exotic finches for 15 years. I sold alot of babies. I hope you find this advice helpful. I only want much success for you! Take care!

[@MrAviary]

Thank you, yes it always a struggle to leave them alone and take you guys along. So I indeed wait or be as quick as possible. Maybe I will try fostering, also looking for a new pair. Hope you will get an aviary again. You really love the Birds.

[@colesbackyardcoop]

@@MrAviary oh yes, I have love birds since I was a child. Alway use the societies to foster and you will have success. Put one egg a day into the nest just as if she laid them until you have a full clutch under her. I put a sticky note paper with the date on the outside of the box. Good luck! Yes, have willpower and don't look...ha ha. Listen for the chicks in the aviary. You will hear them begging for food. Don't look until a week after hatching. You can do it....ha ha ha!

[@st1lysh35]

I know this is a late comment but my zebra finch laid 2 eggs a week ago and they didn't bother to incubate them at all, was it infertile or why did they let them die?

[@MrAviary]

This can have many reasons, like stress or just not in the right condition or Too young. It's always difficult to say

[@st1lysh35]

@@MrAviary I candeled them but they're are infertile, why can birds make infertile eggs? also is there something I can do to prevent that?

[@JaCKaLx9oNe6x]

​@@st1lysh35 maybe remove the nest for a while, make sure you female get more calcium through cuttlebone or something similar... Then try it again!

[@Theoffcialchloe]

Hey I’m back I’m in trouble I’m concerned for the mama birds heath she raised 2 of the last clutch last month and a Hafe ago 1 I need to know if you know where to sell them cause I can’t keep them my parents said no for 2 I am worried for the mom cause she just LAYED another month and Ik if clutches are to close it can shorten her lifespan and where she goes to the bathroom at is dirty and has like no feathers there and she is a weak flyer right now and I’m scared I checked If she was egg bound and she wasnt

[@MrAviary]

Maybe try selling them on Facebook or maybe your local pet shop. If you cant house the chicks correctly just try to not breed them. You can just not provide a nest box. She will probably stop laying eggs so she can rest for now.

[@Theoffcialchloe]

Ok so my first batch of eggs were infertile and late death and They LAYED again about 2-3 weeks later and I’m going to check on day 5 to see if they are alive I checked just now and they could be a early death

[@MrAviary]

Hope you will have some more succes in the future

Thank you

[@P_ETTAX]

What does unfertilized and fertilized egg mean?

[@MrAviary]

Unfertilized eggs are never fertilized by the male and therefore it will never grow a chick inside.

[@emmastark7805]

Deze video’s zijn zó ontzettend behulpzaam! Mijn Agapornis koppeltje heeft net voor het eerst een nestje met bevruchtte eitjes! Ik ben heel erg benieuwd hoe het zal gaan😊

[@MrAviary]

Succes, hopelijk brengen ze wat jongen groot.

[@rachelrach691]

Brilliant, keep us all posted. I have 4 society chicks super happy 😄

[@MrAviary]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@ehsanahmed2736]

What to do with the infertile egg??

[@MrAviary]

I always leave them in. Otherwise you potentially disturb the nest too much

[@Kanhaiya_pathak116]

Bhai bird ke baby ko egg se nikal ne baad kya kitne din baad feed dena h

[@MrAviary]

The best is that it is fed after a couple of hours. But sometimes the parents start feeding later. In my experience the chicks can survive at least 12 hours without food the first day

Thank you 😊

[@jennywrenn469]

Thank you so much!!! Would there be a reason my zebra finches would only be laying infertile eggs? I have a pair of black cheeks, then hen lays they both incubate but no fertile eggs. Thanks!!

[@MrAviary]

That can have many reasons, age,cage,diet,are you sure it's a male and even more

Hi there i recently bought some finches and was wondering if they would be ok outside in the UK all year round in an aviary I have gouldians, zebras, society's, star finches and diamond doves

[@MrAviary]

Then you should have an heated indoor area for the winter

[@benyoung2738]

@@MrAviary thanks for your reply I think I will just end up keeping them indoors for the colder months and putting in the aviary when its warm just another question what kind of lighting do you recommend for them when they are kept indoors?

My zebra finches had 2 eggs , this really helped if me finding out if there was something in it thanks!

Nice hopefully you get some gouldian chicks would be very cool. Also i have a question my zebra finches had a nest and after breeding for 1 week they threw the eggs suddenly out en 3 of them were fertile. What could be the reason behind this?

[@MrAviary]

Do they share their cage?

[@St333ve_]

@@MrAviary nope only the 2 of them in there

[@MrAviary]

@@St333ve_ One reason I can think of is maybe too much protein, they will get hyped up a little too much. Do you feed them eggfood or live food?

[@St333ve_]

@@MrAviary yeah besides normal tropical bird seeds and cucumber/apple i give them twice a week egg food and every tuesday and friday

[@jaivlis9038]

@@St333ve_ that’s why, you should stop feeding them eggfood once the hen starts to lay eggs, to avoid hyping up the male. You can feed them eggfood again once the first egg hatches!
