Tips for Keeping and Breeding STAR FINCHES, Aviary Birds

[@michaelfrazer1807]

Thank You so much for sharing.. this is a bird that I would love to add to my Owls and Gouldians . Have a fantastic day

[@MrAviary]

Thanks, they will be a perfect addition

[@Meowstar_90]

I saw a Star Finch when I was out walking my dog, I presume an escapee given its not native to the UK. It seemed very tame, but sadly it was too busy with passers by so I was unable to catch it. I became fascinated as I love birds and had never seen this one before. I'm still on the lookout in case I find it again, and I'll be more prepared next time. They're absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the informative video.

[@MrAviary]

Nice story, it is almost impossible to catch escapees unfortunately. Although I managed ones when it join a flock of other birds and came back every day

[@Meowstar_90]

@@MrAviary Sorry for the late reply - I don't seem to get notifications on here. 😅 - it's reassuring to know that they can join flocks of other birds - we have a lot of birds around the area so I'm hoping that's what happened. I never did see it again, though I like to think it's out there somewhere living life.

I can tell you really do love your birds. I appreciate the great information.

[@MrAviary]

Thank you, appreciate it. I do the best to give the birds what they want and need

Thank you! I’d love more species videos

Thank you, I will try my best

Very good video full of important informations! The star finches are one of my fav species! Lovely birds ! 👍

[@MrAviary]

Simple but stunning birds, so definitely also one of my fav species.

[@MrRuud109]

Dutch in Spain here :) I got a first pair of star finches - though I seem to have 2 males. Still looking for some gouldians but fairly hard to find here in Spain. Thank you for the video, very informative.

Dankjewel

[@av5135]

I really like this species in the aviary

[@MrAviary]

Me too ☺️

[@प्रकृतिLove]

Waoooo so beautiful birds 👌👍❤️❤️

[@MrAviary]

Beautiful and easy to keep, perfect bird

[@shanrrosh]

Very pretty little birds and their display is really cute. I was thinking about getting some, but since I really would like to keep plum headed finches I had to skip as they can apparently mix with one another.

[@MrAviary]

I've indeed read that they can interbreed with plum headed finches, however this is not very likely. Other species of finches are more likely to interbreed.

[@Mimi-fg2wu]

Thank you so much! I’m considering adopting a couple and I was looking for information. Your video helped me a lot. 👍🏼😊

[@MrAviary]

They are great beginner birds but still wonderful for experts

[@colesbackyardcoop]

Hello. Great video and information. I had three pairs and they gave me lots of babies. Good luck with yours. Take care!

[@MrAviary]

Thank you ☺️

[@gouldianuk9875]

Great video as always friend. These really are prolific breeders when they start just like zebra finches in my opinion. I physically have to separate mine to stop them breeding just to take care of my hens health but in 6 to 7 months time they happily start all over. I currently have 12 new Star chicks from 3 rounds this year and may let them have a fourth clutch before their winter break as they are still in great condition. Fantastic little active and beautiful finches, recommended for even beginners ❤

[@MrAviary]

Can't argue with that :D

Thank you for sharing! I’m looking for finches which are calm and loving to try new things. Any recommendations? Thank you!

[@MrAviary]

Do you already have other finches?

[@noelbonillab]

Great video. What camera do you use?

[@MrAviary]

Thanks, mostly GoPro and Canon d50

[@noelbonillab]

@@MrAviary Super Thank

[@Azam_Pakistan]

Great. What plants do you put in your star finch aviary?

[@MrAviary]

Coniferous species and Grass species

[@pratikranawade6371]

I loved your video! Very well explained! Can you do a video on Yellow Crowned Bishop finches and their breeding? You have an experience on them?

[@MrAviary]

I never had those, interesting species which is on my wish list but for now no information

[@pratikranawade6371]

Sir are the star finches good parents when raising their own chicks?

[@MrAviary]

Most of the time they are

[@johnnymacf1]

Another great vid as usual. Have you ever done a video on ringing?

[@MrAviary]

Thanks, no because I almost never ring my birds because I do not want to disturb them. I always ring my birds with open rings

[@johnnymacf1]

@@MrAviary what are open rings?

[@johnnymacf1]

@@MrAviary nevermind. I googled them 🤣

[@finchking]

Nice

[@MrAviary]

Thanks

[@mimicrane3990]

Going to put a pair in a large flight and would like to have some kind of live plant or branch. Any suggestions? Do I keep it in water or a pot? I like how yours are always sideways. Is that ivy-looking plant real? I would like the stars to be my first pair. Any advice. Love your videos!

[@MrAviary]

Thanks, If you take grasses or coniferous species in a pot you will be good 👍

[@Randomhandlelol]

I live in Florida and have an outdoor flight cage. It does get chilly in the winter, Would this prevent them from breeding and if I remove nests? I'm considering adding some next year and currently have Society, Zebra and orange cheeked waxbill finches. I also have King quail and diamond doves.

[@MrAviary]

The cold will most likely prevent them from breeding in winter, however some individuals will still make nest and try. Removing nest will always prevent them to breed.

[@Dorrzy123]

I've just taken in a starfinch that has lost his tail feathers. Will they grow back. If so how long and any tips to help him

[@MrAviary]

Yes they will grow back during its next molt. Just a non stressful environment and good healthy food

[@Dorrzy123]

Thank you for the video, very interesting as always and a lot of information. I need help. I am looking for a sighted adult male starfinch in Illinois near Chicago. Maybe someone knows reliable breeders of these birds.

[@MrAviary]

Thanks hopefully someone will respond who has a male for you

Can I keep 2 male finches together or 2 females?

[@MrAviary]

For most finches yes you can
