Zebra Finch Breeding Tips

[@raulstaines8701]

Zebra finches best finches for beginners.. I have a bunch of these bird and it started from 2 pair. Got them in a pet shop 3 years ago. Love your videos man,

[@birdnerd]

Thank you

[@d1rkdiggler591]

Loving the amount of content lately, brilliant videos, I really appreciate the effort. Thanks a lot Chris , I know it isn’t easy with a young family, mine used to love the hobby more than me🤣

[@birdnerd]

Yes I definitely get a lot of help from my kiddos they love feeding the birds.

[@cindip7299]

I just brought home my first pair. I'm looking forward to learning.

[@elizabethg2715]

My son bought a pair.. swearing they were two boys.. well I goggle it there's boy "beep" girl "peep" he named them cuz of there noises.. but we've had them for maybe 4 months and we got our first egg yesterday.. I found it in food dish so I made a baby bird box with a little plastic cage we used for bugs , zip ties the cages together and put a lightbulb box over the plastic cage on outside, its working so far, I didnt have anything to start them with surprise of the egg so I put took gauze laid it on all sides of little cage put egg in middle and cut up paper towels and left in cage, well the new daddy Beep is covering egg with the pieces of towel. I was soo excited to see an egg but shocked I thought they were to young to breed but obviously not!! Keep your eye on them! They're cute as heck the past 24 hours from egg laying!!

[@limitlesspotential9599]

Love the channel. I will definitely pick up the bedding for the best through your link. Thanks for these videos.

[@jreca]

Do you have to cut the bars on the cage to put the nest box on the outside or do those cages have a door for the nest box?

[@pauloquintal3674]

Chris, How many pairs of zebra finches should i get 2 or 3

[@birdnerd]

It depends on how big their cage is. If you only have a smaller cage I would only get one pair. If you have a large cage or aviary you could get 2 or 3 pairs

[@pauloquintal3674]

I’m going to give them a cages size like you for each pair ps thanks

[@gouldianuk9875]

Nice vid as per Chris. Whilst on the subject of Zebs, I was at a breeders the weekend just gone picking up a few Gouldian hens and a pair of blue Gouldians and I came across a mutation of Zeb I'd personally not seen before. He called them triple orange Zebras, they were a little more pricey than standard English zebs but they had a great size and colouration to them, beautiful birds, not sure if their available across the pond but I'd recommend you see them if they are, knowing you like the big English zebs friend ... Keep the videos coming, very informative for beginners and enthusiasts alike 👍🇬🇧

[@birdnerd]

That’s awesome I have been wanting to get my hands on some. I do know that there are some breeders on the east coast in the U.S. that have them. They are beautiful birds

[@AAA-kw2gq]

Hi...Very nice set up..What's the catch in covering nest boxes with a piece of cloth. Also tell temperature details in your area mate

[@birdnerd]

The cloth is for 2 reasons one it gives the birds more privacy and 2 some of my nests have a gap that the birds can escape from so the cloth keeps the gap covered.

[@MAwYU]

Is Timothy hay ok to use as nesting material

[@birdnerd]

Yes

[@viva7777]

I have 2 pied zebra finches if I were to get pics could it be possible for you to tell me if male or female one is smaller than the other. I read that band on birds legs will tell the birds gender left for females and right on males. My small one happens to have the band on the left. Noone could tell me what they were in the store

[@birdnerd]

Send me pics on my Instagram @birdnerd4. Usually it doesn’t reveal gender by putting a band on a certain leg.

[@pvananth25]

will a Zebra finch breed with any other finch if i put them for breeding? Eg: a Zebra finch Male and a White Finch Female

[@birdnerd]

Is the white finch a zebra finch?

[@pvananth25]

@@birdnerd Not sure, its an Albino Finch (Female i can say 'cos of the pale orange beak) its completely white in color, no markings under the eyes or on feathers whatsoever.

[@kika096]

My zebra finches had a baby but it fell out of the nest last week, we’ve put it back and found it on the ground. What can I do? The father seems to feed it still, and I’ve fed it baby food as well. I’ve made a small nest for it on the floor of the cage because I’m scared it’ll fall again if we try to put it back to the nest. Someone please let me know what I can do to help this baby.💖🙏

[@maryaalabood6042]

where can I get nest and what should I give to my Canary until they build a nest

[@birdnerd]

I do have some nesting material on my website www.littlebirdnerd.com or you can just shred some paper towel and give that to them to build their nest.

[@robinhamill8869]

What do you use to catch your finches sorry in new to the hobby!

[@birdnerd]

I have a bird net that I bought at the pet store

[@stephengrant4911]

Chris have you ever had the penguin zebra finch mutation there my favorite and there really beautiful. And do you find the show type zebra finch the British ones are harder to breed the bigger the birds get.

[@birdnerd]

Yes I have had the penguins before. They are very attractive. And yes the bigger the birds are the more tricky they are at breeding.

[@gerardoemiliano2245]

i know it's kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?

[@camdynzaid24]

@Gerardo Emiliano Lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@marcokashton8279]

@Camdyn Zaid definitely, have been using flixzone for years myself :)

[@gerardoemiliano2245]

@Camdyn Zaid thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!

[@jorgedelatorre7895]

[@birdnerd]

Yeah I will be setting my gouldians up for breeding in about 2 months so I will start doing more videos on them

[@grace7695]

Hi. Just wondering does zebra finches siblings can be pair in the future to breed? Thanks. 😊

[@KuyaFincher]

[@ScottMSmith-cw2nt]

[@Worrior30304]

birdnerd hello! 11:40 I’m also trying to get the one you are trying to get. If you do get it will the baby chick be black then molt into white or will it be born with white feathers?

[@mandolinvideos3314]

Really enjoying these videos

[@birdnerd]

[@txnzexl2233]

Any quail update video

[@poorneshmukkati9738]

Hai My male finches. It is setting at one place & it is not active It don't use & put more weight on right leg Plizz tell the solution to be active 😩😩😩

[@birdnerd]

Sounds like your bird is sick and possibly has injured his leg I would seek a vet to see what is wrong with his leg.

[@Chrishf]

[@ManuelFernandez-dp7lf]

[@Laycoollove1]

They can lay eggs but inbreeding your birds can cause the offspring to have A higher chance of health complications and a shorter lifespan.
