Lady Gouldian Finch Is from northern Australia. They live in groups, are very sociable, and have many different mutations. The female is duller and her bill turns dark grey during mating. In the wild, they nest in half open boxes or hollow logs lined with grass. In our aviaries, they nest in a finch nest. Their diet is seeds, greens, insects, and commercial egg or soft food. During molting, they require rich foods, vitamins, minerals, soaked and just sprouted small seeds, etc. Some are prolific breeders. The 3-8 eggs are incubated by both partners for 14 days and young arrive in 21 days. They know they are beautiful and act as if Royal. |

Canary The canary breed was developed in England and Scotland. Their average lifespan is 10 years. The canary eats seeds, greens, fruits and eggs. They prefer an open nest for breeding. Incubation lasts 14 days. A pair of canaries are very enjoyable to watch. Their are no marks to separate the males from the females, but the cock is usually the one who sings. |

Star Finch The Star Finch or Red-Tailed Finch comes from Northern and Eastern Australia. The female is lighter in color. Parents should be provided with mealworms when rearing young. |

Cordonblue Waxbill One of the most beautiful of the waxbills. The male has the upper parts brown; the face, breast and sides are bright blue. The female resembles the male but is slightly duller in color. The bird is quite hardy in captivity and is a free breeder.

Gold Finch The European Gold Finch is a popular and well-known cage and aviary bird. It is often used for crossing with canary hens to obtain the singing "mules" which are popular in Europe. They use an open, cup-shaped nest. A clutch consists of four or five pale blue eggs which are speckled with brown. The hen alone incubates, and typically two broods are reared per season. They eat seeds, fruit, greens, and mealworms. They have been known to live as long as 27 years. |

African Orange Weaver There are several species and subspecies of African Orange Weavers. They are sometimes called Crimson-crowned or Red Bishops. They are native to Africa. Their color is brilliant during the breeding season but fades once it is over. The male has a unique song. The female is never as colorful as the male. They live in pairs or in groups and eat seeds, greens, commercial eggs and soft food, and love insects. They usually make their own nests and are often aggressive towards other birds. They often rule the aviary. Normally, these birds have don’t breed in captivity, but we have had two of these special birds bred in our aviaries. |

Society Finch These birds are not found in the wild bur are a cross-breed produced in captivity. There are a variety of colors of Soceity Finches. They are excellent foster parents and are not very protective of their own nests. They are usually prolific breeders and a normal clutch will have 7-7 eggs. If there are perhaps 10 or more eggs, you have two females in the aviary. There is no good way to tell male from female. Eggs are incubated for about 18 days by both parents. |
