  8. Your goin to have people tryin con you with shit that has bin tried an tested at this time of year . Try someone you can trust has good birds and maybe buy some young from them to look forward for next year atleast you'll buy them cheaper and no bad birds . I started in the middle of a breeding season an bought only Shite as I was none the wiser . That only ate food or died . Tried an tested .with above make your own breeders and accessories . You will have to put your hand in your pocket to buy but you'll want to buy as you start seeing things at shows markets the more you get in the better

  12. This is only success I'm having its not in my yard my friend has a fine big aviary built onto his shed (I built it) and when I had rats eat my birds I moved the remainder to his garden before Christmas . Any ways there wasn't much room for breeders so I kept what I wanted for selected breeding and left the rest in His aviary . So where 50/50 on any youngsters in that flight as we bought and added some. So far we've a pair goldfinchs nesting away the green finch will tread anything and we have witnessed the Siskin tread one the Glosters hens . But it's not in my yard doesn't feel 100 percent
  13. Cheers fireman never pass by with sharing bit knowledge cheers will keep posted .
  14. Lads giving goldfinch mules ago this year but I'm not having much success infact none at all. hens not taking to cocks and a female finch I have (paired) with a Siskin I think has the eye for a Goldie cock not to sure. Don't know weather I'm being impatient or to put divider back in maybe for a little bit . Any suggestions I have bought this little aviary that sits on a dolly with four wheels from a friend it's well made and if and by middle of May I have still nothing I'm considering letting them into this and make there own minds up . Any youngster is better than nothing what you guys think
  15. I talk a lot of shit and if I continue to do so I will be removed from this forum. It's people like myself and my opinions which shine a bad light on everyone else.
  16. Fork blood lines worker to worker good enough . If it's in him it up to you bring it out in him . Not every one is a good one and no body sells good ones. . When picking a pup I always start by selecting one out of which ever comes over and is eager enough to greet you not the one that's jumping on all the rest for your attentio .(to hard to train imo). Then sex them then examine the ones that catch the eye . Pick your pup pay the man . That's provided you get look at full litter first which may not be . But best luck
  17. Bought a grey pate last year turned out to be a hen . Have had her paired up since January with a Siskin . Well about twenty minute ago she got out by my hand and out the door she flew (stupid cnut) knowing she bin in double breederall her life so me thinking she won't have have much flight I followed if over neighbors wall as I could see her declining . Any ways lost sight of her then she pops up on three in my garden . Two other gold finches beside her so I got into the shed and got my aviary trap put Siskin in to hang him out on side the shed in the hope I'd get her . I spooked them away s
