stubby 175 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 my jave sparrows seem to be destroying the nests have u any experience with these birds? ferret_uk these birds are known for this, better to cage them seperatly if you want to breed others Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McKay 37 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Got 7 Budgies, Pair of Canaries and a pair of Java Sparrows in mine, not a large aviary but a comfortable size for what I've got, I think the java sparrows are the nicest to look at, They look almost like they are made of wax Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullx 12 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 well Ferret,i think you would be better to seperate them when you want to breed,i seperated mine around may and then paired what i wanted to breed,bred a few bullies and goldies,and a good lot of mules,[linnet x roller][goldie x irish fancy][redpoll x irish fancy] and siskin x irish fancy.
