david jones 97 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Over the moon as after a bit of worry with the cock bird, a month or so back. The hen has now started to sit tight on four eggs for the last week or so, this is my 1st ever pair of these and are such tame little birds, great addition to my aviary. Does any one else on the THL keep these who could pass on some sound advice about them. All the best David jones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

david jones 97 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 WOW Taz just out of curiosity do they make good parents, can you just leave them to it and they get on with it. Or is there more to them than that. Altb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taz2010 1,297 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 yes they can make fantastic parents but like in many birds sometimes parent wont rear,cocks get aggresive to hen sitting on nest,parents mutilate young especially when ya put a ring on them thats why you need to cover any rings you put on,but usually good parent i had 10 pairs last year and bred 105 bullfinch mutations bred the most in britain last 2 years by ioa report 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
