I keep my house at 67 F. All year around and my lady Gouldian are fine.
Very cool. Do they breed for you?
Thank you for sharing my video 🙏. Beautiful birds
Thanks for visiting
@birdnerd you're very welcome, I'll try to watch your videos again
Thanks for the video. So besides bird supplies maybe you wrote a care guide?
Great idea!
Thanks guys, Bird Feeders?
Maybe!
Hmm tough to guess, but based on the "free samples".. maybe new merch? Or you got a bird seed sponsor for the podcast? 😀
Hmm you may be on to something.
Let me guess you guys are getting some new birds fire finches?
I did get some new birds this week. But nope.
Nice job Chris! What a symphony you have going? When do they stop their chirping?
Haha yes always noise and chirping going on in the aviary.
Great video with extremely helpful information. Could you make a video discussing light sensitivity because for me that's always been a big problem with keeping Gouldian s
Sure thing! Great suggestion.
I have 3 society finishes and I can't find Anymore.I would like to add one more or 2. To my flock , can you help me😊
Yes PM me on Instagram @birdnerd4
I can't find any society finches anymore.I live in Chicago petsmart.Stop selling them they won't tell me why can you help me Chris!!!
I can't find any society finishes anymore.I live in Chicago I checked the suburbs too.No luck.Is anybody elder can help me??😮
Did you ever? Think about getting mikey a female or does he have one already??😅
I have yes. He did have one a few years ago but she passed away. He is 17 years old so not sure if he would be fertile or not.
Hello, Chris. I have society finches and I can't find them in the stores. I want to get a couple more. Can you help me find society finches? I live in Chicago and they don't have them in the suburbs. Either. Petsmart stops selling them. I need help😊
Gouldians are readily available here, but we don't have any at the moment... once the big aviary is finished we will purchase some more... thank you for information you share, and cheers for sharing...
Sounds great! Thanks for watching.
Good information, always enjoy your videos. I’d be interested in some of your gouldians. I’m in the process of starting a new flock and. Wanting a few different bloodlines.
Awesome. Yeah I’ll let you know when I get some available.
Im an Aussie in China,, I don't know what a super is,, Happy days mate, I appreciate your vids!, my Blue Gouldians are just about to have 3 leave the nest, all thanks to you Sir!
I appreciate it. A super is an option on CZcams at the bottom of the video clip. When you click it then it will allow you to make a donation to the channel with a comment. Then that comment is highlighted throughout the video. Love hearing your success. Great work!
Thanks for the video on Gouldians. In your opinion, would it be better to have them in a mixed Avery with other finches or keep 4 or 5 pairs on their own? Also I'm planning on making a large bird room in my garage. Your shed is it insulated, or can I get by with just a heat source in the winter months. Also what temperature do you keep your shed in the winter. Thanks.
Great comment! My shed is insulated which helped keep the temps more stable inside. I do also heat it during the winter with a thermostat. I do breed during the winter so i keep it a little warmer than usual. My temp is set to kick on if temps fall below 75 degrees. For the gouldians I have had more success with emending in individual pairs but I am trying the colony setting for the first time this year so we’ll see how well I do.
Only two eggs?
Yeah not sure what happened to the other two
@@birdnerd did you ever feed them any sort of calcium?
I have all 4 bishop together , but I am selling them .they are not for me
Yeah they can definitely be aggressive birds. But sure are pretty when they’re in color.
Great podcast with very helpfull information. Another few expert birds for me are, Hawfinches, greenfinches anf Bullfinches espacially in terms of aggression and breeding
Yes agree. I’d love some bullfinches. Not sure we even have any in the United States.
Really!?! Sorry to hear that.😢. I live in Malta a small European Country and since they are a European Species we get a ton
Great Podcast!
Thanks!
Thanks for listening
Do bourkes and splendid parakeets produce feather dander!?
They are not super dusty, nothing compared to a tiel
Yeah agreed with Jay. Not much dander from these two species.
Great stream. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
What birds do you guys have available for sale?
Several different colors of bourkes is what I mostly have available at the moment.
@@birdnerd okay Ty, was looking for gouldian.
Never seen a colorful Cockateel 😂❤
Lol
Heyyyy Guys 😂❤
Heyyyy!!
Cool show, Cheers from this Aussie in China!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Cockatiels have a regal look to them even if they aren't the most colourful birds. I agree, their potential is underrated.
Cockatiels are my favourite.
Absolutely!
Yes for sure!
June 6 is my birthday too😂😂😂😂
Hahaha amazing!!
Happy late birthday.
@@birdnerd thank you
Ive had my zebra finches 3 years.no babies.no eggs.they were sold to me as male and female.my female is all white.my male is grey with orange cheeks.
You either have two males or you’re female is old and not laying. Send me a pic of them on Instagram I’d love to see them.
@@birdnerd thank you
Hi Birdnerd I have 6, 4 month old Bengalese Finish's at what age can I put in a next box please let me know thank you.
I would wait at least until they’re 8 months old.
Do you sale your shafttail?I bought a male at a auction last weekend.i need a female.im in Ohio.
Yes I do sell them. I’ve got a few chicks right now that just weaned. Not sure if they’re male or female yet.
I just picked up a pair of cut throats a few weeks ago. I paid 140.00 Canadian for the pair. They also had Amadinas and I overlooked them to be honest. May have to go back and get a pair now. I am enjoying the cut throats. Love the song and much quieter than my Zebras !! Thanks for this episode !!!
Yes go back and grab them. They both are great finches to have and yes definitely quieter than the zebra finches for sure.
Cheers guys, from this Aussie in China!
Thank you!
It makes me happy Mr. Chris tried the fairly shrimps! Hope it brings you success in the future with the orange cheeks
Yes I agree. The birds weren’t quite sure what to do with them at first but then they got the hang of it.
I am having a hard time finding society finches at the pet stores. I used to get them from petsmart. They don't sell them anymore but they sell zebra finches zebra fences a little bit too loud for me. I have an apartment. Can you help me on this matter.
Yeah societies have been a little harder to come by these days. I don’t have any for sale at the moment. But you could look up Craig’s list and see if there are any for sale in your area or even put a post up on Facebook and see if there’s a breeder close by you.
I'm in Utah too. Would love a bird buddy maybe to trade with or buy from.
Yes absolutely.
this video must have taken a lot of hard work....thank you for putting in that effort. it is very helpful.
Thank you!
Hey Birdnerd, could you please make a video about breeding Owl Finches or st.helenas waxbills please? Thanks
Great idea! I have never owned any at Helena waxbills but I have owned and bred owl finches in the past.
Have you breed owl Finches
I have in the past yes.
@@birdnerd , are they easy to breed
How do we DM you?
Reach out to me on Instagram @birdnerd4
😊How old do they have to be to start breeding 😊
I would recommend you wait until at least 8 months old before you breed them.
@@birdnerd thank you. Will do 🕊️
Hey Chris, what's your info on fb so I can message you there? Can't find you on fb
Great video! My pair also just fledged 4 babies couple days ago and they have been so prolific.
That’s so awesome. Do you breed them individually or in an aviary?
Every birds price is going down in india and going up in USA.
👍
Thank you for that... we have a pair of Red faced and a pair of Yellow faced.. .but yet to give us any chicks... Cheers for sharing...
Thanks. Yeah they definitely seem to be tricky to breed.
Glad to be here. I have a pair of stars. Not been breeding.
They are definitely tricky to get going.
Not to do with this podcast but something I’ve noticed in other videos, have you tried sand instead of wood chip on the aviary floors, a lot less messy looking but I guess the down side is is that it doesn’t soak up as much water.
I have heard of people using sand as the bottom and I’ve heard positive and negative things about it. I’ve never tried it but I do like the look of a bottom sand floor.
Your Spanish is great Chris
Gracias amigo!
