What a wonderful, happy success story. And if they manage to raise another clutch, that would be so exciting that you could get them to breed, so exciting. As always thank you for taking the time to film and share all this fantastic footage An. I love your videos x
@@Echosaviary thank you! My brother came up with it haha. We actually have a lot of mutual bird friends like Rancel and Tina b. I’ve been a huge fan of yours for a few years, I’ve just recently gotten my channel going and learning how to use CZcams beyond watching it haha.
Congratulations!! Every new baby from this species is an accomplishment. Then again, after seeing all of your greenback twinspot successes, I think you could probably walk on water.
Thanks for the encouragement! Each species is just enough different that the challenge is real. But learning about how to care for them properly is the whole point for me, so I best keep at it!
Amazing achievement breeding black-cheeked waxbills! I wonder how you come up with the first clutch being unrelated to the second clutch, since they come from the same pair. The first and second clutch would then be as related as the birds within the clutch?
Thanks- you likely did not see the entire saga! The biological parents of the first clutch always failed to feed and the parents who raised the chicks always had infertile eggs so I did a switcheroo and it worked.
That sounds like a simple question, but finch diet changes depending if they are resting, molting, breeding, feeding chicks. There are excellent books and resources on line specific to zebra finches. A simple start is a high quality finch-specific seed mix, millet spray, cucumber, mineral grit, and a small amount of a protein source once a week which can be purchased commercially as eggfood. You can check out the playlist called feeding the birds to see how complicated it can get.
Absolutely amazing!!!!! How wonderful...
Thanks Doug- i am stealing some ideas from your aviary for 2023!

What would you recommend for zebra finches to eat
