Hello all! Recently, someone near me put up a yellow fronted canary (green singing finch) up for adoption. I think they are really interesting looking birds, sadly it seems like there isn't much unique information on them, mostly just basic "finch" information. Does anyone have experience with...

So a little while ago, one of Emma's eggs went missing. Just now getting around to posting. She was sitting on two fake and one real egg. The real egg was fertile and I had not yet removed it from the nest. Strangely one day, the real egg went missing. The two fake eggs were still in the nest...

Hi, I pet Budgerigar since 2 month. Recently I want to pet Cockatiel, Lovebird and Finch. But I have no another Place to pet. So, Can I able to pet Cockatiel, Lovebird, Budgeriager and Finch in different cage at same place. Can It will hurt them? can they will get problem when they breeding? Thanks

So I went ahead and let Charlie & Emma nest. I am not going to re-explain or justify my reasons. You can read about them in my last post here: Charlie & Emma | Avian Avenue Parrot Forum Things have developed into a rather strange situation and I'm curious if anyone has experienced this before or...

Hey all, need some opinions. C&E have been in a nesty mood for the last month or so. Its probably been a good year since I took their nest away from their last nesting season. Usually they are content without a nest, at least Emma is. She ignores Charlie's advances and life goes on like normal...

So earlier tonight as I was cleaning up the kitchen I heard some unusual commotion emanating from the finchy household. Usually Charlie and Emma settle down for the night on the weekends (relative to my schedule) around the time I start wrapping up downstairs. They have a pretty regular...

My old roommate just got 5 finches someone that really didn't care anything about them. He asked me if I wanted one of them because it looks like the other four have been picking on it. I just want to make sure that it's something like that and not a disease or anything because I also have a...

Hi bird people! I have a society finch, one of a pair of males who get along fine (no biting, aggression), who has begun huddling in the space between the top of the little bamboo nest and the top of the cage. Both birds do that when scared, but he just does it all the time now. He's definitely...

Charlie and Emma are so funny sometimes when they get really active and fly around the kitchen. I've started to notice a pattern in some of their flights. They have a tendency to come out the cage and do a loop around my head. They seem to try to get as close as possible too when looping. It's...

Sigh, why are non hand raised finches soooooo hard to win over? Charlie and Emma have their good and bad days, but most of the time they are still pretty scared of me. I have had them now since September 1st of last year I think? I spend almost every day with them for at least 8-10 hours a day...

No explanation needed... :)

So Emma has picked out a favorite spot on a branch near the corner of their cage and seems to have decided this will be their new nesting site. I'm not saying it's an impossible spot, but it is quite funny watching Charlie try and try and try to make this spot work (well get it started at...

So to those of you who followed my post from a few weeks ago about handling the finches daily, I ended up abandoning it completely. It started to become a "chase" with Charlie and was really stressing him out. We almost had an accident too so I put a stop to it. Its been a week or so now and I...

YIKES! "Almost" had an accident last weekend. This was very scary! Emma was out of the cage and a little frightened from something. I had a friend staying the weekend and he was in the foyer walking towards the front door. Well Emma flew into the foyer and landed on the ground on top of my...

So I am sad to announce that Charlie and Emma have been separated for the time being. I noticed that Emma was spending an unusual amount of time out of the nest. Usually they trade off pretty regularly. I decided to watch them closely and it turns out Charlie was being very aggressive towards...

So Charlie & Emma are on their second clutch (at least since arriving home with me) and interestingly enough, Emma decided to only lay 6 eggs this time. I know you may be asking, "I thought you weren't going to let them lay eggs this time?" Originally yes, that was the plan, but then I thought...

So I finally got around to building a new home for the chicken nuggets. Their original home was purchased at the store and it worked, but I wasn't happy with how I had it mounted in the cage, or the poor job I did lighting it. Whenever I needed to remove the coconut, it was always an ordeal and...

Charlie and Emma are at it again. Emma laid her first egg of her second clutch today. I was originally planning on replacing eggs this time right out of the gate, but actually, I think I will let her lay all her eggs again one more time. I am curious to see if she stops right at 7 again. Third...

Anyone out there hear their Society Finches making a barking like sound? It's usually when they get really frightened. Primarily Charlie does it. Seems to be a kind of high pitched alarm type call. A quick, sharp, "bark" is the best way I can describe it. Usually once to twice per second. I have...
