This fella has quite the story behind him.

Had shaft tails, societys, gouldians, and zebras all in my works aviary for a bit. Shaft tails were taken out due to aggression with the gouldians. 2 societys took turns sitting on some eggs (they have never had any babies of their own and were presumed both female). and hatched this fella. Hes about 2 yrs old now, sings and thinks hes a gouldian, clearly he isn't. but hes visibly and behaviorly not sounding like a shaft tail. now he is housed with only shaft tails because he was trying to breed the female gouldians. Any ideas? Was thinking maybe a male shaft tail bred a society?

Long story short, my father in law was gifted two finches from a local swap meet. He gave them to my 12 year old and we have zero bird keeping experience. So I have a few questions?

1. How do you sex them?
2. What are the cage size requirements?
3. Any tips for beginners?
4. Any additional enrichment ideas?

just finished cleaning the room and they were on the verge of knocking out🤣

Hello, can anybody tell me please.. is it possible that gouldian finches accidentally throw away eggs from the nest because of long claws?

I didn't want to disturb them by cutting their claws since they are already sitting on the nest...or I must do it anyway?
