I'm new to this Aussie Finch message board and hope to get any advice or suggestions from experienced finch breeders/collectors. I live on the Central Coast in NSW (an hour away from Sydney) and am keen on building a nice finch aviary (7 pairs to start off with).
I want to absorb as much information as I can (building a flight aviary) so I can give the finches the best, comfortable,homey and HEALTHY environment for them to live and raise happy families.
Unfortunately I have looked everywhere on the internet for those starting out with finches (beginners) - there seems to be very few.
If you can give me ideas (or websites) on building an 'ideal' aviary for finches plus the direction it should be facing (south or southwest??), I would really appreicate it. Perhaps I'm being too fussy?
Marcus - thanks for your recent e-mail, your advices are very useful.
Do you know any finch breeders on the Central Coast? So I can look at the set-up and plan.
I look forward to your replies/advices with great interest.
