Gouldian Finches

The Gouldian Finches have also made there intentions made clear that they would like to start laying eggs. They built a make shift nest out of grass on the side of the aviary with in two days.

As a result I have introduced the finch nesting box back into the aviary using there dried grass a internal nesting material. I craft a hollow round ball in the nesting box out of the dried grass. I have been told Gouldian Finches are particularly lazy in building there own nest; something definitely not shared by my pair. The male has since taken up century duty at the entrance as the female has disappeared inside.
