sorry but every has there own opinion but i personally would not put these rings on my birds if you look at the pictures you can see some rings have clearly got different diameter holes and in the past i have had to cut this type of ring of feeders i have brought in as i said this is only my opinion and what i have learnt over the years of keeping zebra finches
-
be careful if buying rings from E BAY a lot of folk sell rings that are 2 or 3 times thicker than a proper ring

I now have a large cage I can keep any new stock in for a few days so will do it the way you have suggested
two weeks minimum to be on the safe side

sorry to hear about the death of your java sparrow but as Andrew123 says all new birds Must be Quarantined for the health of your existing stock or it may not be the only one you lose

one piece of friendly advice i would give is bin the wicker nests and the nesting material you have given them the material will wind itself around there legs i prefer to use coconut fiber and meadow grass and the wicker nests does not allow easy inspection in my opinion

thats Nasty
but on saying that i bet they would go well with mine -
did i say i picked up a really nice pair of lightback bc at Newark nice deep colour and black flanks
-
welcome nice mix of colours you have there
-
put the trap against the wall because seemingly they prefer to run close to the wall i prefer to use sealed bait stations i just have the fear of an escaped bird flying or landing on a trap if using bait i have found sunflower seeds glued on is very efective
-
what are you using as bait Sarah
-
what have you been giving them so far and young birds are called chicks humans have babies
-
-
seen on Facebook that Dean Moore is taking some really nice lightbacks to Stafford and is not looking for much for them
Allan
sorry just seen they are all sold i did say they where really nice lol
