  6. Hello everybody, well I have decided it would be nice to have an interest in my old age ( approaching 70 ),I already had a fish pond which I built several years ago but that didn't really keep me occupied enough was looking for something not to strenuous, after looking on the internet I started to become interested in bird keeping I found that you tube had lots of videos on finch keeping. So that is the path that I have chose,after gathering as much information as I could I found that zebra finches was the best for a beginner like me.The first thing was to have outdoor aviary built and the best place for it was on my 4ft x 8ft patio,I decided that a 4ft x 4ft birdhouse with a 4ft x 4ft flight. I contacted the sign of the owl here in Ivybridge Devon and after agreeing a price I asked them to built it for me,I was fortunate to find a breeder quite local who sold me 8 hens and 2 cocks. They have been in the aviary for a week now and nest building like mad. A total beginner as much advice would be very much appreciated.
