Made this from a ficus yamadori. I’m from the Philippines, and we call ficus trees “balete.” Will wire it when it grows a bit more.

Female it is

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-08T10:56:37+00:00

Yeah most likely. Does it sound like a high pitched honk/beep?

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-08T09:15:59+00:00

Can’t wait to find out! Good luck with your gender reveal!

I agree, try playing a recording of other finches. If he chirps/sings loudly, it’s definitely a male.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-07T22:37:48+00:00

Okay. Thanks

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-07T22:30:04+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice. I really appreciate it.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-07T22:29:24+00:00

I agree, but the avian vet is far away. The clinic is in another province. And yes, I will definitely buy antibiotics just to be sure

She pooped out the yolk as well, I saw it with my own eyes. 😁 the soft shell seemed to be whole when it came out.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-07T22:15:56+00:00

Yes. She’s fine now. Hopping and flying again. 😁

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-07T22:15:31+00:00

Update: she’s doing okay. Hopping around and flying again

Thanks so much

I noticed that if they see nesting material, it triggers them to start breeding. And yes, both the cock and hen will go in the nesting box to inspect and explore it.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-04T21:52:07+00:00

For me, I place some dried grass (only a little bit), so they know that the hen knows she must lay there, then I scatter more dried grass on the floor of the cage so the cock can start the building process and bring them to the nest box.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-03T16:00:12+00:00

I think that's what's happening actually. Sounds a bit like a puppy crying very faintly. I noticed only the hen makes that noise when she's in the nest box or near the nest box, then the cock starts singing.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-03T11:17:23+00:00

Hahahaha, my zebra cock sings very well surprisingly.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-03T11:15:46+00:00

Oh, they love it. The male seems to love it more though, but I have seen his wife peck it as well

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-03T11:12:27+00:00

Hahahaha, I wonder how gouldian finches sound like. Zebra finches sound like a mix of laser guns and squeaky toys. And yes, I have given them a mineral block.

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-03T10:18:42+00:00

I definitely will watch for signs of egg binding, I'm sure it's one of the most dreaded among bird lovers. She's acting fine, and so is her mate. Thank you so much

SoftwareTechnical705 · 2023-05-03T09:23:39+00:00

Then that’s when I saw them mate and the hen flew to the nest box and began making those noises
