Over time the breed has adapted well to cooler climates. In talking to some breeders, in the earlier days, cooler climate breeders were plagued with the same problems with the red faced, as that faced by gouldian breeders.
RED HEADED FINCH INSTALL
Provision should be made at the outset to be able to install slotted tracking on the front of the aviary, to slide in either Perspex or Polycarb sheets during the winter months, to keep out the winds, and help in some small part to keep heat in. high and was more than adequate to cope with up to 3 pairs. This should not be seen as a detriment to the new breeder with limited space available. Whilst ideally they may prefer a large well-planted aviary, with plenty of flight space. Ideally when first introduced to Australia, it was more suited to areas north of Sydney but over time has adapted well to southern Australia and seems to thrive providing normal prudent precautions are taken to prevent cold winds and draughts.Īviary Requirements: Frankly, I don’t think it really matters. Climate Base: In it’s original habitat being on the same latitude as Townsville. Habitat: Open country bordering forested areas, and at any altitude where the habitat is suitable. This article then is not designed or written as an authoritative text on the breed, but rather as an introduction that I wish I had received, and as such I trust that you find that it assists you. And, whilst not my first choice of bird when starting off in aviculture it has possibly been instrumental in not only maintaining my interest, but making me really hungry to find out more and more about this delightful aviary character. The enjoyment that I have gained in breeding the species has been invaluable.
Whilst they do gain mention in books written on foreign finches I found the information, whilst valuable, did not in my opinion, do just to this magnificent little bird.
In setting out to write this basically simple article, I do so on the basis that despite my searching, I could not find a volume of any nature devoted to this particular breed.
