Broad Ring...White Eyes...Kikiyu (I think that's how to spell it).

excellent, i hope they get on well together, Gillian Sumner who has them says the dominant pair usually are the ones only to breed

I popped the Zosties into the flight with my other pair today - they are all having a great time :-P They were really starting to stink the bird room out - and fruit flies were everywhere!

Hello

An update on my Zosties :razz:

I have both pairs in my largest aviary which until late this year was divided in two. The pair I have had the longest seem to have chosen the end that has the indoor flight and my new pair have chosen the other end (even though they can get to the indoor flight).

Both pairs enjoy honey water, occasional wax worm (money permitting), meal worms and Comice and Desert Pears...oh and Blueberries when they are UNDER £1.99 a small punnet!! :-P

Oh, one thing I have discovered, these lovely little birds DO NOT like Golden Song Sparrows!!!

mine love the nectar mix i make up for the twice a day (the igredients can be found in the feeding forum.
