African Waxbills

These pages contain information about our experiences with these delightful active colourful little birds. There will be information about African waxbills, Australian (Grass) finches and other African and Asian finches such as those in the Lonchura family (mannikins and nuns).So far we have kept and bred Orange cheeked Waxbills, Red eared Waxbills and Gold breast waxbills (African Waxbills), Australian Gouldians, Zebra Finches and Bicheno Finches (commonly referred to as Owl Finches). Bengalese are not found in the wild but are somewhat unusual in being a very good fostering species, and we have bred these also. Recently added a small group of Black and White Mannikins to our flock, they are in quarantine currently and are still very young, next year they will join the other breeders and hopefully will be as productive as our other birds.

Eventually we will be adding a variety of parrot finches and quite possibly some Violet eared waxbills and Purple Grenadier Waxbills, also anything else that comes along that is suitable. Soon I will have detailed information on what we have found to work well and the pitfalls I try to avoid.
Just added a pair of Blue Breasted Parrot Finches (Erythrura tricolor) also known as the Forbes. These guys are stunning.
