Description
Men and women are identical in appearance. The only way to sex them is by behavior. The men sing a song, typical of many puppets. Fluffed with an outstretched neck and feathers, she will sing her songs and trills bounce back and forth on the rod when approaching the hen. (To see a man in his mating dance click to view) tend to sing. In fact, most men in a cage at all times to start singing a new member is added to the cage. There are differences in contact calls male and female, but it is difficult to describe and you have to hear them, they choose. Men tend to use this contact calls you while you are driving fast with fast films of the tail. There are cases of hens that sing, but this is rare.

There are several other mutations and colors. Dominating the mostly white feet, white bird called all true albino, dilute CreAmino and there is a tendency in Europe to blend with other Lonchura company to introduce different colors. Black Browns is an example of their efforts. There is also a series of mutations in the spring, as combing. There are many extras that almost all parts of the body, including things like the bells and whistles that cause breast feathers on the chest to emphasize or covered. I personally find all that attractive. Although the combination (diluted Gray, Pearl, and Ino), the color modifier mutations as possible in one of the primary colors (chocolate, hazelnut and deer) are the primary colors can be combined not only on purely random events . Some birds show, chocolate products, one white and one bird was and is (not to be confused religious three colors) and tri-color, but can not be reproduced.

Diet
Like most munias puppets or, more like finches society more bands to a parakeet Halo basis. They also strongly eating my food (eating eggs Roy), and vegetables are offered occasionally. Grit and calcium in the form of crushed egg shells and oyster shell and cuttlebone should always be available to them. While they can on their own children increases forage rather thin, it is best for their babies if you can get them to eat a high protein egg. It is also helpful for you and your former club is to promote a kind of insectivorous finches.

Breeder’s Notes
It can be difficult to stop the company increases finches place to start it. They are always ready at the drop of a hat in the race. And they are right in this little hat. They can be very sociable, as its name suggests, to intervene for the moment, however, their reproductive success. If a number of them are placed in the same cage, they all fit a birdhouse. It is not uncommon for 8 to 10 birds in a nest box for the night to rest. They seem to only stop when they are not appropriate boxes. The problem in practice is that all the eggs hatch, which used to go out without including or not the other way. The best way to increase the company’s finches in individual pairs or trios or quads. I still prefer some couples, if I can give them exactly sex, if it is not, I would put a trio in a cage and take my chances.

They take a variety of nesting boxes, baskets or just about anything that will keep them and their eggs. I prefer this (click to view) to use a common finch nest box with a semi-open front. Some of them are master builders of nests, but most are happy with only a few chains, feathers or other materials left in the box. Incubation should begin shortly after the third egg, but some couples are so excited the whole process, they can begin after the first egg. When this happens, it is possible that the eggs are laid when it was collected and replaced with dummy eggs, until a complete clutch clutch may generally range from 4 to remove, – 8 eggs. However, it is rarely necessary. Incubation lasts about 13 days, then got up and naked chicks are born. Parents Society finches are enthusiastic and take care of clutches, even very large. Some couples can not be intolerant to fall short of the size of chicks hatch late, while others will have no problem. The chicks start in about 21-25 days will be free and a further 2-3 weeks from the nest. The whole family will continue to rest in the nest at night. All chicks from their parents left after independence remain in the nest box and can even help functions incubation and feeding the next brood, but it is often best to remove the same reasons you want to remove other adult society finches.

Do you actively stop the breeding pair, after the desired number of connections is charged or they will continue to increase after the clutch. It is at this point that I keep a large group of them together. No nest box is necessary for the rest, as they want to come together for the night. They will try to reproduce from the age of 3 months, but as with many species, it is best to wait until they reach 6-8 months before increasing. If you want to encourage them to use as well as he does not leave, they come with other companies that race. Race must be quite new, if you are promoting other species with them. The only exception to this practice can be used for couples who encourage men of other species. It is more than generalities and almost all other species, there are exceptions.
