- I expect this will be the last video wrapping up "what it is like to keep finches". Many thanks to everyone who has watched the videos - you have been a bigger part of the journey than you know!
Don't go. Let us sit with you and watch your birds. It's relaxing and inspiring for this old artist who is stuck inside with covid.
I am so sorry to hear it! Hope you are recovering. I will do my best!
Thank you for sharing your passion for our amazing finches ❤
You are most welcome!
I'm sorry to see you go- I've enjoyed these videos so much, even the ones where it's just the birds doing bird things. Thank you so much for your time and effort on these, they are wonderful.
Thank you for taking the time to let me know- that means a lot!
Sorry to see you go, I have thoroughly enjoyed your birds and you seem so passionate about them.❤️😊🇬🇧
Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed the videos, I have enjoyed making them!
Thank you so much for all the finchy inspiration! I’ll definitely miss your aviary! 🌺🌺🇨🇦
Thank you - I
Appreciate your kindness!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful birds with us all.
I think if you set up a webcam in the aviary and did livestreams that people would enjoy that, too. ;)
Thank you for the kind words and idea. I will give that some thought!
Hello An, It was so lovely to see your Dad 😍 But I am soooo sad to hear this is to be your last video. I do hope, as you continue to care for your beautiful birds, that you film sometimes and share more footage. I just love to see you and your birds daily lives, so beautiful, interesting and relaxing. And if not, I am going to have to start again with your first video and watch all the way through for the 3rd time hehe.
Sending you lots of love from Scotland and thank you very very much for sharing your beautiful birds and aviary with all of us, I really love your videos very much 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Thank you Eileen, I am so sorry to disappoint you, and I know you understand more than most how family responsibilities have to take priority! I am so glad to have “met” you and wish you and yours all the best. Maybe in future I can find a way to resume!
@@Echosaviary Yes family must come first, but please take care, and I have enjoyed out little chats very much. We can of course still keep in touch on Facebook x
Hi An, please rethink that decision. I’m a big fan of your videos from the very beginning. I started without any bird breeding experience just 2.5yrs ago and started right away with cordon blues. Never had any “easier” species. It’s definitely because of your videos I currently breed them with success for the second consecutive year already. You’ve seen them come by from the Netherlands at fb 😊 I’ve rewatched a lot of your videos, took lots of notes and applied it with success. Also experienced a peaceful vibe in every video which I enjoyed a lot. Also Peter and Mollie became celebs to me haha. Looking forward to your next video. For example about the violet eared waxbills. ;-)
First off- congratulations on your success with the Cordon Blues- if you can breed them, almost every other species (I have worked with) will be more similar than different. Thats wonderful. Thank you for the kind words! It really means a lot to think I have been helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. For now, I need to focus on my Dad but it turns out there are some interesting bird things happening this year so I may very well have more to share later….
Beautiful aviary, thank you for sharing!
Thank you, you are very kind!
Thank you for documenting your amazing setup, very inspiring.
Thanks for letting me know you got something out of it!
Hi! I never commented till this one but did watch your videos which were inspirational to see your passion for these amazing and lovely birds and whish that it'll be continued. Very sorry to learn that you're going although I don't know the reason but if you think it's important do let me know. Take care if yourself, this forum of yours will be missed. Stay blessed.
Thank you for taking the time to comment- your kind words mean more than you know! All is well, just that videos are VERY time consuming to make and I can not justify that when other things need to take priority.
@@Echosaviary it's a pleasure, will keep stumbling upon for a peek whenever swing pass your videos online. Take care
Simplemente espectacular👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
So sad 😞 to see you go. I wish you nothing but the best.. thank you for your content and knowledge
Thank you so much for the kind words- they mean a lot to me! I keep thinking I will have some time freed up to capture some of the interesting goings-on but never seems to happen-maybe I can soon…
I have learnt so much, you have been such an inspiration. I am out of words.. God bless you with lots of love and good health. and if possible..please do videos mam. whenever its possible for you. Take care.
Thank you so much- you are very kind! I hope to have time to resume at some point.
😢 now you have a new chapter life in the Aviary with Exotics finches. An A New Adventure people love your videos. Once a month videos. Just put it out there
Thank you John, I will definitely give that some thought! Right now, family obligations need to come first. Sorry to disappoint you bit looking forward to hearing about your new additions in the fall!
So sorry to hear the birdroom had to go. Hopefully the Aviary keeps going. The videos are important to the rest of us.
Thank you Doug- Bird people get it! I have decided to try some live plants again. I never have any luck with them but I thought if Doug can do it, maybe I should try again!
@@Echosaviary can't wait to see the upcoming videos. I'm finding its mostly the fledglings that nibble on the plants....and end of branches....
Well cooperation
I absolutely love your channel ❤❤
I absolutely love that you do! 😄
The aviary is beautiful!!! Well done. I would love to know how you plan on keeping it cleaned? Maybe i missed something in the construction process. Do you power wash everything off? is there a drain to hose out the water ponds/rivers or, do you somehow have the water going through a filter to clean/purify? I would love to know what kind of artifical plants you used to avoid all from being shredded . I love this and would love to use some of your ideas. I too would love to see update videos on this aviary.
Thank you
Hi Rose, thank you for the questions. There are 160 videos that answer them! Check out the aviary build playlist or search on the word “cleaning” and you will get all the tips
Please don’t go. This is so sad. Your videos have been an inspiration to me. Thank you for everything. Maybe a hello video once a year? I wish you well though and thank you again for everything you have posted and all those that you have helped and inspired.
Thank you Paul, you are very kind! I hope to have interesting things to share (and the time to put videos together) in the future, just can’t make that happen just now. I appreciate the kindness- more than you could
Know!
Sorry to see you go. Your videos are so wonderful. I have been looking for violet ears for years and have not been able to find any are you also stopping your breeding program?
Thank you- you are very kind! I will keep working with species that can share space if I can. Not sure where you are in the world but facebook groups can help you find people who work with VE.
@@Echosaviary I am in the USA no luck so far on facebook but hopefully I will find something. thank you!
Can you show us how you double wire your large cages to stop orange breasts escaping, especially around the existing doors etc.
took a day for the zebra's to get out of their cage to explore the aviary... but snuck out a few times when they were in the garage when i was feeding them... birds are silly.
I imagine they own the place now!
@@Echosaviary they kinda do? so far no in fighting, they did take over the nest that the society finches built in the corner of the aviary..... how rude! Haha
What kind of branches are you using I have budgies and want to give them a real tree to perch
I can’t speak to Budgies unfortunately as they are better chewers than finches. A budgie group on facebook could
answer definitively.
Hello, Peter from Norway again, have you stopped posting videos? I miss them. Have you heard of Paul de Niel from Belgium, he is among the biggest in finch breeding. He gives many lectures for bird associations, he has a recipe for feeding food for finches, he boils the seeds for 5-7 minutes, he says that it increases the nutritional value by 2-300%, you avoid the problem of germinated seeds that they become bad .
Hi Peter, for the moment, yes, I have a lot to do with my Dad moving in so videos are just too time consuming. My Black-cheeked waxbills came from Mr. DeNil! I have read that boiling seeds can be preferable over sprouting to avoid possible fermenting and contamination.
@@Echosaviary
I bought 6 greenback twinspot and I gonne make the round nest like yours it seems they love it@@Echosaviary
Have your written some books? Or articles?
