There has to be an easier way that does not involve three holding cells...I just want to be able to catch an escaped zebra finch, we are going to be transporting them to a new cage and one or two may escape in the house... Love the aviary BTW.
Depends on the species and your skills. Sometimes with more chill species your hand is safer and less stress. Other species a net is easier to just block their way.
I missed the part where you said where they were going afterward? Are these youngsters going to be kept in that cage? Or they are going into another (larger/spacious) part of the aviary?
They are probably easier to catch but it stresses them and all the other birds out more. Some birds can fly themselves to dead due to the urgent stress response and low visibility.
Hello, good information. The babies look great. I'm glad that the parents are back on eggs. I will ask a question that viewers might wonder....how do you know you caught the babies and not the parent birds in error? Also, this question is for me.....did you consider keeping one to pair with the owl you have in the bird gallery if you know the sex? I'm looking forward to your next video. Take care, Justine
Thanks. First question: before they look to much like their parents I put a open band on their legs so I could identify them. Check the video for the purple bands ( great question). Second question: No, the female in bird gallery will go with one of the chicks to a friend's Aviary. Hopefully it will be a pair. My pair is too aggressive to put a second pair in.
Oh man my owl finches are not tame and are a pain to catch lol….I had to bring one to the vet and the way I got him was I waited till he was in his nest and grabbed the nest 😕 it was the only way I could just get the one I needed…it worked but yah wish they were tamer lol but still love them to death 👍🏻
The precision was amazing!
Thx
No problem
Finally, I was waiting for this video for a long time 😄😄
Thanks 👍

You can also make a one way trap door towards a small cage but then you have to wait a long time and keep checking if you have the right Bird
Beautiful Aviary
Thanks
Fantastic very nice congratulations
Thank you
Would you like to show your zebra finches care tips and there behavior in this aviary please Sir.
I don't have zebra finches in this aviary
Amazing
Thanks
Do you use any heater in your aviary?
What an incredibly beautiful aviary, I'm so happy I found your UA-cam site!! Is that an indigo bunting or a spectacular blue finch?
Thanks, I think you mean the tri-colored parrotfinch
I use a wire mesh cage trap and set it inside the aviary, eventually the bird im after get in there!
Also a good option
Thank You so much
Thanks for the support
Love from india
Thanks mate
its very easy to catch in small quantify birds how you catch self chicks in big amount birds
Make your full video of aviary with quail can u sir.
Nice looks easy! What would you recommend to get your bird out of a medium cage if you have two of them? A net or your hand?
Depends on the species and your skills. Sometimes with more chill species your hand is safer and less stress. Other species a net is easier to just block their way.

They will be split up towards my friends aviaries and paired with new partners. So their will be no incest.
Can you catch them at night? Or is that too stressful for them?

They are so quick. But this method still works great because it is a small space without obstructions.
😄💕😍👌👍
Thanks
@@MrAviary 💕👍
But i want to catch a finch in the nature but a havent a aviary
Just don't catch finches from the wild
Now make video on how do you catches your quils, 😆
Those are very tame. If you are quick enough it's not that hard.
I have had birds for pets in the past. I was pecked by one. I had a male and female.
mmmm croque-sicles 😋
Buy some zebra finch
I don't think they really fit in my aviary
@@MrAviary OK then buy some more birds
