Articles

The following articles are based entirely on my own views and approaches to finch breeding. Given that these views and approaches are from one person's perspective, I don't expect they will all receive 100% agreement from all other finch breeders. However, given the importance I place on having an open mind to new ideas in finch breeding, I very much welcome any feedback and questions which may arise from the subjects discussed.

Having said that, my opinions and methods are based on over 30 years of hands-on finch breeding experience so I would hope that most of the ideas expressed are generally useful and helpful to those wishing to commence or improve their efforts at breeding finches. The list of articles will be added to over time so come back again.
