J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 good pic that mate can you tame them goldies like that? Not being an expert or anything, but i reckon you can tame anything if you have enough time... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patience and time and a few different techniques and you'll reap the rewards. thats a cracking picture of one lovely Finch JD! I'll try and get some pictures up soon of the Goldies and Bully's all around the garden, the Goldies and Chaffies was pulling the Co Co matting out from the wifes hanging baskets for nest material Jasp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Must say I'm surprised how hungary the Goldies are here, the wife put some niger seed out the other days and they on it all the time, also had a nice pair of tits hanging on my seedstick and nuts this morning ....

I left the safety porch open and before long they had come home again! They're not daft, they know where the food is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meroman 105 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Classic photo of the chaffie hen, in my experience chaffies are not easy to tame, I have bred them successfully only a couple of times and that was from a hen which was hand reared.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
