Looking through this thread takes me back years - I loved my noisy busy little finches. Take care you could end up with loads and loads and loads of them.

Do you belong to a local cage bird society? I found mine so helpful years ago. Unfortunately our local one has folded.

This little Bird takes over the nest box and starts begging when the daddy comes near. The mother stopped feeding her altogether as the chick eats drinks baths on its own

Im guessing he wants to be the only child as he keeps chucking all the nesting material out
