After ANY information on these birds in captivity. Info is pretty thin on the ground. Someone out there must have some information / experience.
Cheers

Hi. Main ?? are aviary size, compatibility with finches, diet, noise issues. Basicly anything someone who keeps these birds wished they knew when they started. Do they settle in an aviary or are they always nervous?

They dont need alot of room. 3m X 3m being a minimum. Comptable with all birds, but they will eat finches that fall out of nests.
Noise issues all depends on your personally noise consideration, They arent too noisy.
Captive bred ones settle very will into aviary life. Do not take from the wild unless you have the appropriatte permits.
Diet wise i feed my pair Chopped up day old chickens, hard boiled eggs, mealworms, fish flavoured cat food and a little chopped soft fruits and a small amount of small parrot seed. This is all mixed with Wombaroo insectivore mix.
