How to Become Successful Breeder.

1- BUY YOUNG ONES

when u start your hobby always try to get young ones for breeding purpose, develop them in your own environment, they will settle down in your environment, used to the feed, they will give you good results for years to come. I want to share an article published in Australia, they have interviewed different breeders of finches and found those successful who have developed their own strain and keep them for future breeds. We normally sell the young ones of our first breed, please keep those for your future breeding, they will give you maximum breeding results.

2- HELP OTHER FELLOW BREEDERS[B]

Help juniors, help other fellow breeders, by sharing your knowledge with others will benefit from God, keep your expectations with others at minimum level. Make frineds but dont make business partnerships, beacuse i have seen lot of partners separated at the end. Dont hide your breeding secrets with others, talk your failures with others, sharing of knowledge of feed, breed, cage, medicines with fellow breeders is very important.

3- ROUTINE CHECKS

Daily visit your birds , stay at every cage for some time, be observant, use common sense, see your pairs of birds is happy or sitting fluffed up in the aviary. Use repated words when you enter in your aviary, birds do recognize your voice, they will welcome u,

4- DONT GET JELOUS WITH OTHERS

Enjoy bird keeping as a hobby but dont get jelous with other fellow breeders if they are very good breeders, try to learn from them, rather back biting. You cannot become top breeder of every breed, some breeds suits you some are not, jelousy destroy your character. Be happy to share with others.

5- NO SECOND DAY

I have lost so many birds in the past that i saw yesterday they were ill or have symptoms of illness, that i will check tomorrow, believe me tomorrow never comes, PAY YOUR UTMOST ATTENTION TO YOUR ILL BIRDS IMMEDIATELY. dONT WAIT TOMORROW, DO TODAY.

6- LAZINESS

again, I have lost many birds not visiting on daily basis, did not check their water and feed pots, did you check their nest box, did not check their young ones, did not pay attention to their abnormal behaviours, try to routine check your birds on the same time. Dont get sluggish that i will check my bird tomorrow. again tomorrow never comes in bird keeping.

7- COMMON SENSE

I still not achieve my common sense in many parts, after getting lot of experince i have observed that applying some basic changes we can do wonders in bird keeping.

8- LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES

sorry to say that we firmly believe what we have learned every thing from our seniors, try to learn new things, apply them, read them, share them. Bird keeping has changed, if i compare my knolwedge with new breeders, they have more than me, they have lot of apporunity to learn which we could not when i was young. I am not saying that senior breedrs(including me) dont have knowledge, but if it is not updated it need to be updated. I salute internet for giving me apportunity to learn from others. Read books, visit fellow breeders, discuss them, dont be ashmed to get knowiedge from others, said i did this mistake who can i rectify it, put posotive attitutde in birdkeeping. stop thinking negative.
