BREEDING OF CHESTNUT-AND-BLACK WEAVER Ploceus castaneofuscus

摘要

I got my Chestnut-and-black Weavers (CW) Ploceus castaneofuscus in February 2016 from softbill keeper Jay Fleming. They were a gift to me from a former partner, Andy Priestley. On the 5th of May 2017 I moved them and my Taveta weavers P. castaneicepsto a new aviary; just one pair of each species. The reason: to separate the larger weavers from my smaller species (Napoleon Euplectes afer and Red-billed Quelea Quelea quelea), which could be aggressive and cause problems together. I also moved my Black-headed weavers P. melanocephalus to a separate aviary, on their own.
