Breeding Exotic Birds
Βird breeding usually begins with an interest in each species, their appearance, behavior, and singing. Soon, you begin to feel and understand the needs of each species. You collect information, and the systematic application of this information leads you to the best possible outcome for a beginner breeder – the first successful breeding of the birds!
It’s a thrilling process that offers many emotions from start to finish. And then the first chicks emerge onto the branch. You feel proud. The entire process repeats, and almost always, you experience the same emotions – and disappointments – when things don’t go well. And then comes the moment when, as a “foster parent,” you must raise a chick, possibly just hours old. If the effort succeeds, the reward will be worth it.
And along the way, you learn more, gather experience, and see your efforts bear fruit. Then comes the moment when the difficult becomes easy. The moment when you realize that, when you respectfully meet the needs of each species, it will function naturally as if it were in the wild. It will organize its life and begin fulfilling its purpose: to perpetuate its species. You only need to give it the opportunity. It’s that simple.
Therefore, our goal is to provide you, the amateur breeders, with useful, simplified, and almost popularized advice drawn from experience, which will guide you toward successful breeding of the species you have chosen.
We wish you a pleasant stay and successful breeding!”

TRY OUR
We have designed for you the Gouldian Finch Genetic Calculator, a very useful tool for calculating mutation offspring for Gouldian finches. All you need to do is input the mutations of the parent birds, and the system will calculate all the possible mutations that the offspring might have.
If you want to produce a specific mutation, you can enter it into the REVERSE Genetics Calculator, and the system will suggest which birds you should pair to have the highest probability of producing the desired mutation.

HEALTH
Simple rules of hygiene and cleaning bird room. Quarantine. Basic symptoms of illness, and first aid to small finches.
GENETICS
Basic genetics rules example. Guide to understand inheritance of mutations (Dominant, Recessive, Sex-linked)
MUTATIONS
New and rare mutations and modifications. Learn how mutations act to a feather pigments and structure.
SHOW
Section for information about bird clubs, bird show and judging process. Here you will find info about show standards and defects.

To BIRDin is an online software that allows breeders to manage all the basic functions of their breeding operation.
BIRDin follows all the daily processes that every breeder performs, and similarly, it tracks these actions within the system.
The breeder can visualize the current state of their breeding operation (species, birds, relationships, and lineage), and then the system guides them on a daily basis with the actions they need to take.
Currently is in Greek language.

OTHER SPECIES
General information about some other common finch species. Breeding, behavior and tips.
INTERVIEW
Success bird breeders share with us their experience and knowledge and show us their bird rooms.
CHECK OUR
Since 2012, when we created our first mutation poster, our art and knowledge have continuously improved and expanded. Exotic bird breeding is constantly progressing, and year after year, breeders discover new mutations.
We follow this progress, and any new knowledge (about new and rare mutations) is incorporated into every new edition of our posters.
Our posters are the ultimate knowledge tool for every breeder who wants to advance their breeding operation!
Our posters are recognized by breeders around the world.
Don’t miss the opportunity to have our posters in your breeding operation!
