The sexes are nearly identical. Most of the visual clues have been "educated guesses" at best for me. The most reliable method of sexing has been to wait for the males to sing their courtship song. Some of the visual clues include: the thickness of the breast bar, the width of the crown and the whiteness of the face mask. In males the breast bar is said to be thicker, the crown of the head wider and the face and upper breast whiter than the females. All of these methods are more reliable if you have a number of birds to look at and compare. Just trying it with one pair is difficult unless you've seen a lot of Owl finches.
A standard finch mix will be fine with Owl finches. They eagerly take egg food (Cede egg food), greens and soaked or sprouted seed. Grit and calcium in the form of crushed egg and oyster shells and cuttle-bone should always be available to them.
Breeder's Notes
Owl finches can be bred in cages or aviaries, in pairs or in colonies of 3 or more pairs. They will use dried grasses, coconut fibers, feathers and strips of paper in their nest construction, often lining them with soft feathers, paper or fibers such as jute. Soon after, 4-6 small white eggs are laid with incubation starting after the 3rd egg is laid. Incubation is carried out by both the male and female and lasts about 13 days depending upon high tightly the pair sits. The chicks hatch out with dark skin and gray fuzz, looking nearly identical to Zebra finch chicks. Owl finches fledged in about 18 days days and look similar to the adults with the exception of the dark beak and the white areas are much grayer.
Los sexos en los Owl son casi idénticos. El método más fiable de sexo ha sido esperar a que los machos canten su canción de cortejo. Algunas de las pistas visuales son: el espesor de la linea en el pecho, la anchura de la corona y la blancura de la máscara. En los machos la barra de pecho se dice que es más gruesa, la corona de la cabeza más amplia y la cara y parte superior del pecho más blanco que las hembras. Todos estos métodos son más fiables si usted tiene un número de aves para ver y comparar. Sólo intentarlo con un par de ellos es difícil a menos que usted haya visto una gran cantidad de Owls.
Owl Finch pueden ser criados en jaulas o aviarios, en parejas o en colonias de 3 o más parejas. Van a utilizar los pastos secos, fibras de coco, plumas y tiras de papel en la construcción de su nido, a menudo con forro suave plumas, papel o fibras como el yute. Poco después, 4-6 pequeños huevos blancos se establecen . La incubación es llevada a cabo por los machos y las hembras y dura unos 13 días, dependiendo del calor que le brinde la pareja. Los pichones naceran con la piel oscura y gris siendo paresidisimos a los pichones de la zebras Finch.
