Nice birds, had any succes in breeding them??

[Africanserin]

Until the moment, they are very bad parents and the female never incubates furthermore almost all the eggs are not fertilized. They are brother and that I believe that it is a problem.

All the chicks that have been born have died with their adoptive mothers

WITH their adoptive mothers??

Maybe you should treat the parents(alario and canary(?)) against flagelaten.

Mauybe you can search this forum on alario, someone had problems too, but succeeded after treating the parents if I am correct.

Hello,

That's a really healthy looking couple, African Serin.
It could be a problem of somekind of illness where your older couple grew resistend against and have no problem with.
But the young birds, born from this couple, do not have this resistance and they die from this....
Could be flagellates.....

Succes, greetings, Serinus.
