About Broken Head Aviaries
I have kept finches for over 30 years but seriously since 1984 when I moved to Broken Head, NSW.
I am a finch breeder and that’s all I keep. I always try to improve whatever species I choose to breed because this is what I believe all true bird breeders should aspire to do.
