Temperament:  When not breeding, these Yellow Crown Weaver birds  for sale happily live in a mixed aviary with other birds of various sorts.  When they come around to breeding time, the male can be defensive of his nests so needs to be monitored, especially if there are smaller birds in the enclosure.  The problems mainly occur if the aviary is overcrowded or if there aren’t enough plants to make them feel safe and comfortable.

Breeding: Each male will build two or more oval nests with a top opening, attracting a female to each nest by flaring their yellow feathers and display flights. Nests are built among standing stems of grasses or sedges or shrubs. Bent over stems of live grass help hide the nest. The female will lay from two to four white eggs.

Diet: Classic Finch Seed, Australian Blend Goldenfeast, Millet Sprays, Cuttlefish Bone, Mineral Grit, apples, insects. Buy Yellow Crown Weaver (Bishop) Online

If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, that particular species is ‘monomorphic’, which means we’re unable to determine gender without purchasing DNA testing. DNA testing is an additional $149 per bird to guarantee preferred gender. DNA testing may add an additional 3-6 plus weeks to estimated delivery time to allow for gender results. See our FAQs for more info.
