Is this true? And if it is does anyone have any tips for not causeing more harm than good? Also what about nail trims do they need them for grip(while mating)or will they puncture the eggs? If anyone can shed some light on this for me I would be thankful. I have been breeding finches but they are easy to breed. Thanks Dave Link to comment
