Finsch's Conures may be kept with other birds outside their mating season, and are not big chewers.

 Mining Technology - De Beers Diamond Mine - Finsch - South Africa
Finsch is a classic diamondiferous kimberlite pipe, which has a surface expression of around 17.9ha.
Reserves at Finsch are sufficient to maintain mining at current rates for a further 27 years.
The underground mine is accessed via a spiral decline from surface to the 680m level and a 9m-diameter, 763m-deep shaft equipped with three automatic Koepe hoists and capable of handling 5Mt/y of ore. Underground development began in 1978 and the shaft was commissioned in 1982.

 Finsch Mine Block 4 Project
This graticule (slide) can be rotated at an angle of 180° to ensure that the cut holes to be drilled on the next round are more than 150 mm away from the previous marked holes.
To monitor the results of each round blasted, Finsch Mine uses a locally-manufactured profiler, which is mounted on a survey tripod about 1,5 m away from the tunnel face.
The instrument, designed by De Beers Finsch Mine, but manufactured by Wynburg-based Connell Instruments, is aligned using a laser set up at the previous set of survey line pegs and grade pegs.

Finsch is one of the biggest mines in the Kimberley, and generates sparklers year in and year out with a gross value of more $US150 million ($A230 million) for the De Beers empire.
It was found some 6kilometres from Finsch even though it is hidden beneath 20 metres of geologically younger gravels and sediment cover.
Despite its proximity to Finsch and its size (2kilometres across and 7kilometres long), there is no evidence of the paleochannel at surface from the modern-day drainage channels.

 Parrot Picture of the day featuring Pete the Amazon Parrot
A medium sized parrot, the Finsch's measures up to 33cms (14 inches)and is predominantly green, with flish edges to the feathers on the nape and breast.
In the case of the Finsch's, it is bright pinkish red.
The horn coloured beak is said to be shorter and broader in females although this appears to be an unreliable method of sexing the birds since there can be a good deal of variability in size between individual birds.

Last November, De Beers Finsch diamond mine in the Northern Cape became the first underground operation in the world to have a fully automated ore transportation system where currently 5 “driverless” 50-tonne trucks navigate their way between load-and-discharge points as well as 5 manual LDS as part of the general mining process.
Sandvik’s ability to offer the full suite of materials handling technology for both underground and surface mining operations in Africa and the Middle East was boosted recently with the news that one of South Africa’s leading materials handling specialists, Johannesburg-based ETS (Exclusive Technical Services), had been integrated into the group’s activities.
Miracles do happen, or so it seemed to Hans Möhle, section manager in charge of production at Finsch mine’s Block 4 project, when the fifth 50-tonne truck which was urgently needed to ramp up production, began service in the automated haulage loop over two weeks ahead of schedule.

Directors advise that drilling of selected FALCON® gravity gradiometer targets in the vicinity of the Finsch diamond mine in South Africa is due to commence during April.
The drilling company contracted to undertake this program is finalising the acquisition and installation of specialized equipment to enhance the capabilities of the drill rig.
This is located 200 meters north of A64, and is an 18 hectare target from which Tawana recovered 10 diamonds weighing 1.01 carats in gravels overlying the target (refer ASX release 31 March 2005).
