A must watch! :-)

Post by Rox » Sat May 30, 2015 1:10 am

Hi all,

I haven't been online much the last few months, life (particularly work) has been a bit hectic. But the birds and I are all good :) I hope you are all too!

A friend of mine shared this with me on FB and I had to share it with you :D This is the cutest Goldfinch ever!!!!!!!!

Adorable! It's wonderful to see a finch that is so comfortable with its human.

Rox - Thanks for posting this link. A girlfriend of mine had sent it to me on Saturday and I just never got around to posting it here. None of my goldfinches were ever that tame, but then again they lived in my outdoor aviary and I never hand-raised any of their babies.

That was amazing. To reach that level of trust is something I think I can only dream about. Thank you for sharing it.

What an amazing video! I have a goldfinch that is cage bred that tolerates me servicing his cage but he would never land on my hand.
