Two from a local competitor from my store. They may be hybrids, I swear I heard one chirping. The accidentally set one loose, but I paid and I'll go back later and get them. I hope if they are sociaty hybrids that they are as good at fostering eggs!

Tyler? No, I don't live there. I should have a new job soon though and I can say where I am :)

The look like pure Spice finches IMO...

Hopefully they are a pair but I never had any luck breeding my Spices. They were indeed a m/f pair but all the reading I've done says it's better to get a group of juveniles and let them pair up on their own as they mature.

I do love their little song though.

I am enjoying them, they make such lovely sounds. I think one is singing. Their little claws are overgrown, how ling should I let them settle I. Before I clip them? I don't want to stress them too much!

My spice is a....hmmm how can I put this? Anti social. I've trimmed its nails twice now both times it had bitten me. I let him and the societies fly around in the sunroom and the societies had a blast. They went back in the cage/ nest in the evening. The spice on the other hand ....I couldn't find it twice . It hid behind furniture then hid behind a curtain. He wouldn't come to eat or anything. I had a huge tray out with water bowls and everything! He's very flighty and seems to have an attitude. Maybe because he is the only spice?? Anyway, hope you enjoy them.
