FINCHforum

We seem to have recently acquired a pack of sardine finches. Any information you might have on this elusive specie would be greatly appreciated. As you'd expect, the container they came in reeks a little...
Needless to say, if you have sardine finch pics, please share them.

We must have gotten birds from the same bloodlines/breeders. I have several of the sardine variety myself. Sadly no pictures to show though...lol

Love it!!

Cute

Ha-ha-Ha...Gotta love that.

I have an even more rare mutation. They are called the So-gould-dines. I had a can containing a bakers dozen, bursting at the seams last night. There were about 9 heads sticking out. I tried so hard to take a picture, but stupid camera would not cooperate. Everything kept coming out blurry.

It's amazing how they don't squish or suffocate each other.
Keep the cute pictures coming.

Too cute!

Hey guys, thanks for sharing info on your sardines. Please provide photos if possible!

Lovely stuff, we in South Africa have a saying in one of our languages here, it goes like " Mooi bly Mooi!" meaning.......... Lovely remains lovely......... that is awesome stuff, to witness life coming to be in front of your eyes everyday.

Here are mine. And this is after they left their original nest (one of the little covered bamboo ones) and then unfledged themselves. I can only imagine how crowded they were with all 6 and their parents and frequently their two older sisters as well all trying to crowd into that one. We called them the clown car.

Sardines...oh my favorite!!! Slap some mustard on and call it a day! Cute babies!!!!

Ooh, I've got a pack of gouldines! I'll have to capture a photo!

All five will pack into the nest with mum and dad.

We said that they're all "pickled" in there.

And so, we arrived at a lovely name for one of the babies. Pickle!

Photo to come!

I miss my little sardine finches! They grew up long ago though : P

Omg those are some great (and adorable) pictures. Thanks guys!
