Yeah it's quite true. My special finches I keep are the friendly less scared ones. I don't really like having flighty ones.
In saying that I have never been able to give a bird away yet lol. I've only sold baby finches.

Oh okay, I just have a couple cages, two breeding cages and then two other cages but I'm getting a big budgie breeding cage soon and also another 1-2 spare cages which will be handy. Do you winter breed at all? This winter I plan to winter breed all through winter. (I'll have maybe 6 pairs of Zebs) At the moment I'm also looking for societies to breed. May take me a while to find some because they are really uncommon here. Hopefully I can find a pair tho.

Hi Frazer,

It seems that over the years there were always some birds in my life.

However after close to 20 years of Lovebirds, I pretty much swore off birds :roll: .
Then I found myself in a Garden Centre and they had a Canary happily singing away.

Shortly thereafter Luciano (Canary) came into my life, to be followed by Teddy and Timmy ( two tiny Zebra brothers). I haven't looked back since, lol.
