Post by mickp » Fri Jan 16, 2009 8:24 am

thought this may be an interesting idea.
would have and could have added a lot more options but wasnt able to :cry:
hopefully you will name what other species you have
as there can be many names for each species I am going to put other names that each species are known by in brackets.

other species that I have include
St Helena waxbills
Painted Finch

Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.

Just the zebs. Although...... I read somewhere that canaries are technically finches, no? I have canaries.
A trio of happy zebs.
