I am looking for a young, Crested & Frilled Male Society Finch. I live in NYC, but I am willing to drive or pay the shipping fee. I would also like a young, unrelated cream or fawn female society finch. Breeders only...No brokers please. Thank you.

Good luck Ginene! Remember, there will probaly be some at the mart. But you pronaly dont want to wait

I LOVE FRILLED............. I already have 3 cresteds so my next is frilled!

What are the chances that there will be a frilled @ the mart? I have my heart set on getting a male again. But if not, I will definitely get a crested...

Frilled a little chance, but I know there will be crested, and fawn. Last year there were creams as well, I got a pair

I adore societies!!! I MUST have a crested...hopefully some day a frilled...

Mine look identical.... LOL hope to tell them apart.

Band your babies so you don't get them confused with mom & dad. Then when you figure out the sex of each baby you can band them pink or blue.

Ginene I think its a little late to band them, they are already +/- 20 days old ----- and Im deathly scared that I will break their legs!

my fawns is easy, Roseanne has a lot of marbling on her face the baby doesnt.
the choco babies one has (from what I can peak a boo at) a full choco wing the other is half white. they are easy to tell, just got to remember what Rocky looks like...

Anyway I am not going to be breeding these guys anyway unless I get a totally different one - aka CREAM

I know its scary...but split bands can be put on any time.

Ginene OH i didn't know that thats cool I will have to have someone help me lol ... who

I bet you can do it yourself! They come with a tool that holds the band open for you while you put the birds leg in. Then you slide the tool out and the band is on...there's probably "how to" videos on line.

here is a guide to closed and split banding, it is from the FIC http://www.finchinfo.com/breeding/leg_b ... eeping.php
