Handraised Society Finches in Maryland

[Pellie]

I hand-raised a bunch of Society finches this summer and now would like to sell 6 of them. I wish I could keep them all! But when there's so many, they don't get as much individual attention.

There are 2 Creamino females ($ 40 each), 2 Fawn males ($ 30 each) and 2 Chocolates ($ 30 each). If anyone is interested in the chocolates, I'll cage them up separately and see if they sing or not. Right now there's so many finches singing in that cage it's hard to tell who's who!

They were weaned onto Lafeber's finch pellets, which means they are absolutely thrilled to get romaine, eggfood, or even millet. They will jump right into your hand to eat it.



The parents came from Su Yin in Texas.
The Fawns and Chocolates aren't quite perfect Selfs -- they have small white marks on the chin or nostrils. As for the Creaminos, I can't tell if they have white spots or not

What made you hand raise them?

I"m looking for a female I'd be happy to take one. I'd like a chocolate female if you happen to have one but a creamino is fine too. I'm in Parkville about 30 minutes north of you.

Hi Angela & Shalamar,
Cool!
I'll separate out the two chocolates and see if they sing. If not, we know that the Creaminos are definitely females.

Thanks all, for the compliments! I'm very proud of them

What made you hand raise them?

About 10 years ago we handraised a little Society chick who had been tossed from the nest. We named her Pellie. She was one of the best companion birds we've ever had! ...She passed away about a year ago and that's what inspired me to breed Societies again.

As pets -- Societies are smart enough to be really curious (what are you eating? What is this stuff on your head, can I build a nest out of it?). But they are "dumb" enough that if you can't interact with them for a few days, they won't be broken hearted. Compared to budgies, they are quieter, have smaller poops, and they don't gnaw on the windowsill. They are much less aggressive than Zebras. And, they are so, so, so cute!!!

Your Socs are so pretty! I am interested in a Creamino hen, if both are not already spoken for! And possibly also a Chocolate, if you have determined that you have a male! I think I am located within an hour of you.
