FINCHforum

I'm moving shortly, and don't think I can bring all of the birds with me (stress of moving, plus I doubt my landlord would be too happy with me bringing a dozen birds). As a result, I plan on keeping just five of my society finches.


I am offering 3 Java finches, 2 gouldian finches, and 2 society finches. Pairs must be bought together. Feel free to ask about their care, health, history, etc; I've got several threads about my birds that I could link you to.
All of my birds coexist peacefully in a 4' x 1.5' x 4.5' tall flight cage when not breeding. I generally separate for breeding, though my society finches were successful breeding in the flight.


Java finches: $30 each, or $75 for all three.

Birb and Birdo are a proven pair, and tolerate nest checks very well (including temporarily removing the nest to vacuum or taking photos and weighing the baby). They had one clutch this year, and are still in breeding mode; give them a month or two to adjust, and they should be ready to breed again. Birb is the white female, and Birdo is the single-factor pied male.

Birb Birdo Birb's and Birdo's baby hatched on January 11, 2018. It appears to be a normal single-factor pied. I am unsure of its sex, but it has not sung.

Baby (Just fledged in this photo, has since grown in the rest of its feathers) Gouldian finches: $100 for the pair

Psych and Rainbow were good parents to the baby they fledged, and tolerated nest checks (including taking photos). Psych is the black-headed female, and Rainbow is the red-headed male. Important: do NOT breed Psych; she doesn't seem to have the best genes. She is a good mother, though, and fed her disabled baby over a month longer than it should have taken to wean. She would probably make a good foster parent to other gouldians, and perhaps other similarly-sized finches.

Edits: grammar and extra stuff I remembered

Chocolate self society finches: $25 for pair

Laser is the male American chocolate self. Prisma is the female European black brown X American chocolate self (guess; not exactly sure). They both tolerate nest checks (including temporarily removing the nest to take photos), and did well with communal breeding. Laser is a proven parent, raising 10 of his own offspring, and helping feed three of another pair's. Prisma seems to be older and infertile, but is quite broody and helped take care of Laser's 10 offspring. Prisma is quite a bit larger than my other societies, at around 19 grams; most of my society finches are around 14 grams.

Still have the societies? If so what do they come with? Please pm me asap.

Thank you! I'd probably be keeping her if I didn't care about separating the pair. It's just that I'd like Tacocat, rather than Laser, to be the father of my new society finches; since Laser and Prisma are bonded, I don't want to separate them.

These birds have been sold.
