Brucie looks gorgeous. He almost looks fake. What a transformation. Thanks for sharing.
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3

He sure is pretty, and he knows it too! Cary the female is unimpressed though.

Nearly got some blue Zebra finches today... turns out they had been dyed for a commercial... I knew it was too good to be true.

Thanks. Do it. It is so rewarding, every day I go out into the aviary and think "WOW! I've got an aviary!"
