whats everyone's favorite pair of birds ?.
here's my fav crimson finch.So far in twelve months i have breed one cock bird from them.So they are far from the most productive pair.The breed have cost me the most money and heartache in recent times.That's probably why they are my most treasured birds.I have always liked them,For those who don't know much about them they apparently can be very aggressive to any other bird with red on it.and have been documented killing a scarlet parrot.The pair in the photo are housed with a pair of red headed goulds,and if anything the goulds are the more dominant.
Anyone else want to show and tell?

Love your Crimsons, Gomer!
These are not a pair but they are my favourite - or should I say they WILL be my favourite when they decide to breed (damn it)!

Male Pastel Blue (hatched 01/07)

Well if anybody doesn't know by now I love Owls...but I think if I could ever have some BCCB's they would run a close second with Gouldian finches.

All of you have beautiful birds, those crimsons are especially unique as I have never seen them before. My favorite bird so far is my green backed gouldian female, she is SO friendly, she "ride"s the food cup from the top perch to the holding ring on the other side of the cage if I hold it up to her for her to hop onto from the top perch

My yellow gouldians are my favorite pair though, something that just screams gorgious about them

4 gouldians (Devin and Agnes, Jezebel and Rocky), 4 society finches, 2 Zebras, 2 Cordon Bleus
