Great video Great to know that some finches are not afraid of the loving human hand.

Like it? ... I love it I watched just about every video that was connected to that one. In the past I had canaries that would wrestle like that. I am going to just have to find me at least 1 pair...probably more of these bullfinches. Thanks Ray
Are the males exremely territorial when not breeding... I mean it probably wouldn't be smart to house more than 1 male to an enclosure, would it?

Very neat videos!! So unusual to see finches unafraid let alone 'fighting' with a human!

in breeding time its not smart to have more than one pair in an aviary or large breeding cage , they will fight for sure . Like now the males and females stay together in good harmony and looking for food , sing together , etc .

It might an option to find out if I can bring one pair with me to Florida , I do visit my sis in law once a year in Tampa area , it might worth to try what the rules are for bringing them in , just lett me know and i'll call customs for that .
