agrees / disagrees with summert85 , this x-breed can be vertile by a list published by our finch society and for sure unwanted ,even tho its a nice bird ... hope the owner keeps it and doesn't give it a male/female for more breeding . in a case like this we give it to an old peoples home who have an aviary with mixed species and NO breeding nests or anything.
and for sure i don't blame the breeder cos i know these things happen even we don't want this ( i had it once with a silverbill to )

oh i thought hybrid can't breed offspring. read off some sites. But guess that was wrong informations or maybe it only applies to some species. haha anyways, i understand hybrids do happens in large flights/aviary.
