FINCHforum

Hi All,

Well at least I know that one of my Lavanders is a boy
I played some Lavander videos today, and he responded with the Lavander Finch male song on several occasions.

My other little Lavander just responded with a cheeep (like the first note of the male song).

So...
The question now is, whether number 2 birdie is a girl, or just a shy boy, who is a poor singer.

Any thoughts Isobea and W.I. or anyone else with Lavander Finches ???

i have what i think is a pair. I've had a similar experience... and they seem to be nest curious! But i've had them for only a short time so not sure yet- i am hoping for a boy and girl- they are awesome lol birds. Beautiful and energetic. A favorite

Mine hang out together, sitting shoulder to shoulder and ejoying each others company, but so far no more than that.

Again, like you, I haven't had them for very long and they were stuck in the Pet Shop for quite a long time.

Where did you get your pair from btw?

Out East ... Special order so they should be a pair but one never knows. They were in top condition. I was going to buy from the local pet store but decided not to. Good news is mine are very unlikely to be related to yours... so if I get lucky or vice versa...

Alia

Sounds like a plan

I have never ordered birds from anywhere.
Who do you order from, and how expensive is it, if you don't mind my asking?

Are we placing orders? I only have a single male, who came with a single society finch (they're still best buds), and I can't bring myself to spend $100 on one from the store.

No orders being placed by me, Rob.

So far my two are still hanging out together, but not showing any romantic intentions.

I should pull them out of community, and place them in a flight cage on their own to see what they do. Ah... if only I had more space... .

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for the clip. There are a few videos floting around with a male Lavander calling sound, like this one:

One of mine definitely responds and does the same call, the other one just sits there smiling.
