Turquoisine grasskeets

These are new. They are two normal split to yellow hens and one yellow male. They are the size of an English budgie and very quiet.

Charlie, that male is GORGEOUS. Congratulations. If I could find a yellow male up here, I would absolutely include a pair in my finch collection. Stunning birds.

Good luck with them!

I just traded for this normal turquoisine male. He's molting and looks rough but will come around fast.

The spare hen has been lonely because the other pair are on eggs already.

It's Cindy's fault I got started with them.
I am really enjoying the grasskeets. They are a nice addition to the finches.
